Tires MICHELIN or FULDA

I just bought the Michelin CrossClimate2 tires for my ‘21 ID.4 and I really like them. They ride quiet and smooth. The car handles better and I couldn’t be happier.

Canada here; I run Michelin Pilot Alpin winters on my Clubman JCW, but only the one set of rims because steel wheels won’t fit over my larger brakes and I’m too cheap to buy another set of “proper” rims.

Here in northeast WI we upgraded from the OEM Yokohama Avid GTs (on the Prime XSE) to the all-weather Cross Climate 2s by Michelin, best upgrade yet. Smoother and quieter ride, plus much better grip in snow and ice. Purchased these tires after much research, highly recommend.

Got Michelin Crossclimate2 tires around 19k miles. The ride is smoother and feels like I’m locked into the road. Speed bumps, pot holes, and such feel way smoother to ride over.

I replaced the stock Yokohama Geolanders with Michelin Defender T+H after 3k miles. The change was quite drastic in noise-reduction and the Defenders performed a lot better too. It absorbed bumps a lot better and handles really well in both wet and snow

Replaced stock toyos after about 6k miles on my ‘22 with Michelin CC2s.

Subjectively quieter, softer ride, and performs better in snow/wet.

I'm happy with my Michelin cross climate. In Minneapolis. They're okay in the snow. Good in wet and dry.

Swapped my hankooks for the defenders last year.

Best tire hands down is the defender. It’s quiet, grippy, wears well. Won’t buy anything else for the summer seasons (run dedicated winters).

I got 22k miles out of the Michelins of which 5k were unsafe due to bad wet traction. I am 40k miles into the replacements and they are still going strong.

On a subject unrelated to load ratings, the Michelin HX MXM4 are, well, to be brutally honest - they are total rubbish. Expect to have borderline dangerous hydroplaning performance when the tires get to 6/32nds and less. Wet traction will be very poor when the tires get below 4/32nds or so.
