Tires MICHELIN or FEDERAL

I went down a size to 17 inch and got the Michelin x ice snow. I believe these and the blizzak ws90 are the top rated so get whatever is the cheaper option or has stock.

I had x ice on my accord and they were solid with great tread life.

I had the road control 2 all seasons on my cx5 and was averaging 27-28 mpg. I put the defender 2 on, averaging 30-32 mpg now. Check it at the pump to compare with the computer and the vehicle was off 0.5 mpg.

We opted to buy the oem Michelin tires. Costco sells the oem tire at a good price. Figured no reason to change what isn’t broken

Anyone put crossclimates on theirs? I can't stand the way they look, but they're great tires by all accounts. And michelin gives you free roadside assistance when you buy a set, so I don't have to buy CAA (AAA down south).

I bought enkei 17s and Michelin x ice for winter. It was a lot easier to get tires and also doubles as a good rim for cheap track tires also if you want as 215 17s are pretty common

as a owner of the CrossClimate2s in NEvl Wisconsin, the supreme snow traction they provide in the winter is top notch, even on par with the best winter tires (winter tires do provide better ice traction). While we do see an efficiency impact of about 5%, it's totally worth the benefits they provide in the winter.

They're very good tyres. Bit noisy on the corners, but very good.

I switched from Road 4 to Road 6. I used both tires for around 2 years and 25,000 km, and went back to Road 4 (I wasn’t looking for Road 4, it was in stock and around %30 cheaper). In my experience, the cold grip on Road 4 is much better, and even after they heat up, Road 4 still feels like it has better grip. Additionally, I noticed that the bike pulled slightly to the left with Road 6.

I personally didn't like Michelin tires when I was a tire technician, but I won't discount their strengths. The biggest problem with Michelin tires is dry rot, I don't recommend them if the car sits for long periods outside.
