Tires MICHELIN or DUNLOP

I have been using the Michelin Cross Climate 3 for a few weeks in eastern Europe, Romania. So far I have used it in 10 cm deep snow, compacted snow, wet roads, inclines +10%, in a temperature range from -18 to +3 Celsius and have had zero issues so far.

I have no complaints with my Pilot Alpin 5’s. Two seasons.

Am facut uber o perioada. Am avut in acea perioada Crossclimate 2 care au dus onorabil orice drum pt 50.000km. Cand m-am hotarat sa le schimb am zis sa incerc si Nokian Seasonproof. Nu exista efectiv comparatie. Nokianurile noi erau mai slabe decat Michelinurile vechi si uzate la toate tipurile de drum. Michelin de acum\u2026 nu mai fac experimente.

Michelin does have all season Pilot Sport tires. I have these on my A4 Quattro and they are amazing, as were the previous versions I had before. I had plenty of tread on the previous tires with 35k miles, but they were replaced because of a hole in a sidewall. The grip is excellent in dry, rain, and cold weather and they have little road noise.

I just had mine upgraded from OE to Michelin Crossclimate2 with the $80 Michelin discount. So far so good.

Another option is to run four-season tires like the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Those are not as good as dedicated winters, but do have the mountain/snowflake symbol and can be left on year 'round. My daughter in AA takes that approach and seems happy with the compromise.

I like the performance of mine so far, but be careful and get them from a real shop. I had mine put on by Costco and they completely messed up the balancing twice in a row. Finally got it "fixed" but it still rides noticeably rougher than the OEM Bridgestone's my CX-30 came with originally.

Will just note my experience as it's been about 1-2k miles: To me, on the road new they are slightly slippery. Can't explain it but I personally don't mind it. This was in 40-50 degree temps before it dropped. Was breezing at 80+ weeks later taking the interstate from one side of PA to the other. 28-35 degrees out. They seem to ride better colder. And lastly, from prior reviews, you will lose about 2 mpg from the tires.

I won\u2019t buy X-Ice anymore, both myself and my friend had a sidewall blow out on them.

I've been selling tires for two decades and I've never driven on a set of X-Ice tires I've liked. Continental Viking Contact 7 & 8's are great, as well as Bridgestone Blizzaks, have always performed better in my opinion.
