Tires MICHELIN or Cooper

I drive a 2004 volvo XC70, that sees a lot of dirt, mud, back roads and sometimes even snow. Michelin cross climate 2s on that thing no matter what... Those tires are just plain amazing on anything all wheel drive that encounters a lot of sloppy shit.

Michelin Defenders best tire on the market don\u2019t care what anyone says

Put some michellins on and the problem went away

If you drive much to snowy areas, Michelin Crossclimate2 is the way to go. They are the best in snow short of dedicated snow tires. They are somewhat quieter than the OEM and the Continental Crosscontact tires I had before.

Just got Michelin Defenders for 800 installed and the difference from the OEM Primacy tires is huge. Much quieter.

Michelin Alpin PA4 here

I have driven my previous car on the CC2, and I couldn't recommend them enough. The weather conditions we get here are exactly like yours, with the roads mostly pretty bad, and I never had any issues. Durable tires, driven on them for about 3 years, and covered around 30k km on them, and had plenty of thread left (sorry, don't know exactly how much). The guy that bought the car from me is still using them. Great in dry and rain, and very confident in snow. Quiet too.

I have CC2 and they are exceptional pretty much in all conditions. They struggle in hot weather, especially braking and they sometimes spin.

I replaced my stock tires with Michelin Defender 2’s. They seem pretty good so far (in Eastern Canada).

I found those didnt wear well at all also noisy
