I had hakkas studded since 2015 and switched to X-ice this year. Phenomenonal tires. I didn't expect it to be better than hakkas in my experience. Huge difference in traction on dry pavements during winter on highways like Henday which I drive everyday, not to mention, the most quiet winter tired I've used. My next winters will be X-ice again for sure.
I like my Toyo AT3s. Just went to Pennsylvania for a project and they handled the snow and ice pretty well. It felt like I was driving in the rain with them but they had enough bite to slow me down and keep me in control on all the hills and inclined roads over there.
They handle great on ice, they cut through deep snow. I didn't skid or slide much, and I didn't get pulled around during lane changes or driving my car across deep ruts.
I have Michelin Defender2s on my '19. They are great tires. I don't really see any snow, but they do great in the rain. They ride well, are pretty grippy for all-seasons and handle 80mph on the highway with 0 issues.
I just upgraded our Crosstrek Hybrid to Cross Climate 2's - They are good all-season touring tires. The stock Falken tires are... meh, and mine didn't seem to last very long.
It's only been a day, but the CC2's are super responsive and the car is a whole lot quieter.
I have the same vehicle and put Michelin CC2 on it. They're a grip hugging tire and have enjoyed having them on the vehicle. One other tire that I've come across and considering for the future are the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive which was tested and outperformed the CC2 on wet roads. However, the CC2 does have a better tread life and wear rate. Can't go wrong with either.
Michelin Defender 100%. Cross Climate is a close second. Michelin are expensive for a reason- they’re the best. Fantastic ride quality, durable rubber compound, and most importantly even tread wear. 10x better than the junk OEM Falken or Yokohama tires
For a Civic, something like X-Ice Snow or Blizzak WS90 will make winter driving way less stressful.
Depends on the All Seasons IMO. Michelin Pilot AS have been pretty good. Cross Climates are better. But yes, nothing will beat snow tires.
I have them and am not happy with them. I expected better. Poor wet handling and when I take a sharp turn they don\u2019t hug the road - lots of road noise too. I will be switching to pilot sport A/S as it doesn\u2019t snow in downtown Toronto a whole lot. I\u2019m not willing to compromise performance/ handling. Very good for commuters and people who drive in snow and don\u2019t want to do the winter switch over.
