Tires MICHELIN or OEM FORD

Been driving in Canadian winters with X-Ice\u2019s for the past 3 winters and have never had any issues. Always feel safe on the road with them, and I\u2019ve had to drive through blizzards several times.

On a separate note I don't notice much difference between Michelin and Pirelli in the dry, but in the wet gimme' my Michelin's any day.

Recommendation:\n- Michelin Cross Climate 2 with padding. I get them from Discount Tires, I buy their insurance. What you pay upfront is what you get in back end. I have had a few total replacements with no cost.

I found Michelin Road 5s to keep their excellent feel in the wet and the cold. I commuted in under 10 degrees F and through snowstorms on them several times. Obviously slowed way down in the snow, but the tires kept telling me they had more grip if I wanted it.

Very decent snow tires despite not being all-out winters. AMAZING in the rain. Aquaplane resistance is second to none, great straight line grip, pretty good in the corners. My current set is down to about 5/16 and is losing grip like crazy, but that is expected. It took 70k miles to get down to 5/16, by the way.

You could go to an all weather tire like the Michelin Cross Climate 2

Crossclimate 2 on 2016 Civic over 70k miles on them and still good (per Costco, I still have about 15020K miles on them). They are very good on water and ok in snow. HOWEVER they become noisier as they age.

The v730s have significantly more grip and won’t get as greasy and the Michelin.

I have Michelin CrossClimates2 on **awd**. If we get a surprise early storm they are.....fine. On true ice they can't get up/down a steep driveway. So I'd rather not test them braking on ice either (luckily never had this situation come up).

Are they Michelins perchance? The worst effin tires for dry rot, I only bought them once in my life.
