Tires MICHELIN or FEDERAL

X ICE SNOW, I have them on a Mazda SUV, had several German cars but the X ICE snow is a very good tire. It does wear quickly though.

Aus meiner Erfahrung und der von einigen Bekannten, sind die Michelin Cross Climate 2 absolute top choice. Das Geld ist gut investiert.

My wife has over 50k miles on a set of Michelin CrossClimate2 tires on her Impreza and they still have a good amount of tread on them.

I put new tires on it at 27,000 miles. Michelin all weather and they have worn no different from front to back, side to side. I keep up with rotation and haven’t had any odd wear.

I usually give Nokians the edge, but Michelin X Ice purchased and installed at Costco is probably the easiest overall ownership experience, especially if you have to warranty anything.

We have Michelin X ice, love them.

Seem to have good tread wear and performance

I put a set of Michelin WeatherGuards on our Smart AWD SUV before last winter. The car drove great down steep icy hills when the roads were closed down.

I personally have a set of the x ice snow and cannot complain. I also like how long lasting they are. They are one of the only winter tires with a tread wear warranty (60,000km).

Have firehawks on a C5, PS4 on a C4 GS. Both are fine for street driving. I certainly can push the C4 WAY harder but how hard you drive is a huge factor. The PS4 is also way susceptible to flat spotting if the car sits (mine do)

In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.
