Tires MICHELIN or Hankook

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.

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.

My Hankook icept IZ3's are killing the New York weather...

I have these from January 2023 with 40,000 miles and they look almost new.

Idk but the CC2 on my van lasted for 70k miles which was insane

I switched from the factory turanza summer tires to Michelin snow tires and saw my average drop by 0.5. I usually see 2.1-2.5 with snow tires vs 2.9 with summers.

I did get caught out by black ice last week and skidded a bit but then also got caught out in a different place in my mums car which is on Cross Climates, doing about 20mph both times. Both times I luckily got away with it but black ice is black ice, Cross Climates may give a slightly better chance of getting it back after skidding but not enough to be worth it imo.

Blizzaks are way better than xice. I’ve had like 5 sets of blizzaks. Last year I decided to try xice. Regretting that decision everytime it snows.
