Tires MICHELIN or OEM Toyota

I purchased 3 year old Michelin Artic Alpine tires for my 2016 Nissan Rogue for $400 on Nissan rims with tire pressure sensors. Retail prob $1500.00. Winter tires are smart and nessasary for safe driving in Manitoba.

I had an AWD Charger as a company vehicle for a couple of years and it had been equipped with a newly released All-Weather tire that Michelin had come up with (utilizes sunflowers in the make up). They were really impressive all the way down to -5*F.

Still got those tires, no issues.

I usually just buy the relevant Michelin, and it costs more, but they feel good for a long time.

Go with Michelin CrossClimate2. They are excellent winter and excellent summers. I didn't think it was possible, but they are great tires. In the winter they are as good as any great winter only tire. I have them on my Santa Fe.

A 3PMS All-Weather tire like the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is doable. Tires like the Michelin CrossClimate 2s reach the ISO standard to be deemed a winter tire by every regulatory body in North America. They preform as well as a lot of winter tires.

I’ve been running Michelin Defender 2 on my Toyota Camry year round since 2020 and it does very well every single winter with no issues at all. Fully sipped tires do help for grip on snow and ice.

I ran the non EV equivalent Michelin Sport on my Tesla for almost 5 years to the tune of $30 less per tire. The only difference I found compared to EV tires was a strip of foam for sound deadening.

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Seasons on my 22s. They work ok, also a bit noisier. Not 100% in the snow, but get the job done.

I bought a set of Michelins for my F250 several years ago because they were the “best”. The truck had a vibration after the new tires were installed but since they were Michelins I didn’t even think it was a tire issue. All four tires were out of round. ALL FOUR.
