Tires MICHELIN or Falken

Fallen wildpeak trail at. Great tires. 3 peak snow rated. Fabulous tires. Took a couple mpg hit over previous tires.

I am running Falken winter tires, they are SWEET.

My wife’s CX-5 has these tires and I can definitely vouch that they look awesome, handle snow very well, and do great “off-road.” Miles better than the stock tires.

I had the Cross Climates on my last car. They were mounted Feb 2021. The Cross Climates came out in 2015 as a summer tire with winter capabilities. They were pretty good. I liked how they handled when I went through a huge deep long puddle/water build up on the highway. My car wasnt pulled to the left if the water was on the left for example. They handled pretty decently in the snow. While driving over slush or ice on the highway I felt the car was secure and planted. Although I did feel some slipping at times but recovered because of their grip right away. I think they handled better than the Michelin Sport All season tires I had on my BMW. As for summer handling I thought they were great. They did feel a bit slower or clunky going into fast corners but they gripped well.

When my OEMs are gone I have always bgt Michelins and been very pleased. If I get 40-50K miles on a tire I'm happy.

Running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's -225/45 r17. Over a year on them in pothole Ohio. No problems whatsoever, Even with hitting the odd pothole directly.

Just switched from the DWS to the MPSAS4 and the Michelin is by far the more performance oriented all season tire.

Oh then 1000% get Michelin pilot sport a/s 3+ not even a debate. They ARE sports car tires, handling is off the chain, they have stupid long mileage warranty, they are phenomenal in the rain, and they are fantastic in light snow (say 3" or less) and light ice. But they are definitely dead silent.

This is typical of a 4 year old Michelin though..

I have the Falkens and with 35K on the car they are done...I would add that half of that mileage was with the winter tires on the car.
