Tires MICHELIN or WEST LAKE
really like the Michelin Crossclimate2. They look a bit funky. Excellent in wet weather. Far better than the factory tires.
I bought crossclimate 2 and received over 3 feet of snow a week later.
Literally no issues at all in the snow and ice. Fantastic tire.
We have michelin defenders and are happy. Live in southern california so not a lot of rain but they seem to perform fine when it does.
I've been able to survive these the last decade with a RWD car on Michelin X-Ice Snow tires, so I bought a set for the GRC also. And they don't completely suck when the ground isn't snowy or icy.
I now have the Michelin Energy xm2+ on a corolla. It's a good economy tyre, focusing on low rolling resistance and longevity. The Michelin is a bit quieter, but fuel consumption went up a little (0.2-0.3l/100km) on my Hybrid Corolla.
My brother has the xm2 on a 400hp toy, and the xm2 tyres still work quite well.
I put Michelin Cross Climate 2s on my mine and they seem to be doing well.
I’m running the Michelin X ice no problems in the Montana winters does great and haven’t been stuck yet. Plows through 2 feet of snow
Came with Hankooks Ventus S1 Evo 3. My previous car I was running Michelin Cup 2's and while definitely more grip they didn't last very long.
I know this is a few months old and you've probably already bought tires but for anyone else stay far away from Westlake they are garbage I had a set and within a few months the sidewalls on two of them had bulges after the car just sat in my garage for a few days no potholes, damage etc. they have one job; to support the weight of the car and they can't even do that.
