Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

If you don't mind dropping some coin on tires you can put Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 on your CX-90. There will be minimal road noise aside from what you get from 21" wheels.

Been running on Michelin CrossClimates for the last few years...VERY happy. Quiet, good grip in any conditions (including northern Michigan winters)

Yup, I have had X-Ice on two vehicles and they perform(ed) very well.

I have used Michelin Primacy on other Subarus I have had. They have a Michelin Primacy SUV I see online.

The Michelins have always been way quieter in terms of road noise.

I had hakkas studded since 2015 and switched to X-ice this year. Phenomenonal tires. I didn't expect it to be better than hakkas in my experience. Huge difference in traction on dry pavements during winter on highways like Henday which I drive everyday, not to mention, the most quiet winter tired I've used. My next winters will be X-ice again for sure.

They handle great on ice, they cut through deep snow. I didn't skid or slide much, and I didn't get pulled around during lane changes or driving my car across deep ruts.

I have Michelin Defender2s on my '19. They are great tires. I don't really see any snow, but they do great in the rain. They ride well, are pretty grippy for all-seasons and handle 80mph on the highway with 0 issues.

my experience is that summer tyres provide _significantly_ more grip in the wet than CC2s. If you get ice and snow, CC2s are great, but they're not very good in the wet.

They're also not particularly quiet. I put them on my XC90 and found them to be very droney at anything over 50mph.

Right now I have Pirelli P Zero / P Zero Nero in 245/40/18 on the stock wheels. I feel the car isn’t very precise in corners — probably because the sidewalls are too soft.

I'm ready to move on from my screaming Pirellis.
