Tires MICHELIN or Uniroyal

I’ve had good experiences with the Michelin xice series.

Check out Michelin Cross Climate II as a year-round option. We use them on one of our FWD SUVs.

Compared to the stock GoodYear Eagles they are MUCH better. These tires are perfect for what I needed which is on-road use, the traction is very good, road noise is much lower, and general level of comfort and absorbing things like bumps and potholes is much improved too.

It also corners better now, before it felt almost floaty? Like it could fish tail out of nowhere almost if I turned too hard but now I can take corners with some speed and not worry. I would say most importantly though the driving experience is improved from a boat/float feel to something with power that doesn’t struggle to transfer it to the ground. Would highly recommend!

I’ve had the same experiences with my pilot sport 4 AS. I’m at 41,000 miles and still going strong. I estimate I will get another 5 to 10,000 out of them. It’s really only the back tires that will need replacement. The front tires still appear to have most of their tread. The Michelin’s are incredible tires!

I have been running PS4S on my R32. These tires hold really well, even when it's wet.

The 18s have Michelin X-Ice Snow tires on them. So far so good.

Sounds like you need better snow tires. Or you need to learn to drive in the snow. I did just fine in Houghton with an NA Miata on Michelin X-Ices, and in a low slung FWD Volvo C30 on Vredestein Wintrac Pros.

CrossClimates are good in winter but take a penalty in MPG & noise because of that benefit (the 2 biggest complaints in reviews).

As someone who cheated out on tires and ended up losing traction going around a curve in the rain, fishtailing to the other side of the road and getting t-boned by a vehicle twice the size of mine, I’ve made it a rule to never cheap out on tires again. Michelin is one of the better brands out there IMO.
