Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli
put on michelin cc2s on my xm4c 2 years ago. our temps run from 0F in winter to 115F in summer. i like these tires.
I swap my tires 2 weeks ago on the VB for some Pirelli CINTURATO WeatherActive all weather and \u201cOh boy\u201d they are good for snow. Way better than the DSW06.
Just got 20 inch Michelin cross climates 2 for $1450.
I just popped mine on tonight for the east coast snow shenanigans this weekend. They did amazing during 1000+ mile ski trip to Canada. They make the speed variable humming. But man are they soft.
Can vouch for Michelin E Primacy. Quiet and supposedly saves fuel due to low rolling resistance.
I have Michelin x-ice on my commuter and the thing is a tank in the snow.
So I settled for Defenders, which are fine.
Chill mode shpild be more efficient, but I put my YP in sport mode when there's enough snow and ice on the road to be slippery. I drive with it in chill most of the time for efficiency and to save tires, but last winter the rear stepped out a few times in snow and ice at speeds from 25 MPH around a traffic circle and on a curve going up a steep grade on the interstate at 60 MPH even with Michelin Ice-X tires on 19s.
Every Michelin I've owned has been too loud for me.
I’ve had both on my car here in Michigan, the CC2 was awful on packed snow and ice, especially the braking distance. I had them removed because both me and my wife hated them. Yes, they were noisy and very inefficient too.
