Tires MICHELIN or Shinko

I have Michelin X-Ice/Snow tires and they work great ???????? I live in northern Wisconsin where they rarely plow the roads.

This winter I have Crossclimates on and it is like a completely different car. It just finds grip everywhere.

I like the 300 tw summer street tires, MPS4S and ECS02 when you’re shopping for this in between segment. They’re my daily driver tires and I find them quite fun to autocross and pretty much right next to the non-fast summer tires but you’ll get 20k-30k street miles out of them.

I have Michelin defender ltx m/s2’s on my truck and have been researching tires to put on next. I keep coming back to these. Seem to be best for noise/longevity/quality and have a ton of sipes that make them a good snow tire. I don’t see myself changing up.

I almost purchased those tires. I chose the Michelin CrossClimate2 instead. Mostly bc I was worried about highway mpg.

I'm buying into Michelin (MGDDY) now because the tire and rubber industry took a big hit this year. I don't see rubber or tires going anywhere tho so I think it could be a long term value pick

I just put some Michelin Defender 2 on my car and they have been great in the dry, wet and snow.

I put Michelin Crossclimate 2 on. No regrets, best all weather tires. Better than most summer tires in the summer and same for winter.

The Cross Climate are nosier than my Michelin X-ICE, a dedicated winter tire, and the efficiency is about the same. They are a great "year round" tire but you pay for it in efficiency loss and noise in Spring - Fall.

I had a noise that was resolved with a tie rod. I had to go to their approved shops! First shop tried to charge 5,000$ for all things I didn’t need, they denied everything but a motor mount. Next shop inflated all prices and labor. Estimate was 2500$ Endurance covered 630$ of a 930$ bill. I had to pay 287$ to get car out of there! Off to Pep Boys for tires they denied that claim as well. They told me basically I don’t take care of my car my tires were bald. I had 4 new Michelin tires in my car. Obviously something was making the front ones “a road hazard”.
