Just put the Ice X's back on yesterday for their 2nd winter after going with them from this thread. Very pleased w/ their performance and wear so far.
My Countryman has Michelin X-Ice tires in winter.
I had a set of four Michelin Defender all season tires on my SUV and had them for 6 years before having to get new tires and I will sadly admit that I neglected to rotate them for the last 4 years and they lasted through snow rain summer I drive about 1200 maybe 1300 miles a month I highly recommend Michelin tires to anybody for anything truck car motorcycle you get what you pay for
I had a set on my civic before I sold it and honestly they were great. I felt confident cornering with them and they very rarely chirped because they had such good grip!
Get the michelins. Best tire. Smooth, quiet, long lasting, great warrenty, great in rain & snow.
I went down a size to 17 inch and got the Michelin x ice snow. I believe these and the blizzak ws90 are the top rated so get whatever is the cheaper option or has stock.
I had x ice on my accord and they were solid with great tread life.
I had the road control 2 all seasons on my cx5 and was averaging 27-28 mpg. I put the defender 2 on, averaging 30-32 mpg now. Check it at the pump to compare with the computer and the vehicle was off 0.5 mpg.
If road noise is a concern, I would avoid Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Seasons. I haven't driven the Hankook's but the PS4AS were noticeably louder than the MXM4 and louder than the Pilot Sport 4 Summer tires I currently have now (with the foam).
I personally didn't like Michelin tires when I was a tire technician, but I won't discount their strengths. The biggest problem with Michelin tires is dry rot, I don't recommend them if the car sits for long periods outside.
