Tires MICHELIN or Maxxis

I recently had CC2 tires on Audi Q5 2021. Its huge upgrade compared to OEM Kumho tires. But....I have lost 10% mileage :(( Just came here to tell considering this point whoever is on fence.

Anyways, blizzaks are Canada's most widely sold winter tires, I bought Michelin X-Ice, what you need to realize is that the cheapest winter tire is going to be better than the best summer tire under a certain temperature.

Temps below 40 will ruin your summers. The material they build summers with is different than winters. Below 40, it will crack and literally turn into plastic. I went with the Michelin CC2 because they last a lot longer than pure winter tires with only a tiny bit less traction on ice and snow.

Am Michelin CrossClimate.

Pe 4 mașini.

Cel mai mult am făcut 120.000 km cu ele.

Michelin x-ice are for more roads and packed snow. I have a set of x ice 2 that are great, lots of grip in the winter. Much better stopping on plowed roads, and deeper snow they handle great

I just put Michelin X-Ice Snow tires on my Fit. Haven't had a chance to try them in winter conditions.

Depends on the tires. If he put on Walmart special ling-longs and you put contin or Michelin The difference will be pretty big.

Michelin X-Ice Snows through Costco turned my R56 from a one-wheel-drive potato into a competent winter vehicle, all while still being quiet on the highway like a summer tire.

I am not a fan of ardents. They roll fast but have a habit of loosing grip when you least expect it and suck at regaining grip once they start to slide. I'm running Recons front and back and really like the set up. They roll pretty fast and are usually very predictable.

The Ardent sucks by most accounts. Read this article from [NSMB.com](https://nsmb.com/articles/ask-uncle-dave-talking-tires-maxxis/) where the Maxxis rep basically says the only reason Ardent's are even made anymore is because people recognize the name. Rekon 2.4 is my vote (not a particularly wide 2.4, more like a 2.35). Some have mentioned the Ardent Race, but the Rekon has way better cornering traction than an ardent race, and bigger center knobs than an ardent race for braking traction.
