Tires MICHELIN or DEXTER

They are fantastic tires year round.

They do wear a bit faster but now where near as fast as a dedicated snow

They perform much much better than all seasons in snow.

I run CC2s on my Subaru year around. They are just awesome tires wet or dry or snowy icy crap.

CC2s are fantastic all seasons that are mountain rated snow tires. They wear slightly faster than other all seasons in their class but with 9/10 all year performance. I run all seasons all year long on an old Impreza and it manages perfectly fine.

Just put the Ice X's back on yesterday for their 2nd winter after going with them from this thread. Very pleased w/ their performance and wear so far.

My Countryman has Michelin X-Ice tires in winter.

I had a set of four Michelin Defender all season tires on my SUV and had them for 6 years before having to get new tires and I will sadly admit that I neglected to rotate them for the last 4 years and they lasted through snow rain summer I drive about 1200 maybe 1300 miles a month I highly recommend Michelin tires to anybody for anything truck car motorcycle you get what you pay for

I had a set on my civic before I sold it and honestly they were great. I felt confident cornering with them and they very rarely chirped because they had such good grip!

Get the michelins. Best tire. Smooth, quiet, long lasting, great warrenty, great in rain & snow.

The Pilot Sport Cup 2's had great grip but are VERY expensive and had a strong tendency to tramline - do not reccommend for the street unless you track the car. The Pilot Sport 4s have better manners on the street in the OEM sizes (305/30R19 & 315/30R19) and are less expensive than the Cup 2's.

Wasn't my experience at all. About six months ago I replaced the OEM Geolanders on my 2018 Crosstrek with CrossClimate 2 tires. By the time drove 15 minutes home I knew that there I didn't like what I was experiencing with the CrossClimates. They were noisier, jittery, mushy and didn't track like the Geolanders. I wrote it off as being new. They did an alignment and wheel balance during installation. I am not an aggressive driver but the interstate on ramp that I use all the time I could enter at 50mph and stay at 50. I had to brake use the Michelins. Also I lost 3 mpg compared to the Geolanders.
