Tires MICHELIN or Maxxis

Yup, I have had X-Ice on two vehicles and they perform(ed) very well.

I have used Michelin Primacy on other Subarus I have had. They have a Michelin Primacy SUV I see online.

The Michelins have always been way quieter in terms of road noise.

I had hakkas studded since 2015 and switched to X-ice this year. Phenomenonal tires. I didn't expect it to be better than hakkas in my experience. Huge difference in traction on dry pavements during winter on highways like Henday which I drive everyday, not to mention, the most quiet winter tired I've used. My next winters will be X-ice again for sure.

They handle great on ice, they cut through deep snow. I didn't skid or slide much, and I didn't get pulled around during lane changes or driving my car across deep ruts.

I had Maxxis winter tires on my Kia. Near impossible to get stuck in deep snow. Wear was really good but just used in the winter. Had them for 7 years with no flats or dry rot. They did tend to wander on the highway though.

I have Michelin Defender2s on my '19. They are great tires. I don't really see any snow, but they do great in the rain. They ride well, are pretty grippy for all-seasons and handle 80mph on the highway with 0 issues.

I just upgraded our Crosstrek Hybrid to Cross Climate 2's - They are good all-season touring tires. The stock Falken tires are... meh, and mine didn't seem to last very long.

It's only been a day, but the CC2's are super responsive and the car is a whole lot quieter.

I have the same vehicle and put Michelin CC2 on it. They're a grip hugging tire and have enjoyed having them on the vehicle. One other tire that I've come across and considering for the future are the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive which was tested and outperformed the CC2 on wet roads. However, the CC2 does have a better tread life and wear rate. Can't go wrong with either.

I live in southern Ontario in Canada and after one winter of driving around mainly in the city I decided that they weren\u2019t enough especially when going up any sort of incline with snow on the ground. I recently got a set of Michelin Ice-X tires and it makes a world of a difference. In the end if there\u2019s anything more than a light dusting on the ground dedicated winters is the way to go. Also for context I drive a FWD Volvo V50. All in all they are great but as someone else said. Jack of all trades, master of none.

I have them and am not happy with them. I expected better. Poor wet handling and when I take a sharp turn they don\u2019t hug the road - lots of road noise too. I will be switching to pilot sport A/S as it doesn\u2019t snow in downtown Toronto a whole lot. I\u2019m not willing to compromise performance/ handling. Very good for commuters and people who drive in snow and don\u2019t want to do the winter switch over.
