Tires MICHELIN or NITTO

I chose to go with the Michelin Cross Climate 2s, which are all seasons with the M+S and the snowflake. I drive a VW Atlas SUV and so far these tires have been very impressive in the snow.

Only change I have made is putting on Michelin Pilot 4 all weather tires 235/40/19s on the stock wheels. A little more sidewall for a better ride and no problem with rubbing. My only gripe is the turbo lag but once it kicks in it does just fine.

Dude, I have had these on my 2019 4Runner and put about 40k miles on them. Drove all over and in all conditions. I drove in the snow storm that kicked Indianapolis into -17 degree weather last January and put like 6” of snow in Northern Alabama. When I was driving south on I65 just entering the north side of Bowling Green, the snow was coming down the size of golf balls. I never even put the 4Runner in 4wd, keep it in normal drive, had about 4” of snow on the highway all the way to exit 1 outside of Nashville to get in Alabama and the roads were NOT plowed, the speedometer never went below 65-70 the whole way. I NEVER lost traction with my 285/70r17 Ridge Grapplers. Never slipped, slid, nothing.

These are quieter on the road, but that could be the more luxury cab interior. I don't feel or hear vibrations like I always did in my brother's 4x4s back in the day. They seem like a decent overall tire. They handled mud okay, and don't track up the grass on my properties, and did okay on some snow and ice recently.

I have Nitto Nomad Grapplers (similar to Falken Wildpeak) on my 2017 FXT Touring, and have Michelin CC on my wife’s Lexus RX, and given your situation I’d say the Michelin CC would do the trick and be a more comfortable drive with better MPG.

I love my CC2s, got them in December and have had them on my wife’s MDX for 3 years. The wet performance is very impressive.

We put the CC2’s on it’s so much better than the stock. In the north east for the winters and it has been great in the snow this season. Road noise is fine and ride comfort is fine, but noticeably better in all aspects

Michelin—always worth the $$…keeps braking/traction through wear pattern better than any other tire

I have the Pilot Sports now and the most annoying thing is they get small flat spots in just 8hrs of being parked overnight or at work. They work themselves back out after a few minutes of driving but it’s something I’ve never felt with any other tire.

I just replaced Ridge Grapplers on my 2020 Ram 1500. Worst tire I ever had. They were horrible on wet pavement, packed snow and ice.
