Tires MICHELIN or RIKEN

Replaced with Michelin at 17K miles. Seems like a trend.

I have the Cross Climate 2 on a 2017 AWD CRV and had them on a 2019 manual Jetta, they’ve been great! Snow, ice, heavy rain, handles everything like a champ! Slight decrease in fuel efficiency however.

R1T, but I replaced mine with Michelin Defenders at 17k miles

I’ve driven on the cross climate 2s and they’re great. Michigan winters were a breeze, never slid once

They are fantastic tires year round.

They do wear a bit faster but now where near as fast as a dedicated snow

They perform much much better than all seasons in snow.

I run CC2s on my Subaru year around. They are just awesome tires wet or dry or snowy icy crap.

CC2s are fantastic all seasons that are mountain rated snow tires. They wear slightly faster than other all seasons in their class but with 9/10 all year performance. I run all seasons all year long on an old Impreza and it manages perfectly fine.

Just put the Ice X's back on yesterday for their 2nd winter after going with them from this thread. Very pleased w/ their performance and wear so far.

My “RíKEN RAPTOR” tires sound pretty… well I think about my driving on cooler temp roads with corners or any moisture.

Wasn't my experience at all. About six months ago I replaced the OEM Geolanders on my 2018 Crosstrek with CrossClimate 2 tires. By the time drove 15 minutes home I knew that there I didn't like what I was experiencing with the CrossClimates. They were noisier, jittery, mushy and didn't track like the Geolanders. I wrote it off as being new. They did an alignment and wheel balance during installation. I am not an aggressive driver but the interstate on ramp that I use all the time I could enter at 50mph and stay at 50. I had to brake use the Michelins. Also I lost 3 mpg compared to the Geolanders.
