Here in northeast WI we upgraded from the OEM Yokohama Avid GTs (on the Prime XSE) to the all-weather Cross Climate 2s by Michelin, best upgrade yet. Smoother and quieter ride, plus much better grip in snow and ice. Purchased these tires after much research, highly recommend.
Got Michelin Crossclimate2 tires around 19k miles. The ride is smoother and feels like I’m locked into the road. Speed bumps, pot holes, and such feel way smoother to ride over.
I replaced the stock Yokohama Geolanders with Michelin Defender T+H after 3k miles. The change was quite drastic in noise-reduction and the Defenders performed a lot better too. It absorbed bumps a lot better and handles really well in both wet and snow
Replaced stock toyos after about 6k miles on my ‘22 with Michelin CC2s.
Subjectively quieter, softer ride, and performs better in snow/wet.
I'm happy with my Michelin cross climate. In Minneapolis. They're okay in the snow. Good in wet and dry.
Swapped my hankooks for the defenders last year.
Best tire hands down is the defender. It’s quiet, grippy, wears well. Won’t buy anything else for the summer seasons (run dedicated winters).
After several months with the Pilot A/S 4 tires, all is well. No blowouts, sidewall bubbles or bent rims. You can tell the difference the XL tires make. At first I thought I detected a little rougher ride but soon afterwards I am fine with the ride. Tire noise on certain surfaces is a little louder but overall fine. We will see how it goes with winter coming on, north of Philadelphia.
For winter tires the ice-x by Michelin are fantastic. But I was not impressed with the stock tires especially in heavy rain.
I’m in the Pacific Northwest here, probably similar weather conditions like you. I have seen a 2-3 kWh/100 mi increase in consumption compared to the summer tires.
E93 here formerly with RFTs, they were awful, cracked MV4s and new RFTs every 3-4 months was the norm. Got some Michelin non-RFTs and never looked back
