Reviews of MICHELIN tires

So I settled for Defenders, which are fine.

I put a set on my Avalon. I thought they were great. Definitely dinged my gas mileage. They plowed thru standing water with ease. The wheel didn’t jerk and the car stayed true. Good in snow as well.

+1 Cross Climate 2. they're great in wet, snow, ice, and ...everything. Not just snow. Really grippy for the type of mixed-sleet, icy roads we get around virginia.

Cross climates all the way. They’re also excellent in rain.

Vote for Cross Climate (2). I switched to them from Michelin Pilot Sports and they have served us much better. They've aged well and we've gotten nearly 60k miles on them. They are far more confident in the snow than any other all season tire we've had.

Chill mode shpild be more efficient, but I put my YP in sport mode when there's enough snow and ice on the road to be slippery. I drive with it in chill most of the time for efficiency and to save tires, but last winter the rear stepped out a few times in snow and ice at speeds from 25 MPH around a traffic circle and on a curve going up a steep grade on the interstate at 60 MPH even with Michelin Ice-X tires on 19s.

Michelin Road 6 have been so awesome I got them again recently. Very confidence inspiring, more capable than I. By that I mean I can't take a corner fast enough to feel unsafe. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Just put on the alpin 5s for winter. Car is pretty good in 6” of snow or less and the alpin 5s are actually fun to drive in cold dry.

So I have run the cc2 on my 2010 legacy for about 30k, I'm pretty familiar with their good and bad points. They wear very well so long as you rotate every 5k or less and keep your alignment to spec. After 30k I'm still at 8/32. They have phenomenal snow traction and outstanding rain performance. Summer performance is fine, not dedicated summer sport tire level but fine for me. They can be a little bit louder but nothing that bothers. They do pick up gravel, so you do hear that as it gets ejected and they will cut your mileage by about 2-3 mpg, also no big deal. All in all I find them to be the best tires I've ever run on an all wheel drive car and I will always run them on my subie unless something is proven better.

I have PS4S on my 992.2 C2S and these are fine in very rainy weather l use the WET mode when it's pouring down. The weather around here 5c 41f.
