Tires MICHELIN or NITTO

Ok, I was actually glad when my snow tires wore out a year ago, because then I got these awesome tires:

235/65R18 106V Michelin Crossclimate 2 BW

Having driven with both a dedicated snow tire and these they drive exactly the same & I drive in serious blizzards.

88k but my XP came with Nitto’s. Probably could’ve got new ones at 70k but they still had decent tread.

These tires do appear stop well and provide better driving across wet roadways. I don’t get a chance to really drive them on snow where I live. But plenty of chances for Rain. Which is why I bought them.

Michelin Defender LTX. There's a few versions so one should fit your needs. Definitely more pricey but I feel like they're the best tire I've ever owned.

I'm a huge fan of the All Weather Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. Great in all conditions and amazing in snow even on our two wheel drive Mazda.

I just got the Pilot Sport 4s for my 2022 S60. They are AMAZZZINNNNGGG.

I’m getting a set of Michelin Crossclimate 2 on my SAAB in a couple weeks

They’re higher rated in *every* category compared to the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06, which I’ve ran for the last few years.

Recommend Michelin defenders over pilot sport. Got them on my ‘16 XC90 and never looked back

Quiet, comfy, grippy enough for the 90

Ran these for 1.5 years had two flats. Still had good tread depth. One was a rock puncture which I have never had before. On my beater truck so I wheeled the piss out of them. Good in snow, ice, mud and sand. Bad on wet roads imo.

1. Harsh ride- you feel every little bump. 2. Mediocre performance. 3. Pricey. I just swapped these tires out for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on my Beamer. Best investment I made so far this year. No regrets.
