Tires MICHELIN or Toyo

The CrossClimate2 are excellent all-season tires. In fact, putting their all-weather capability aside, they're simply excellent even as far as 3-season tires go. So think of them as premium 3-season tires with extra winter capability.

I have recently installed michelin cross climate 2 and I am very happy with them. It is well worth the investment.

Personally I have Michelin crossclimate+ on my prius (they don't have crossclimate 2 in my size) and love them.

Michelin. Always Michelin.

The only time I've ever hydroplaned was on Goodyears.

I returned them with no problem and bought pilot sport all seasons. They arrived in good shape with mfg date of March this year ????

Yes wildpeaks were highly recommended. I actually just bought cross climate 2s. Handle really well in rain so far.

I recommend Toyo tires, Bridgestone and Michelin. We usually go with toyo but all of the 3 have served us well

I ended up getting the Toyo Open Country ATIII tires as recommended by some of the posters below, and my tire shop! These seem to last longer than some of other options I was looking at, and don't need rotation as frequently. They're also rated as all-season tires, which is a nice plus for New England.

So far I've driven them offroad quite a bit in VT on the NE BDR, some trails in NH, and out on the beach at the Cape Cod National seashore. They've handled it all very well.

As far as road manners go, they are nice and quiet, but of course they are a slightly louder than highway tires. nothing obnoxious. They've also done just fine with grip on wet asphalt, and are fine on dry asphalt as well. I don't think they are as responsive as the HT tires were for steering on the road, but they track nice and straight.

The Michelin sidewalls had all the support in the world, to the point of feeling harsh. Awesome in the corners though but the car definitely thudded over expansion joints and bumps.

Stay away from American made tires, it might sound crazy to hear but it's true. Michelin, Goodyear, MasterCraft, Cooper, they aren't worth the hassle the compound is much too soft.
