Tires MICHELIN or Toyo

I’ve got a ‘19 SE that I put Michelin cross climate 2’s on. That combined with driving in low gear on snow-covered roads has done well for me so far.

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.

Even with the stock Toyos, this car handled like a champ.

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.)

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.

I\u2019m about 1000 miles into the defenders, coming from OEM scorpion 22\u201ds. Quite disappointed in the efficiency drop.
