Tires MICHELIN or Firestone

R1T, but I replaced mine with Michelin Defenders at 17k miles

I’ve driven on the cross climate 2s and they’re great. Michigan winters were a breeze, never slid once

They are fantastic tires year round.

They do wear a bit faster but now where near as fast as a dedicated snow

They perform much much better than all seasons in snow.

I run CC2s on my Subaru year around. They are just awesome tires wet or dry or snowy icy crap.

CC2s are fantastic all seasons that are mountain rated snow tires. They wear slightly faster than other all seasons in their class but with 9/10 all year performance. I run all seasons all year long on an old Impreza and it manages perfectly fine.

Just put the Ice X's back on yesterday for their 2nd winter after going with them from this thread. Very pleased w/ their performance and wear so far.

2013 cooper s bought new. Came with conti all season runflats, couldn't put down power. No grip. Harsh.

Not a month later went to Michelin A/S pilot sport all-seasons.. better, but still couldn't mash the gas coming out of a corner.

5 years later went to the ones I still run today, the Firestone Indy 500. Posh ride, great grip, and I can put full power in 2nd coming out of a corner. Behaves identical to the Yokohama S.Drives I used to have on my Rx-8. Where I live it doesn't even get down to 45\*F so I don't worry about all-seasons anymore. These do magnificent in the wet, too.

My Countryman has Michelin X-Ice tires in winter.

Have those on the wife’s 2017 Accord Hybrid. They are great in the rain and snow as you said, but at least on her car they are super noisy. Unsure if we just haven’t rotated them enough maybe?

Firestone sucked for the majority of the season. Not only have their hard/soft offerings missed the mark, but they are now completely willing to show up with indestructible tires which are totally unsuitable for modern competition.
