Tires MICHELIN or OEM Subaru
From my experience on LS430, they last longer. Michelin MXV4 lasted 60k miles and got m through winter.
X-ice will last longer because of the tread construction and comes with a bit of a warranty. They handle phenomenally.
Michelin Defender 2 . They came with my car when I got it and opened my eyes to what a good new set of tires is like. They also last a really long time. Im shocked to still see alot of thread instead of shocked by seeing how fast the tread is wasting
X ice have been pretty good for Edmonton/Alberta winters. We used them for about 6 years.
I have also run X-Ice Snow when they updated that tire. One thing to note about most winter tires, is that when they get wear down, the lower part of the tread is no longer considered a snow tire, but rather all seasons. X-Ice snow doesn't do this, the sipes go all the way down to the bottom. That kinda sold me on them when I had purchased them.
I've used X-ice for years. One of the best tires on the market for snow.
I drive a 2004 volvo XC70, that sees a lot of dirt, mud, back roads and sometimes even snow. Michelin cross climate 2s on that thing no matter what... Those tires are just plain amazing on anything all wheel drive that encounters a lot of sloppy shit.
Michelin Defenders best tire on the market don\u2019t care what anyone says
I bought these for my Lexus replacing latitudes, went to Lexus got an alignment, put it on the road to Tennessee probably 4-500 ish miles one way. They were pretty grippy on the back roads, but highway driving was just to loud for me. So I took them back within the 1000 mile guarantee, when I got back from Tennessee and got a new set of latitudes. They are good tires for sure but they are also directional tires so that's where you get the bit of road noise. But they do have hella grip.
Don't bother going Michellin, all just big mame hype
