Tires MICHELIN or OEM Honda

I’ve been running Michelin X Ice for years. Last car ran them for 4 winters without issue before I sold it.

I have the comfort suspension on my 2023 LR Y and I just changed tires on my Induction 20\u201d. The new tires have made a noticeable improvement so there\u2019s definitely an opportunity to improve ride quality through tire swap alone. Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, 275 /40 R20.

Get a Honda civic and snow tires. They’re reliable, safe, good on gas. I’ve never had a fwd let me down in the winter unless I was driving like a dumbass.

Yup. Michelin Anakee Wild. Gotta stud them yourself but they're 3PMSF

I have Michelin Crossclimate 2's in the winter. On those days, I don't have to worry about the tires running or wearing like shit. I could leave them on year round if I wanted, but they are a little squishy and squirrely. And, while full bore winters they are not, they're 3 peak rated and still pretty damn good. I could swear they don't wear at all either.

I switched over to the Michelin Defender LTX on both vehicles after wearing through original tires and they too have been great in snow.

Personally I went up one tire profile (from 225/50R17 to 235/55R17) and now my Speedo is GPS accurate ± 0.5kmh

I have a 2023 Rogue and absolutely love it. I'm at 24k miles and the only issue I have has been with replacing the tires. The factory installed tires wore out fast. Replaced with Michellin Defender 2s and hope they'll hold up a very long time.

Picked up a new set of Cross Climate 2’s over the weekend. Handling is great, especially in the rain. Aesthetically, I think they look super cool and unique. They have an aggressive look to them.

That being said, I did not do my due diligence beforehand and let the guy at discount t*re give me the run down on them. One thing he failed to mention was the lack of efficiency they bring (not blaming him). In my first couple of drives I noticed my wh/mi to be well over 300 and in one instance on a 5 mile drive it was 395 wh/mi. Crazy! This is in comparison to my average of 252 wh/mi for the last 5k miles I’ve driven. It’s important to note that I like to accelerate fast and have had the heat on due to the cold weather coming in (Chicago native).

I wanted to see how much of a difference it made if I changed my driving habits so for the past 15 miles or so. I turned “chill” mode on and turned off the AC system and have averaged around 210 wh/mi. Nice to know that efficiency is still attainable just a bit sad that I will be losing 30%+ of range when driving how I normally do.

Hoping that with time they will break in and I will see that number go down a bit. I will update the thread as I put more miles on them.

I don't enjoy the lack of lateral traction when wet with these
