Tires MICHELIN or Achilles

I got exact same tires as yours, Michelin Defender LTX 275/65R18 at Costco two years ago, about $1200. Pricy but nice tires.

Michelin Cross Climate 2 are great in the rain/wet. Very happy with them.

Depuis des années je ne mets que des Crossclimate sur mes 2 voitures, les meilleurs pneus que j'ai jamais eu et de loin, excellents sur le sec comme sur le mouillé, et d'après les essais et vidéos que j'ai vu, excellents aussi sur la neige

The CC2 is money. Great in everything I’ve thrown at it including significant snow. I’ve run them on both of our cars. The only semi negative I’ve encountered is they can’t be rotated in the typical method.

Just picked up practically new Michelin CrossClimate2 for our 328i Gran Turismo, probably the last set of tires I'll buy for that car, which has been great.

I'll say that I used to insist on Continentals on my VWs, but when they weren't available for my former Touareg, the Michelin Cross Climate 2 was highly recommended and I felt I was settling, but took them as they were what was available. Then I found that there was magic about those tires! In all my life I had never driven a vehicle that performed as my Touareg did with those Cross Climates. I even had a long time VW friend drive it and he said that it felt as if the Touareg was floating down the highway. The tires were perfectly quiet

We have Michelin XIce 3’s on our QX50. No issues climbing Mariner St, Johnson St or David

I have CrossClimate2 on 3 of my cars. I can’t believe how good this tire is.

Good years are really nice, Michelin preform well but suck to work on in case you get a nail

The pilot sports are terrible. I burned through my set in 11000 miles.
