Tires MICHELIN or Hankook

Michelin X-Ice tires on sale at Canadian Tire have one the best value for a quality tire.

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.

The Toyo GSI and Hankook I-Pike are both very good performers at better prices. The cheap Chinese tires might be ok for the first season or so, but they fall off very quickly as they wear.

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.

I regret getting PS5 on mine. The tires are too good and take away much of Miata’s fun factor.

These Michelin Primacy or whatever they are called are bad... Our car is due for new summer tires and they won't be Michelin. Michelin Corp has lost me as a potential customer forever.
