Tires MICHELIN or GISLAVED

I'm a fan of nokian (hakkas, and also Nordman North), but I've also used Goodyear (ultra grip), Firestone (Winter fire/Winter Force), Bridgestone (blizzak), and most recently Michelin (x-ice snow, made in Canada - elbows up!), and they've all been excellent.

My current one is an 18 with Michelin cross climate 2s on it. I have to intentionally make it slide in order for it to happen. I think there has been one instance that was not intentional.

Got them on my model 3 (2020) and changed my Michelin pilot sport 4. Great grip but ooh wow what an extra road ( humming) sound. That\u2019s the only con I experience.

I have Michelin cross climate on plaid and I drive like a lunatic currently at 38k miles and i think I have 10kish more miles left i think.

But in your size the Michelin CrossClimate2 would be my pick.

I have a Chrysler Pacifica and the factory tires on that were pretty awful in the snow and ice. When it was time to replace them I went with the Michelin Crossclimate 2. It was done in early January so could easily compare to the old tires and there was a significant improvement.

Been driving in Canadian winters with X-Ice\u2019s for the past 3 winters and have never had any issues. Always feel safe on the road with them, and I\u2019ve had to drive through blizzards several times.

On a separate note I don't notice much difference between Michelin and Pirelli in the dry, but in the wet gimme' my Michelin's any day.

I have these on my Q5 and while I like them and they are grippy, I don’t notice any difference in road noise from the stock tires.

I'm not very impressed with 19" Michelin Ice-Xs on my YP compared to Blizzaks that I used to run on my WRX, but I think it's more to do with Tesla's 60/40 AWD v Subaru's symmetrical 50/50 AWD.
