Tires MICHELIN or Toyo

I have them on my Jetta TDI sportwagon and they are fantastic! First season we got a big ice storm here in the PNW and it was a complete shitshow! I could go anywhere, I regularly passed stuck 4x4s and was completely amazed at the performance on ice! Second season we got another ice storm and while they were still good definitely not as good as when new.

They’re great tires but I will say that they are REALLY loud. Noticeably louder than the Defender 2s that they replaced. Noticeably louder than the original CrossClimates that I had on a different car.

Or even a snow rated all season tire, like a Michelin CrossClimate 2. I have these on my AWD crossover and have been able to navigate lake effect snow with little to no issue. Maybe an occasional bit of oversteer, but very controllable.

The Michelin X-Ice Snow isn’t quite as aggressive in deep stuff, but it’s way more consistent over the years, quieter, and usually lasts noticeably longer.

My vote is for Michelin Cross Climate 2 on an all wheel drive in the Suquehanna Valley area.

This and the Cup 2R are just one lap wonders. They're great if you want to set the best time in a time attack/qualifying event but once they overheat, you lose a lot of grip.

My Legacy is a bit heavier and automatic, for that I went with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires for snow capable year rounders. They're absolutely amazing, not too loud in summer, very capable as a snow tire.

I have an AWD SUV and I'm getting my four Michelin X-Ice's put on Friday. They have saved my butt numerous times out in rural parts of Bucks county and in Philly too.

I have toyo open country A/T III 4 season tires on my truck and I find they perform decently in winter

Hey, I have a Michelin set from 2018 and they are hard like hockey pucks. I don’t run on them cause I have another set that I’m on.
