At the price point, in my opinion, the Michelin is just not worth the extra money. The ps all season 4 and dws06+ trade blows all day on what they excel in.
Consider getting a good set of all-season tires. I have a 2wd Honda Civic that does great in snow because it has FWD and great tires. Michelin Cross-Climate are what I have and are one of the best.
Brake early, get some winter tires, Michelin CrossClimate 2s are the best at summer and winter if you can only do one set.
I got Michelin Cross Climate 2. I expected them to be so so compared to the Pilot 4 Summer I had on, but I’ve been really pleasantly surprised. They’re a bit softer (not always a bad thing) and they make me feel so much more confident and safe in cold weather.
We went from a continental "contact" tire which was supposed to be highly rated to the crossclimates. This is on a van. The cross climates are quiet and have a much better ride quality. I haven't driven them in snow yet, but the tread appearance gives me confidence. We also have similar MPG, meaning we haven't given up mileage, and it may have improved. I'm anticipating getting them for my car soon.
I bought some nice tires for my wifes car. The set of 4 and the install was about $1500
I put a set on my Avalon. I thought they were great. Definitely dinged my gas mileage. They plowed thru standing water with ease. The wheel didn’t jerk and the car stayed true. Good in snow as well.
+1 Cross Climate 2. they're great in wet, snow, ice, and ...everything. Not just snow. Really grippy for the type of mixed-sleet, icy roads we get around virginia.
After 2 years and 20k miles my cross climate 2 started to lose traction on ice. Still at 8/32nds though.
No. I live in Michigan and was severely disappointed with the Michelin CC2. The packed-snow braking, and lateral grip leave a LOT to be desired. In our neighborhood with packed snow the car just slid… And slid… and kept sliding. Even my wife exclaimed “aren’t these new tires” lol. The packed-snow and Ice traction is no different than a basic all-season tire. The only thing these tires excelled at is deep-puddles and rain, they really shed water fast.
