Tires MICHELIN or OEM Toyota

Michelin x-ice are for more roads and packed snow. I have a set of x ice 2 that are great, lots of grip in the winter. Much better stopping on plowed roads, and deeper snow they handle great

I just put Michelin X-Ice Snow tires on my Fit. Haven't had a chance to try them in winter conditions.

Depends on the tires. If he put on Walmart special ling-longs and you put contin or Michelin The difference will be pretty big.

Michelin X-Ice Snows through Costco turned my R56 from a one-wheel-drive potato into a competent winter vehicle, all while still being quiet on the highway like a summer tire.

Cross climates are fantastic. I’ve 20000 miles on mine & only changing soon because well, winter. Still not down to the wear markers and they’ve had a pretty hard time…

You will lose some steering feel and precision, but Michelin tires are so good that I don't really notice much of a grip difference. They should be better in the rain, and they're good in light snow. They will also make the ride more comfortable and a bit quieter. Plus a 40,000 mile tread life on such a high level of performance is insane.

Just put the CrossClimate2’s on my 2024 premium and drove to Toronto and back(just shy of 4 hours one way). Felt like a brand new car….again. Legit changed the drive for the better in every way I had hoped.

It is running on 17x7.5 Mk7 rims, 225/50R17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4, 26.3" diameter. No rubbing. Lowered the pressure to 32psi and it becomes a very supple and plush ride.

The OEM tires on nearly every brand aren’t really good. This is the part where you shop around and find the tires for you. But you can find some really good ones for either amazing grip or maximum comfort.

Personally I don't like Michelin tires due to constant issues I've had with rubber cracking prematurely (long before the expiration date).
