Putting Cross Climate 2’s on was one of the best decisions ever. Wet, dry, snow or sun… doesn’t matter - these tires continue to impress.
I like Michelin Primacy for quiet ride
One thing to note, we absolutely love the Michelin Defenders.
It handles Midwest winters way better than the four options you listed, lasts longer (80k warranty), and feels more planted on heavier SUVs.
Michelin Defender 2 is a wonderful tire
I've had Michelin Cross Climate 2 and I love them. Rode through a blizzard without any issues.
I have the cross climates and there’s so much wider. Drives better too.
I hated the road noise and the firm feel from the OEM Conti's. Replaced with Michelin Crossclimate II's and the ride is much smoother and quieter.
The tread pattern on the cross climate tires is noisy and you might notice a drop in mileage (-10mpg has been reported).
I put Michelin Pilot AS4s on my Subaru WRX in about Nov 2022. They were great for that winter. Since they're "ultra high performance all-weather" tires, I just planned on running them year-round. Come next winter, though - they were legit dangerous.
