I had Michelin X-Ice on my wife’s car this past season and they were by far the quietest snow tire I’ve ever had so I stay stick with Michelin.
I have a 2002 Explorer Eddie Bauer that I love. Fantastic vehicle, and we call her "Dora" (the Explorer.) I put Michelin Defender LTX M/S on mine. Works wonderfully, and since my family loves it too, the Michelins bring peace of mind since they are comfortable, tough, and have excellent traction wet and dry (I've not tried snow since it doesn't snow in SoCal.)
I literally just put these on my 2016 Kia Soul and have not noticed any difference in road noise or loudness. I find the ride just as comfortable or more than the Kumho Solus stock tires they replaced. They are quiet and the grip I get gives me great confidence so far driving on dry and pouring rain this past week in Pennsylvania. I highly recommend the new Michelin’s at least in initial quality with less than 100 miles on.
I ordered some 235/55/17 Michelin X-ice tires since Discount Tire was having a sale on Michelins.
Yokohama Advan Sport A/S 245-45-19. Stock is 225-45-19. They fit well and the performance difference over stock is very noticeable (handles much better).
I really like Michelin tires. Their wild enduro tires have more highspeed and cornering grip than anything else that I've tested.
I just put the a/s 4s on my turbo. They’re perfect so far, no noisier than the stock tires. Car handles even better now, and I loved how it handled off the lot.
Get rid of the subpar tires. A Michelin climate-cross plus tire would make your car shine.
30K miles on my A/S3's on the Mini. They still grip reasonably well in the dry; the wet is iffy. While there is still treadlife left, the tire howl has becoming bad. They were nearly silent when new.
My old 15" Conti's where great in the snow but these 17" Michelins really break traction easy.
