Tires MICHELIN or Firestone

New Michelin ps4s on my rsx type-s. World of difference over the crap it had on.

Went from 28lb OEM wheels --> 18lb aftermarket and OEM Goodyear Eagles to Michelin Pilot Sports, it's a night & day difference.

I have Michelin cross climate tires on my suv and have zero issues in winter conditions. As long as you know your vehicle and drive to the conditions, all weather tires are fine for 90% of driving conditions, even when going to Banff.

They have low rolling resistance according to Discount Tires tests, are light, and still grip well off road

I have Firestone Weathergrip all-weather tires in my escape and they have been just fine driving the past 3 winters in Calgary, with the odd trip out to Banff. I would say they are only questionable once the weather hits -30’s. Other than that they have been comparable to my blizzaks.

I had 2 of the exact same vehicle (Subaru Outback). One had Michelin X-Ice dedicated winter tires and the other had Michelin Cross Climate All Weather tires. Last year, after a fresh snowfall, I took both cars out, drove down the street and took quick turns, braking, starts from stop etc. I then went to an open parking lot and did the same. I didn't notice much difference at all in those types of conditions.

I just got some extra winters Michelin X ice snow 225/65/17 if interested I can give you a bargain, tread is amazing I used another set up my last winters and I’ll never use anything else.

Some all weather tires - like the Michelin CrossClimate2s - can outperform cheap / low tier winter tires.

I just got through 35,000 miles on those tires on my Y. Somewhere around 25,000 miles seemed like the rain performance declined. Good tires overall but boy did they fall off as they aged.

I replaced them 2 years ago with a set of Michelin Primacy Tour A/S. I’ve been pretty unhappy with the Michelins from the time I got them…I think the Yokohamas rode better and were quieter
