Michelin X-Ice Snows through Costco turned my R56 from a one-wheel-drive potato into a competent winter vehicle, all while still being quiet on the highway like a summer tire.
Owner reviews for tires
I use Nokian G4's in Colorado.
Cross climates are fantastic. I’ve 20000 miles on mine & only changing soon because well, winter. Still not down to the wear markers and they’ve had a pretty hard time…
I run these on my 2019 Countryman and they work great. Very happy with their winter performance:
Idk if the showroom guys have control over that because I asked for Apollo and I got MRF. The sales guy told me the bikes get allocated at random.
But coming to the tyre itself I would say the MRFs are good only. Never felt the lack of grip except one time when my tyre was in slushy mud. Appearance wise also the MRF's look a little wider compared to the Apollo's since the tyre profile is more curved in the latter if that matters to you.
Had them on our Pilot a few years back. Loved them. I would purchase again.
I got 250 for mine with less than 200 miles on them
You will lose some steering feel and precision, but Michelin tires are so good that I don't really notice much of a grip difference. They should be better in the rain, and they're good in light snow. They will also make the ride more comfortable and a bit quieter. Plus a 40,000 mile tread life on such a high level of performance is insane.
I don’t share the same disdain for them that everyone else on this sub though. Our CX-5+stock tires is still 10x quieter than the Honda Accord+Pirellis that it replaced.
I had a set of the Falken’s on my 2016 2500. At about 20k miles it started ripping the lugs off the tire. I noticed it one day on one of the rear tires. Just the whole chunk of rubber gone. Then it kept happening more on both the tires on the rear.
