Cross Climate 2 are amazing tires especially switching from the Toyo ones. So much quieter and the tires just seem to hug the curves even better.
I just got the Michelin CC2s installed two days ago replacing worn down Nokian WRG2s on my 2011 Toyota Sienna and so far the ride quality is significantly better compared to the Nokians. Heck the road noise that people were mentioning doesn't seem to be a thing on my vehicle. Road noise on the old Nokians was far far more noticeable.
Michelin Pilot Alpin 5
Dealt with the same dilemma, went with the Michelin’s in the same size. Only about 500 miles in with them so I can’t vouch for snow, but they have been phenomenal on-road, in wet weather, and on the light trails/dirt roads I frequent for larping. Definitely a world of difference compared to the stock Dunlops and the KO2s I had on my Jeep, which I hated because they were so heavy and notorious for sliding in anything but dry conditions.
i have been running the Quatrac Pro on my WRX for a couple years now and they're awesome. The Vredesteins are very competent--excellent traction both wet and dry, quiet, and rated for high performance. Good wear, too
Spent a month driving all over the mountains in Colorado winter with Pilot Alpin PA4s on Enkei Raijin 18”s, multiple snowy passes, zero drama. Excellent grip and stopping power, but also good on dry pavement and firm handling when you need it. 13/10
I run 225/40/18 Michelin XIce3 in my 2018R. I bought OEM 18inch Audi BBS CH wheels from a B7 S4 which fit perfectly.
Happy with them so far, 1K miles in. Quiet, dry and wet grip for days, decent rolling resistance. Great for warm/hot climates.
I noticed some articles say they were designed for wet weather and where I live is very dry, so I am going to get Michelin Defender 2s this time.
Made a customer cry because she couldn't afford tires for her car. University student, leased a Honda Civic but got the Sport Package which included 18" wheels with 235/45R18, and it came with a set of winter wheels/tires with Michelines.
