Switched to Michelin CrossClimate2 in the EU squared tire size so we can do rear to front rotations.
I’d recommend Michelin CrossClimates. They’re quite good in the snow (3 peak rated) and in all weather situations. Quite a breakthrough in tire tech IMO.
Think I'm going to get Michelin Cross-Climates in lieu of dedicated snows this year. Don't get much snow in NoVa, but I've always been happy to have winter tires both in the cold and for the few times it does snow. I've read an awful lot about the Michelins being almost as good as a dedicated winter tire in the snow, so I'll be interested to see how they behave -- they'll almost certainly be good enough for my needs.
I got Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. The responsiveness and grip I got compared to stock is insane, especially if they got a bit less pressure than asked by Mazda.
MICHELIN CrossClimate® 2. Best tire I ever bought.
The overall best one is probably the Michelin CrossClimate2, which has excellent wet and dry traction in addition to its excellent winter traction.
I just bought a set of Michelin Cross climate 2s for my Subaru Crosstrek. A specific winter-only set would be best, but a good all-season works too.
PS4s are incredible. They make any car they are on feel 800lbs lighter and handling nimbleness seems to come with.
I warrantied my OEM set (replaced at 14k miles) and never contacted michelin myself, just went to discount tire and inquired about it with them. As for the tires wearing out after 14k miles: I did do some occasional aggressive driving, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Evenly worn all around and rotated every 5k.
one of the michelins on my car blew at about 14,000 mi. it had a slash/crack on the sidewall not covered by any warrenty......It could have been a slasher or road hazard but I had driven out of my driveway and down the road a couple of miles and then it blew.......if someone knifed it it seems it would have been flat before I left..........I don't recall any debris on the road that could've caused the cut........other than that they seemed ok....
