Tires MICHELIN or Barum

I have the cross Climates on my 19 Forester. I love them. I can’t wait for snow.

Joining the rest of folks here to say that it’s worth it to switch to the CC2s. They are superior in every way. Road noise is not an issue in my experience at all.

Not sure why he would suggest an inferior tire. The Cross Climate 2 are an excellent all weather tire

The GY were ok and did their job but were no where close to being as good as the Comfortread they replaced.

The CC2’s so far are amazing. Great wet and dry traction, smooth and quiet on the highway.

I replaced mine with Michelin Defenders at 17k

I got the defender 2s (Michelin) and they are nice. I drive a Honda odyssey.

I ended up with the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Had them about 1k so far and I love them. Slightly louder, like barely noticeable, but boy do they bite the road well.

Every set of Michelin tires I've had out lasted their mileage warranty and were dry rotted very badly, but never separated or caused me a safety concern.

I had the AS3 on my old Accord Sport. Outside of grip, I didn't really care for them (loud, rough, but it was on an already sort of loud Honda), and the OG DWS on my old Si. Those were OK.

Just swapped out the 22” contisport 6s on my 2023 Model X Plaid for Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s and they ride noticeably harsher but most importantly they are damn noisy in comparison.
