Tires MICHELIN or WEST LAKE
Michelin X-Ice for me. They do great in slush and slop too - we got 11” of snow here in Minnesota a last spring and one of the kids and I drove around with shovels and kitty litter helping folks who were stuck, it was unbelievably fun - the Crosstrek is unstoppable with those tires.
Michelin Cross Climate 2s. The small range hit is worth the confidence in rain and snow. That said, the CC2s are still incredible in wet. I still strongly suggest them. They do good in snow but you don't have to use them for it.
I run Michelin Cross Climate 2’s. After switching to them from the OEMs I loved being able to brake hard, instead of activate the ABS and run out much longer. Energy consumption is up, I dunno, 10%? But I don’t road trip with it anyway. Also the tires are quieter and provide a more comfy ride.
kes saya, tayar depan dah pakai 80k, tayar belakang 60k.. rotate tayar setiap 20k km.. masa lalu highway hujan lebat masih boleh jalan laju tanpa aquaplaning.. jalan basah tekan brek pun masih cengkam xgelongsor..
I’m not convinced that Chinese tires are terrible, it depends on the brand. ZC tires, who make Westlake and Arisun, I think makes a good product, and have arguably the most advanced automated tire manufacturing for any consumer tires. If you handed me that list and said, you need tires today, these are the brands we have in stock, I’d go with Westlake.
I've always mounted/balanced westlake winter tires onto used cars at my dealer. They're cheap and readily available.
Din ce am auzit de la un om care face taxi la Straja, cu Michelin Cross Climate2, nu a simtit diferenta fata de cauciucurile de iarna. eu am Michelin CC2 suv pe tiguan 2019 2.0 tsi 4motion 230 cai, si pe ploaie+namol+pietris au fost fantastice, pe panta cu inclinatie mult peste 12%.
Am michelin CC2 pe ambele masini. Se comporta foarte bine in 99% din timp. Daca nu te grabesti de fel, eu zic ca sunt o alegere foarte buna.
My current tire is a Michelin Commander III....200/55R17 and is exactly as I described, bald from side to side with a little tread left on the outside.
Gonna cost me $1200 for 4 Michelin Defender 2's (245/55/19) on my 2008 Highlander (March 2025) with installation.
