Tires MICHELIN or Goodyear

Crossclimate2 tires are really really good.

They're wild since they not only have superb snow traction, the dry traction actually is close to summer touring tire levels of grip.

The trade-off is rain. Still above average.

The most wild thing is I installed mine at 27,000 miles 3 years ago. I'm at 77,000 miles (50k on the tires) and Costco told me they measured at 5/32.

That means I'll get 70k miles out of these tires. Way past the 50k warranty.

I have a Model 3 Performance and I drive it like I stole it, these tires hold up to abuse.

I picked up some 18” Aeros and threw some 235/55/18 104V Michelin CrossClimate2 tires on them. It’s preeeeeetty good. Haha came from the stock 19” Aeros (I think they’re tempest?) on the stock Continental tires.

-Efficiency is nearly identical, got 265wh/mi cruising the highway at roughly 75mph.

-Ride is actually STIFFER. Totally shocked me haha

-Sound is identically quiet/loud, except at low speeds around 10mph where you can hear the tread pattern howl

-Picked up all the benefits that come with the CC2

I've been very happy with my Michelin CC2s. Pretty quiet in the summer and good so far with last week's snow.

I swap my tires for Michelin X-ICE. I keep chains in my cargo box but have never needed them.

I've been using them in the last 3 seasons. Michelin cross climate 2. They wear out bit faster but those tires doing great. No slipping, good control during snowfall. No problem on sludge roads but a bit weak on ice.

Look at Michelin cross climate 2. Will still qualify for your winter tire discount on your insurance, but not annoying having to swap and store tires twice a year. They perform absolutely fine in the winter snow and slush. Tread life and noise are excellent on the cross climate 2s. I've driven in serious snow and they perform extremely well.

The tires are good, BTW. I had them on my old car and was going in circles around others who apparently cheaped out on their tires. Like, had to help get a 4WD pick-up truck out of a ditch at one point.

If you have to buy tires for your car, most Michelin tires are made in Canada. Just bought some snow tires for the car and went for the Michelin X-Ice.

I’ve had wranglers before. They’re essentially a road tire beefed up to look like an offroad tire. Fine for daily driving and gravel roads. Weak sidewalls from what I remember.

I’m on the defenders and I hate the road noise when it rains. It makes a shepherd’s tone when I accelerate.
