Tires MICHELIN or RIKEN

update: got the michelins and Im happy with my purchase, feels a little slippy on turns but I have mostly all control unless I go faster than usual.

Easy answer: Costco membership + Michelin Cross Climates. Exceptional tires, you’ll notice them on a lot of vehicles once you know what to look for.

I drive on Michelin pilot sport 4 or 4s for summer and these are superb tires.

I wanted to report on the cross Climate michelin tires. My wife and I just put a set I'm her GMC Acadia 4 wheel 2 wheel and all wheel drive. we live in Michigan  and i have to say they are by far the best tires I've ever tested in the snow.

I had the old x Ice 3 then now have the x Ice snow. For sure you maybe pay a bit for name brand but so far I really like them Quieter, seems to me better in the deeper snow then the older ones too

I have the cross climate 2 and they are fantastic for light snow and ice.

I have Michelin CrossClimate and Maxxis Premitra, been happy with both, maybe slight edge to the Michelin.

Michelin cross climate 2. Not a snow tire but rather “all weather.” Great handling in dry, wet and snow. My first set I got about 60K on and I only replaced them this fall because its ability in the snow was fading towards the end (which is normal).

I’ve got the defenders. They get loud over 60 too.

The sidewall split on one of the Michelin Primacy MXM4 on our 2021 Model 3 at about 12000km (only 7450 miles) so those Michelin Primacy MXM4s are not that great it seems.
