Tires MICHELIN or Toyo

I've used X-ice for years. One of the best tires on the market for snow.

I drive a 2004 volvo XC70, that sees a lot of dirt, mud, back roads and sometimes even snow. Michelin cross climate 2s on that thing no matter what... Those tires are just plain amazing on anything all wheel drive that encounters a lot of sloppy shit.

I had the Toyo's on my truck. Wear was good, road noise very minimal. Great tire on road and off road.

Michelin Defenders best tire on the market don\u2019t care what anyone says

Put some michellins on and the problem went away

I have had the Toyo's on my 2016 for 2 years now and am really happy with them. They do really good in the Canadian snow, and are not super loud with the doors off on the highway. The only issue I have with them is that in some cool and wet mornings, I have to slow down on some corners or the slide a bit.

I have them but a different size. No complaints, smooth, relatively quiet. the Toyo is the more road oriented of the three, and in my case, notably lighter. But I have also taken it to Moab and through some snow wheeling and they’ve been good.

If you drive much to snowy areas, Michelin Crossclimate2 is the way to go. They are the best in snow short of dedicated snow tires. They are somewhat quieter than the OEM and the Continental Crosscontact tires I had before.

I replaced my stock tires with Michelin Defender 2’s. They seem pretty good so far (in Eastern Canada).

I had the Toyos and drove 21k with the PHEV before they were down to 4-5/32". It is really important to check the tire depth every 2-3k and rotate as appropriate as they definitely wear quick when starting out.
