Tires MICHELIN or Cooper

If you get a decent amount of snow, go for cross climate 2. Road noise is a bit higher than others but they are good in snow. I got caught in a nasty storm and they were great.

If you want to stay with the existing 22" wheel setup, I would talk with your favorite tire store about changing to 305/45R22 for the rears. The tire width will decrease from 12.6 to 12.0 and tire height will increase from 32.2 to 32.8, but you will have more options for all-season tires. Specially, the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 is available in both 285/45R22 and 305/45R22 and is a very good tire.

This year got some Michelin cross climates. It is unbelievable.

I mean I really pushed it for fun and it had 0 issues. Great awd.

We have crossclimate2 on our Leaf and they are excellent. Summer driving are a little louder than the oem tires. When our Ariya is ready for tires, they will be a contender.

Cross climates are excellent, had many sets in my accord hybrid, but be prepared for a slight range hit. I haven’t run the pirelli scorpions, but from what other folks say the performance is solid, not cross climate level in the snow, but competent. However, they are quieter overall.

We put cross climates on my wife’s CX-5 here in CO. Like them a lot.

I love my CrossClimate 2. If you are good with the price, not much beats them in performance.

The Cooper road and trail plus are fantastic, I have them on mine.

I had the Cooper at3 4s, they were discontinued when it was time for new tires and allegedly replaced with the road and trail Plus so that's why I got them. At3 4s got me 65,000 miles, mostly highway, some trails, some snow. Wonderful in rain.

Most of my traction issues are probably down to my snow tires( cooper evolution winter) I’ll be switching brands for 2026 winter season. But overall tbh they handle really well.

I have the older E-primacy and they're awful. So stick with the standard version.
