Tires MICHELIN or Cooper

My wife had Costco install the CC2 on our ‘20, which is her daily driver. They’ve been excellent in the Minnesota winter and quiet over their first 7500 miles. I was concerned about the traction before we got them, but they are good in the snow and ice.

I currently have Michelin Primacy 4 tires under my Mini Cooper 116hp, and they're very nice, although not that brilliant in wet weather.

I recently got Michelin crossclimate 2’s and really like them. Smoother ride and handle snow well.

Incredible in the snow and quiet on the road, even at highway speeds. Smoothed out the ride too.

They are VERY nice tires.

I got some Michelin S1’s and they was a huge improvement to my grip and stability!

Little late to this thread. But my wife had Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires on her Ford Explorer when she bought it new. They are a high mileage compound tire. And she got every bit of 75,000 miles out of them over 5 years. No major or noticeable loss of grip, did fairly well in the rain, even at the end.

Ditch the Geolanders and get Michelin CrossClimate2 tires.

I had the AS3+ on my MK7 and loved them. Car handled like it was on rails. The snow performance was not amazing. I just replaced them with the new AS4 and the turn in and handling doesn’t feel as crisp. It’s more mushy than the old version.

Stay away from American made tires, it might sound crazy to hear but it's true. Michelin, Goodyear, MasterCraft, Cooper, they aren't worth the hassle the compound is much too soft.
