The cross climates don’t have best grip for handling but are ok … but they are just safer in colder weather especially with kids in the car.
Been on 32mm pro 5’s since August and I’ve been very impressed for using them for general riding. In terms of endurance tires they feel incredibly fast and grippy. No punctures even though they are on the lighter end of endurance tire offerings.
Mióta megvan az autó (3 éve) négyévszakos abroncsok vannak alatta. Először Hankook volt, tavaly kapott Michelin Crossclimate gumikat.
Mentem már vele tükörjégen, szakadó hóesésben, most a letakarítatlan 20 centis hóban is. Nem mondom, hogy itt-ott nem csusszant meg, de nem volt eddig semmi gond vele.
A few months ago I replaced an old set of [Panracer Gravel King Slick+] 35mm and butyl tubes with the [Michelin Pro5] 35mm with TPU tubes.
Very happy with the performance, they genuinely feel faster, which they are according to [bicyclerollingresistance] they are.
I’d go with the Michelin Defenders. I bought a set of Michelin X Tour A/S 2s (Costco version of Defender 2s) back in April 2023, and after almost 3 years and 70k miles, there’s still plenty of tread left on them. They’ve lasted twice as long as my previous tires now, even with regular rotations.
Michelin defender 2 easily out of those options. It has been a tire that has consistently lasted over 80k miles in 4 of my families vehicles, all with different drivers but regular rotations at Costco. Also has very low rolling resistance so youll save fuel.
With the right tires your golden. Michelin Cross climate are top tier for light snow like this.
If snow tires are an overkill for you just replace OEM tires with Michelin CrossClimate 2. Those will be enough.
I have used Road 6 and currently riding T32’s. Haven’t gotten a chance on the T33’s. If they are anything like the 32’s, you can’t really go wrong with either. My only gripe with the Road 6 is that many people hyped them up (where I live) so I was disappointed in the longevity. I think I got 13k miles out of them?
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.
