Tires MICHELIN or Laufenn

I’ve got CC2 on my wife’s MDX and Cooper Discoverer RT’s on my Ram 1500. I feel very confident driving both in any conditions

I got exact same tires as yours, Michelin Defender LTX 275/65R18 at Costco two years ago, about $1200. Pricy but nice tires.

Michelin Cross Climate 2 are great in the rain/wet. Very happy with them.

Depuis des années je ne mets que des Crossclimate sur mes 2 voitures, les meilleurs pneus que j'ai jamais eu et de loin, excellents sur le sec comme sur le mouillé, et d'après les essais et vidéos que j'ai vu, excellents aussi sur la neige

The CC2 is money. Great in everything I’ve thrown at it including significant snow. I’ve run them on both of our cars. The only semi negative I’ve encountered is they can’t be rotated in the typical method.

Just picked up practically new Michelin CrossClimate2 for our 328i Gran Turismo, probably the last set of tires I'll buy for that car, which has been great.

I'll say that I used to insist on Continentals on my VWs, but when they weren't available for my former Touareg, the Michelin Cross Climate 2 was highly recommended and I felt I was settling, but took them as they were what was available. Then I found that there was magic about those tires! In all my life I had never driven a vehicle that performed as my Touareg did with those Cross Climates. I even had a long time VW friend drive it and he said that it felt as if the Touareg was floating down the highway. The tires were perfectly quiet

We have Michelin XIce 3’s on our QX50. No issues climbing Mariner St, Johnson St or David

My winters aren't too different, and I've had or have all of them: Pilot Alpin, X-Ice Snow, and CC2 (all North American versions). The CC2 were just too floppy and imprecise for me, and that's on a modified daily driver crossover. On a 986 the steering and handling response would be damaged noticeably over Pilot Alpins imo. If you're a fan of feel (and likely traction overall, honestly), get the UHP winters. They're by far my category of choice because of the sporty feel they maintain on performance cars.

had these in my previous car, only good when new. after that they were very average
