Tires MICHELIN or Falken

The Michelin X-Ice Snow isn’t quite as aggressive in deep stuff, but it’s way more consistent over the years, quieter, and usually lasts noticeably longer.

My vote is for Michelin Cross Climate 2 on an all wheel drive in the Suquehanna Valley area.

I just replaced my AT3Ws with a set of AT4Ws (time for new new tires, no other reason) and to be fair neither of them looks very aggressive to me. That being said I absolutely love my Falkens and will probably never run anything else on my TJ.

Best tire I've ever ran is the Falken f-ice studded. I've now bought my 4th or 5th set. Low speed they're all pretty similar but the f ice handles highway speed surface changes with less drama than anything I've ever ran.

This and the Cup 2R are just one lap wonders. They're great if you want to set the best time in a time attack/qualifying event but once they overheat, you lose a lot of grip.

My Legacy is a bit heavier and automatic, for that I went with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires for snow capable year rounders. They're absolutely amazing, not too loud in summer, very capable as a snow tire.

I have an AWD SUV and I'm getting my four Michelin X-Ice's put on Friday. They have saved my butt numerous times out in rural parts of Bucks county and in Philly too.

I live in Brooklyn and purchased the IS350 AWD last year and use the Michelin pilot sport all seasons and I've had no issues.

I had Open Country tires and they were horrible. Currently have falken wildpeak and they aren't amazing but 10x better than open country from my experience.

CC2 perform very well in snow. But they are loud, uncomfortable, and not gas-efficient. When driving, you will feel that your car keeps swaying left and right a lot due to CC2's directional tread.
