last winter I replaced my worn out Blizzak tires with Michelin Cross Climate tires and was really impressed by the performance. Our winters have changed, less pure snow and more wet. Great performance in both situations.
CrossClimates are expensive up front, but they’re incredibly durable, offer outstanding wet handling and short stopping distances, and are among the safest all-weather tires on the market. Once you factor in how long they last, the price per km ends up being very low.
Very very happy with my x ice tires
I’ve bought both for my Jetta. The X-Ice worked great in our winter conditions. The X-Ice have a 60k tread wear warranty and the Blizzaks have none. The X-Ice are also made at the Michelin Pictou plant so they support Nova Scotian jobs.
I would stand by the Michelin Cross Climate 2 as a year round tire. I found it fantastic in the rain and snow. I think the trade off was that the ice performance was worse than a traditional snow and ice tire, but overall, it was just fantastic and if my current car hadn't come with new tires, I would have just bought those again.
X-Ice are great.
the X-Ice has lower rolling resistance (better fuel economy) and is the only winter tire I know of with a manufacturer treadlife warranty, so if longevity is your concern, go Michelin.
my michelin x ice's lasted FOREVER.
Vara/primavara/toamna se comporta foarte ok, nu am sesizat diferente fata de o anvelopa dedicata. Se comporta chiar mai bine decat o anvelopa dedicata din gama medie de pret.
Iarna pe frig (fara zapada) la fel, comportament excelent.
Insa in zapada, chiar si mica, acolo am observat diferente. Trebuie sa conduc cu cel putin 30-40% mai “defensiv” si mai atent ca sa nu fiu luat prin surprindere (distanta franare, derapaj, urcare/coborare pante).
My experience with Pilot Sports on an Audi was that they had really weak sidewalls
