Tires MICHELIN or VITOUR

The Crossclimate 2 is a good tire that lasts and is worth the money. The weatherpeak last about 30,000 miles and has the thinnest sidewall of all time. Shop around more if you want but DO NOT BUY THE WEATHERPEAKS under any circumstances .

I bought a set of 275/50R22 Defender LTX 2 from Costco for about $305 a tire and it was a massive upgrade from OEM. Highly recommend

I chose to go with the Michelin Cross Climate 2s, which are all seasons with the M+S and the snowflake. I drive a VW Atlas SUV and so far these tires have been very impressive in the snow.

Only change I have made is putting on Michelin Pilot 4 all weather tires 235/40/19s on the stock wheels. A little more sidewall for a better ride and no problem with rubbing. My only gripe is the turbo lag but once it kicks in it does just fine.

When I ran P1s in the 70s and lower they needed part of an autoX lap to come in. Also, P1s come in 345s so when they did come in they were better than 315 Yokes. Head to head in the same size I'd go with the tire that works better cool/cold. But the P1s are impressive mid to end of the lap and seemed to allow higher cornering speeds in my non scientific testing.

I love my CC2s, got them in December and have had them on my wife’s MDX for 3 years. The wet performance is very impressive.

We put the CC2’s on it’s so much better than the stock. In the north east for the winters and it has been great in the snow this season. Road noise is fine and ride comfort is fine, but noticeably better in all aspects

Michelin—always worth the $$…keeps braking/traction through wear pattern better than any other tire

They are not as nice as Michelin but I cannot say they are terrible either.

Had the legendary Michelin CrossClimate 2 on my HiHy. They sucked in the heavy, wet snow that I drive in, especially when it's 4" deep or more... the tires just spin (Nokian WR's do better in this regard). Need to put into Trail mode to get unstuck. They are suited for after the plows come through.
