Tires MICHELIN or Continental

After all my research I settled on Michelin X ICE Snow SUV. I went with 18" wheels and the ride is smooth, with a slight hum from the winter threads. Overall very quiet.

I’ve had the Michelin CC2’s for about 30k + miles and they still perform amazing in the Snow. Was up around Breck the opening weekend and had no problems.

I'm in the same boat as you are. 2022 AWD and I'm looking at the Michelin crossclimate 2 or the Yokohama yk-ctx.

I’ve ran both the Continentals and Yokohamas. General is owned by continental and make mid tier tires(continental would high tier in this case)

For your tire size, I’d take continental. The DWS06 is an amazing tire and well worth the price. Ran it on my 2017 Focus ST all winter long in the Portland area and they handled great!

Currently have them on my 2006 Acura TSX in south Cali and same thing. Good ride comfort, handling, and grippy around the corners.

Tire upgrade is the single best purchase you can make for this car. Continental DWS 06 tires truly transformed the driving experience.

got the Continental DWS06plus, so far they’ve been exceptional in the wet weather. Also, quieter than the uniroyal tiger paws.

The DWS06 is the second best on the market, but it’s probably not worth 75% more than the best in the budget category (the kumho), especially on a mazda3

The dws06 is one of the best tires on the market.

I ran Michelin Pilot Sport AS4+ on my SQ5 before I sold it. For most CUV, running car all season tires is better and often cheaper solution if you never go off pavement (sand/mud/grass etc)

Never waste money on Michelin tires. Also no point in paying for long lasting tires of any kind if you barely drive. Get less expensive name brand tires and you will be just fine.
