Tires MICHELIN or Firestone

Cross Climate 2 are amazing tires especially switching from the Toyo ones. So much quieter and the tires just seem to hug the curves even better.

I just got the Michelin CC2s installed two days ago replacing worn down Nokian WRG2s on my 2011 Toyota Sienna and so far the ride quality is significantly better compared to the Nokians. Heck the road noise that people were mentioning doesn't seem to be a thing on my vehicle. Road noise on the old Nokians was far far more noticeable.

Dealt with the same dilemma, went with the Michelin’s in the same size. Only about 500 miles in with them so I can’t vouch for snow, but they have been phenomenal on-road, in wet weather, and on the light trails/dirt roads I frequent for larping. Definitely a world of difference compared to the stock Dunlops and the KO2s I had on my Jeep, which I hated because they were so heavy and notorious for sliding in anything but dry conditions.

Spent a month driving all over the mountains in Colorado winter with Pilot Alpin PA4s on Enkei Raijin 18”s, multiple snowy passes, zero drama. Excellent grip and stopping power, but also good on dry pavement and firm handling when you need it. 13/10

I run 225/40/18 Michelin XIce3 in my 2018R. I bought OEM 18inch Audi BBS CH wheels from a B7 S4 which fit perfectly.

IMO Michelin LTX M/S Have been the gold standard for SUV/LT highway tires for a long time now. Recently they've been discontinued in favor of the second iteration that just came out.

I also have a set (of the V1 tires) on my 2018 GX460 and they have been flawless.

At the time we replaced ours, the major need was traction in wet and snowy weather as the base tires just sucked in the slightest amount of weather. So we got MICHELIN CrossClimate2 tires and they’ve been great for corners, rain, snow and basically everything the low rolling resistance ev tires sucked at.

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.

The Michelins that came with the 18s and the pro contacts with the 19s were some of the worst handling tires I’ve owned especially in the rain. I’ve never hydroplaned as much as on those tires on any of my previous cars. I wouldn’t want anybody I care about or myself driving on those in the rain. But if it doesn’t rain where you live, they’re pretty nice thanks to the foam.
