Tires MICHELIN or Nokia

I have been very happy with our Michelin X-Ice for the last 3 winters.

Just replaced them with the Michelin Crosstreads because I want better winter and overall braking performance.

Switched to Michelin CrossClimate2 in the EU squared tire size so we can do rear to front rotations.

Nokian Nordman. They’re last generation Hakka which imo, a ten generation old Hakka is great.

I’d recommend Michelin CrossClimates. They’re quite good in the snow (3 peak rated) and in all weather situations. Quite a breakthrough in tire tech IMO.

Think I'm going to get Michelin Cross-Climates in lieu of dedicated snows this year. Don't get much snow in NoVa, but I've always been happy to have winter tires both in the cold and for the few times it does snow. I've read an awful lot about the Michelins being almost as good as a dedicated winter tire in the snow, so I'll be interested to see how they behave -- they'll almost certainly be good enough for my needs.

I run Hakka r3. My wife runs General Winter Contact and they are about equal, very quiet good studless winter.

I got Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. The responsiveness and grip I got compared to stock is insane, especially if they got a bit less pressure than asked by Mazda.

Michelin Xi3 on my Mustang. I got stuck once in my alleyway because of a really bad ice storm, but otherwise no problems. They are a bit floaty (as winter tires tend to be), but otherwise good dry performance too.

Love them in deeper snow and slushy road but the trade off on dry pavement is HUGE. With the Hakka, my car is dancing all around. I hate that...
