Tires MICHELIN or Goodyear

My vote is for Michelin Cross Climate 2 on an all wheel drive in the Suquehanna Valley area.

This and the Cup 2R are just one lap wonders. They're great if you want to set the best time in a time attack/qualifying event but once they overheat, you lose a lot of grip.

My Legacy is a bit heavier and automatic, for that I went with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires for snow capable year rounders. They're absolutely amazing, not too loud in summer, very capable as a snow tire.

I have an AWD SUV and I'm getting my four Michelin X-Ice's put on Friday. They have saved my butt numerous times out in rural parts of Bucks county and in Philly too.

I live in Brooklyn and purchased the IS350 AWD last year and use the Michelin pilot sport all seasons and I've had no issues.

If you only occasionally go off road or encounter mud and snow, and 85% of your miles are pavement, I'd recommend one of the other two. I have run the Wranglers on my XJ, I currently have the KO2 on my WJ and my Excursion. I'd say the Wrangler handles mud slightly better than the KO2, but the KO2 handles rain, ice, and snow better on the road. Basically, the Wrangler will help you get out of a ditch a little easier, but the KO2 will help you stay out of one to begin with.

Im running Michelin MXV3-A 195/60/14 on Bottlecaps and I’m more than happy. As someone said it’s reproduction of an old tire from 80s and 90s so it’s a nice touch as well.

Michelin cross climate 2 if you want long lasting AND to keep the same tires on all year long

I have Michelin CrossClimates2 on **awd**. If we get a surprise early storm they are.....fine. On true ice they can't get up/down a steep driveway. So I'd rather not test them braking on ice either (luckily never had this situation come up).

I can say without a doubt that I will never spend money on another Goodyear tire. I've seen sidewalls bubble within minutes of installation, go flat from a pine cone, and dry rot in months.
