Tires MICHELIN or Shinko

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.

I just upgraded our Crosstrek Hybrid to Cross Climate 2's - They are good all-season touring tires. The stock Falken tires are... meh, and mine didn't seem to last very long.

It's only been a day, but the CC2's are super responsive and the car is a whole lot quieter.

I have the same vehicle and put Michelin CC2 on it. They're a grip hugging tire and have enjoyed having them on the vehicle. One other tire that I've come across and considering for the future are the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive which was tested and outperformed the CC2 on wet roads. However, the CC2 does have a better tread life and wear rate. Can't go wrong with either.

Michelin Defender 100%. Cross Climate is a close second. Michelin are expensive for a reason- they’re the best. Fantastic ride quality, durable rubber compound, and most importantly even tread wear. 10x better than the junk OEM Falken or Yokohama tires

For a Civic, something like X-Ice Snow or Blizzak WS90 will make winter driving way less stressful.

I just put them on my Forester and am now struggling to maintain 30mpg whilst before I was sitting between 34 - 36 depending on how many red lights I caught that week. I kind of wish I had gone with the Defender 2 series or another touring tire personally as I already have Blizzak WS90s on my Wrx STi that I can use for heavy snow

As a rule, I prefer Michelin, but I’m not a fan of the Sport. Just had them put on mine and they’re not as good as the Primacy.
