Tires MICHELIN or BFGoodrich

Michelin x ice have been great for me. On my second set.

I have bought these tires twice. They are the best tires I’ve ever owned however, beware they scream on concrete pavement.

Not bad at all. I have them on my Q5. This thing eats through tires and the CC2 have lasted the longest for sure.

Yeah, keep rotating them and keep the alignment good. My BFG KO2s are holding up very well, having 40k miles on them.

I put these on my 2019 Highlander hybrid. 6k miles on them and love the wet and dry handling. I have dedicated blizzak winters but am going to run my cc2 this season as my blizzaks have 36k miles on them. Road trip soon that will include winter snow conditions. I will post how they handle. Also I did notice a 1.5~2 mpg drop in fuel economy.

Michelin CrossClimate2 are amazingly smooth and quiet. And they hardly wear at all. Over 20k on my set and they’ve only worn 1/32nd.

I don’t even live in a snowy environment but they are amazing in heavy rain. 70mph in heavy rain is easily doable

I can tell you the Cross Climate 2s are a fantastic tire - however I mostly stayed on pavement with the occasional gravel / dirt road - nothing with lots of rocks or potholes

I have a pair of Defender 1 and 2s on my 2017. Both great. Defenders will impact your MPG. Around 2-3 in my experience.

The Pilot Sport Cup 2's had great grip but are VERY expensive and had a strong tendency to tramline - do not reccommend for the street unless you track the car. The Pilot Sport 4s have better manners on the street in the OEM sizes (305/30R19 & 315/30R19) and are less expensive than the Cup 2's.

Those Michelins are awful. Horribly off-balance with any amount of wear and only average on snow.
