On a separate note I don't notice much difference between Michelin and Pirelli in the dry, but in the wet gimme' my Michelin's any day.
Recommendation:\n- Michelin Cross Climate 2 with padding. I get them from Discount Tires, I buy their insurance. What you pay upfront is what you get in back end. I have had a few total replacements with no cost.
I found Michelin Road 5s to keep their excellent feel in the wet and the cold. I commuted in under 10 degrees F and through snowstorms on them several times. Obviously slowed way down in the snow, but the tires kept telling me they had more grip if I wanted it.
Very decent snow tires despite not being all-out winters. AMAZING in the rain. Aquaplane resistance is second to none, great straight line grip, pretty good in the corners. My current set is down to about 5/16 and is losing grip like crazy, but that is expected. It took 70k miles to get down to 5/16, by the way.
I have a 2019 100D with 22s, and I use the Pirelli Scorpions. My rears have lasted pretty long I\u2019m still on my replacement set from 1.5years ago, just replaced my fronts.
You could go to an all weather tire like the Michelin Cross Climate 2
Crossclimate 2 on 2016 Civic over 70k miles on them and still good (per Costco, I still have about 15020K miles on them). They are very good on water and ok in snow. HOWEVER they become noisier as they age.
I have the Michelin Pilot Sport All-season 4s which is the primary competitor to this tire and they’re completely useless in the snow on my 06. Great cold and wet weather tire but if you frequently need to drive in snow then get a proper winter tire.
I just swapped Pirelli Scorpions that came on my Edge for Geolanders. The scorps only had 35k on them and were cupped with sidewall belts showing.
I was never more unimpressed by a higher brand of tire than I was by Pirelli. Michelin are my go to
