Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

I put the CC2s on my Civic Hatchback about 1,500 miles ago, and I have throughly enjoyed them. Last week they got their first taste of snow, and the grip was excellent. Many of the side roads were insanely messy... I didn’t slide once... I love these tires.

I only put ~8k kms / 5000 miles on them, so I can't comment on longevity. But I drove them through snow, sleet and heavy rain (winter tires), and up to 125mph on the German Autobahn, and they were just fine.

Got a set of 16 steelies with Michelin Ice-X's for my 2014. Have worked pretty well so far and I got at a good deal with Discount Tire.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is the go to summer tire for many.

I have Bridgestone blizzaks on my Tacoma and on my ae86 in 14s. Haven't driven the 86 yet but I fucking love them on my truck.

Michelin X-Ice was my go to for my 14’s on my AW.

Have dws06 on our s4. Great tire so far. Comfortable and quiet compared to the Michelin as4 they replaced

I got Michelin Defender 225/65R16 and they are great tires. Got them at discount tire and they are not cheap, but worth it IMO

I’ve driven a wide variety of winter tires. Bridgestone, GoodYear, Firestone, Cooper, Michelin, Continental, and one or two others. Some were quieter, some were better on ice, some were better in deep snow. None were terrible. If you go with major brand names, that are not much over 5 years old, you should be ok.

The ecopias are garbage.
