Tires MICHELIN or Shinko

Michellin. X and my 2015 Jetta I have 0 issues driving in snow ice condition. The feedback from the car give me the feeling of the road and makes me anticipate my Next Movement

I live in buffalo area we just were hit with 2 feet of snow the past two days. I put dedicated 20inch wheels and Michelin x ice tires on it instead of the 22” stock wheels and Michelin all seasons. It’s the most planted feeling I’ve had in a vehicle in the winter. I love how well the defrost works too. I’m start a new post tho for what is the most overkill windshields wipers available for the ix. I need them.

I put on a set of Michelin x-ice and went down to 20” rims from the stock 21’s. Handles great, very little sliding, good grip and I was surprised how quiet the tires are for full snows.

I have these from January 2023 with 40,000 miles and they look almost new.

Idk but the CC2 on my van lasted for 70k miles which was insane

CC2. Sharper handling than the stock ProContact TX and superior in bad weather (standing rain water and snow.)

Lots of snow here in WI this winter so far. My hybrid with CC2s (with 30k on them) has been a champ

I have the crossclimate2’s on my Mac and I love them!! Have had absolutely zero issues!!

After running these tires for 50k miles and to their untimely demise, I didn’t think they were particularly special. I don’t think they handled very sharp, they don’t seem super “sticky”, and tread life is pretty average. Even in snow I don’t feel like they’re that much better than an average all season.

They're not good in the dry and wet in my experiance. I came from Pilot Sport AS4 and when pushing my car on highway entrance ramps the CC2 always will trigger traction control whereas the AS4 never did.
