Tires MICHELIN or Falken

I got exact same tires as yours, Michelin Defender LTX 275/65R18 at Costco two years ago, about $1200. Pricy but nice tires.

Michelin Cross Climate 2 are great in the rain/wet. Very happy with them.

Depuis des années je ne mets que des Crossclimate sur mes 2 voitures, les meilleurs pneus que j'ai jamais eu et de loin, excellents sur le sec comme sur le mouillé, et d'après les essais et vidéos que j'ai vu, excellents aussi sur la neige

The CC2 is money. Great in everything I’ve thrown at it including significant snow. I’ve run them on both of our cars. The only semi negative I’ve encountered is they can’t be rotated in the typical method.

We got a 24' CT Sport. Came with Falken Z1E ZE001A A/S tires. They are great in the summer but didn't like them for the winter. So we got the Falken Wild Peak AT tires. So far they are great.

Just picked up practically new Michelin CrossClimate2 for our 328i Gran Turismo, probably the last set of tires I'll buy for that car, which has been great.

I have experience with these tires. I have them on my 2017 mercedes c300 currently in nh. we get a lot of snow and ice and snow rain mix, and they work great for that! this is my 2nd winter with them. I will say this. in dry weather, they do give a little glide while driving. as in you notice you have a different traction tire on made for snow. it makes it not as smooth of a drive. especially for my model car. I have used them for 11k miles, and the tread is still 85%. since having these, I haven't got stuck once, and in the worst of the worst, I drove on highway and was able to drive safely in my lane without sliding, doing about 48mph on the highway. we just had 6 storms with over 3 inches each storm, in the last 2 weeks, and I was good to go in all of them. worth every bit of what I paid. they are best suited for heavy snow and ice and help break up the ice underneath you as you drive. if you live where you get a lit of snow ❄️, I would highly recommend them. hope this helps. stay safe.

I'll say that I used to insist on Continentals on my VWs, but when they weren't available for my former Touareg, the Michelin Cross Climate 2 was highly recommended and I felt I was settling, but took them as they were what was available. Then I found that there was magic about those tires! In all my life I had never driven a vehicle that performed as my Touareg did with those Cross Climates. I even had a long time VW friend drive it and he said that it felt as if the Touareg was floating down the highway. The tires were perfectly quiet

Ours wore out at 21k miles, handled okay in about 1-2 ft of snow and are awfully slick in rain. We put on Michelin cross climate 2s and have been on those for the last 4k miles and they have been great

Falken Wildpeaks are the worst A/Ts I've run. Hard as hell and sketchy in the rain. I only had 20k ish miles before I sold them, but they were progressively getting louder.
