Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

I live in buffalo area we just were hit with 2 feet of snow the past two days. I put dedicated 20inch wheels and Michelin x ice tires on it instead of the 22” stock wheels and Michelin all seasons. It’s the most planted feeling I’ve had in a vehicle in the winter. I love how well the defrost works too. I’m start a new post tho for what is the most overkill windshields wipers available for the ix. I need them.

I put on a set of Michelin x-ice and went down to 20” rims from the stock 21’s. Handles great, very little sliding, good grip and I was surprised how quiet the tires are for full snows.

I have used the Bridgestone Turanza Allseason 6 on a Mazda CX5 2.5 AWD for 2 years and 20.000 km. They are excellent during summer heat and torrential rain on highways and I have yet to fond any issue with them on ice and snow, although the latter was limited. They are still at 7 mm tread.

I have these from January 2023 with 40,000 miles and they look almost new.

I recently put the Bridgestones on my Mazda6 and they feel great in cold and wet weather, quite good in snow for all seasons too, but I haven’t had a chance to try them in proper European summer heat. My previous car had cc2 that were excellent in the snow, average on wet, and quite bad for my liking on summer drives. They just felt soft and flexi above 30c.

Idk but the CC2 on my van lasted for 70k miles which was insane

CC2. Sharper handling than the stock ProContact TX and superior in bad weather (standing rain water and snow.)

Lots of snow here in WI this winter so far. My hybrid with CC2s (with 30k on them) has been a champ

Prima iarna cu all season pentru mine, e ok, patineaza putin masina pe zapada, dar era la fel si cu alea de iarna. \nMichelin Crossclimate 2 daca conteaza.

I have Michelin soft rubber winter tires. I have zero traction on the ice.
