Recommendation:\n- Michelin Cross Climate 2 with padding. I get them from Discount Tires, I buy their insurance. What you pay upfront is what you get in back end. I have had a few total replacements with no cost.
I found Michelin Road 5s to keep their excellent feel in the wet and the cold. I commuted in under 10 degrees F and through snowstorms on them several times. Obviously slowed way down in the snow, but the tires kept telling me they had more grip if I wanted it.
Very decent snow tires despite not being all-out winters. AMAZING in the rain. Aquaplane resistance is second to none, great straight line grip, pretty good in the corners. My current set is down to about 5/16 and is losing grip like crazy, but that is expected. It took 70k miles to get down to 5/16, by the way.
You could go to an all weather tire like the Michelin Cross Climate 2
Crossclimate 2 on 2016 Civic over 70k miles on them and still good (per Costco, I still have about 15020K miles on them). They are very good on water and ok in snow. HOWEVER they become noisier as they age.
The v730s have significantly more grip and won’t get as greasy and the Michelin.
Just got a set of CC2\u2019s last week for my XT6. Already have them on our minivan and my son\u2019s Fusion (my previous work vehicle). I don\u2019t notice anymore road noise from the CC2 compared to the OEM tire (Michelin Primacy Tour). We just got about 8\u201d of snow yesterday in to today and the CC2 are significantly better in the snow than the PT were last winter. I have a short ride to the office now but I went through 2 sets of CC2\u2019s on the Fusion when I was driving 100+ miles a day to my previous job and they were excellent in all conditions at highway speeds.
I have Dunlop Sport Maxx for summer and Michelin X-Ice Snow for winter. The Dunlop are like fucking slicks once things start to get cold and wet. These x-ice are a BEAST though. 70+ with no issues while everyone else is doing 40 with hazards.
Nothing wrong till the rubber underneath pops out. He's on company policy standard. It'll only last like half a season to full season. Same as my michelline xice 3 ive been using all winter last year now summer, soon to be winter again. Its also as pictured
I'm not very impressed with 19" Michelin Ice-Xs on my YP compared to Blizzaks that I used to run on my WRX, but I think it's more to do with Tesla's 60/40 AWD v Subaru's symmetrical 50/50 AWD.
