Tires MICHELIN or OEM Toyota

I just paid $988 USD for Michelin X-Ice, mount and balance. They're great snow tires. I had them on my '15 Legacy last winter in Northeastern US, so lots of snow, mix, ice, etc.

2 years ago I got Michelin X-ice 3’s (in a 17”) on my car, steelies from Costco, installed, and TPMS sensors for right about 1100 bucks (in the GTA).

I spent a good deal of time researching and went with the Michelin Defender LTX m/s tires to replace them. Expensive but fairly meaty, good ride quality and cornering, great in the rain, can't speak for snow. Expesive but worth it so far.

The Michelin s have tough carcases compared to other Chinese shity tires. Anyway, I would definitly recommend you install a known brand. I started with cheap tires but switched fast to Michelin s.

Micheline's are worth the expense, had cheap ones and I was like Bambi on ice, they could save your life,don't scrimp

America's Tire gave me 40% off a new set, so I opted for the CrossClimate+, which cost me $524 out the door.

Drove about 10 miles on them after pickup and it’s night/day difference from the MXM4s that it came with. They seemed quieter although I didn’t get on the highway. Handling is like a different car. Not that it wasn’t good before, but it’s easy to see why everyone raves about these tires.

I bought Michelin X-Ice the year Consumer Reports rated them highest for winter passenger car tires. I got 4 of them. They were right around $1,000.00 for the set. I have great traction with them on winter roads but to be honest, I never tried driving on snow packed freeways with the all season tires. I got the winter tires the first time it snowed on the highways.

Installed my BEC Golf R headlights with the Morimoto HID kit...Also sourced some OEM Alltrack Canyons, and installed them with new Michelin Pilot Sport AS3s in OEM sizes. The difference in ride quality is stark, with the Michelins soaking up road imperfections much better than the OEM Falkens.

I had them on my Previous two cars (Acura TL, BMW 328xi coupe) and they were great. However, they wore pretty quickly and in my opinion weren't worth the $900 I spent on them.
