Tires MICHELIN or Goodyear

The CC2 is a solid choice if you get snow and want something that works year round. I don’t think you will notice a difference in ride quality between SL and XL. Note the CC2 can have a bit of road noise

Slap on some Michelin ice and you'll be plowing through / leaving everyone in the dust.

I’ve got a ‘19 SE that I put Michelin cross climate 2’s on. That combined with driving in low gear on snow-covered roads has done well for me so far.

Michellin. X and my 2015 Jetta I have 0 issues driving in snow ice condition. The feedback from the car give me the feeling of the road and makes me anticipate my Next Movement

I live in buffalo area we just were hit with 2 feet of snow the past two days. I put dedicated 20inch wheels and Michelin x ice tires on it instead of the 22” stock wheels and Michelin all seasons. It’s the most planted feeling I’ve had in a vehicle in the winter. I love how well the defrost works too. I’m start a new post tho for what is the most overkill windshields wipers available for the ix. I need them.

The iX does really well in the snow. No skidding at all on the Goodyear All-Seasons. I do feel vibration when going over 50 mph on the highway, and a google search said that it’s because of snow stuck in the wheels. I definitely have snow in there so hopefully it will improve once it melts.

I put on a set of Michelin x-ice and went down to 20” rims from the stock 21’s. Handles great, very little sliding, good grip and I was surprised how quiet the tires are for full snows.

After running these tires for 50k miles and to their untimely demise, I didn’t think they were particularly special. I don’t think they handled very sharp, they don’t seem super “sticky”, and tread life is pretty average. Even in snow I don’t feel like they’re that much better than an average all season.

I have Michelin soft rubber winter tires. I have zero traction on the ice.

I put Michelin Pilot AS4s on my Subaru WRX in about Nov 2022. They were great for that winter. Since they're "ultra high performance all-weather" tires, I just planned on running them year-round. Come next winter, though - they were legit dangerous.
