I have cross climate 2s that are highly rated all weather tires for winter driving. They're phenomenal. My current FWD car drives about the same as my old AWD car did thanks to them.
I've run 200TW AD09s for 30,000 miles and they're just barely beyond half tread in the rear. by far the longest lasting 200TW I've come across.
I buy Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires because their performance means my safety. (Also because they handle well when I’m having fun)
For a second vehicle that still has to be solid in snow, I’d go Michelin X-Ice Snow and not even think twice. They bite way harder on packed snow than any A/T and make a heavy truck like a Silverado feel way more planted on cold mornings. I ran them on my old 1500 and the difference in braking/steering vs. all-terrains was huge.
a dedicated winter like the Michelin X-Ice Snow makes a huge difference on those slick mornings and unplowed side streets.
Bit the bullet this year and put the Michelin X-Ice on. Completely different handling and traction.
Best tires on the market are Michelin Defenders. You’ll thank me in 3 years when you have little to no tire wear
I just put Michelin Crossclimate2s on mine and they're doing great.
They’re….not great. I went through a few not especially bad Detroit winters on them. Weren’t dangerously bad, but I still felt more in control in my old FWD Malibu with snow tires than I did with AWD and those tires. Running CrossClimates now but no snow yet. Stay tuned.
The OEM tires - Michelin EnergySaver AS - are great for efficiency and pretty bad for everything else. Went through two sets, and both were consistently bad in rain and snow. One of the tires on the second set got ripped on the *sidewall* as it hit a pothole, and I found out later that the sidewalls were indeed a bit of weakness for them.
