Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA

Michelin x-ice are pretty nice. Used my last set for 5 or 6 seasons. Had been so long since i bought them. They did a little RND

On our second set with the Honda Pilot. Best tires ive ever owned. We live on the side of the mountain in Chugiak and drive the icy highway all the time. Deep snow, glare ice, no problem.

Not having to do seasonal tire changeover ever again is so nice

Get some CrossClimates great snow ready all-seasons. I had them on an AWD car when I lived on a rural island in the PNW. We had no snow plow except the neighbors little john deere.

In September I switched to slightly narrower and taller Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 in 265/50R20, and they have been awesome. I’m now about 5000 miles in on the Defenders and have tested them in every environment this car can safely go. We drove from upstate NY to CO at fast highway speeds and they were great, felt better than the stock tires. We have been in eastern Idaho for a month and have done every fire road I can find between here and western WY and southwestern MT, and they have been flawless. We got snow overnight and into today, so I hit the dirt roads this morning and they were again flawless in mixed snow / gravel / mud.

The Michelin LTX AT2... Less void to rubber ratio than the BFG AT TA KO2 means it will be quieter, less susceptible to cupping, have a longer tread life, and still retain it's grip and clean out capability for snow and mud. I sold dozens of sets of both and had the opportunity to observe their performance over years.

For snow, winter tires are much more affective than AWD on all season. Even the cheapest set of winter tires will outperform summer/all season

I bought the Yokohama BlueEarth winter tires. They worked great. They also meet the traction requirements for things like mountain passes. I didn't notice any change in gas mileage. During COVID we weren't driving much so I just left them on all year and didn't have any issues.

Cross Clikate 2. They are comfy and quieter than the Michelin Defenders and Primacy.

CC2 has better grip all around especially in snow, it just might be more noisy and not last as long.

The rears have Michelin pilot supersports on them and theyre terrible.
