I’ve owned two sets of Michelin X-Ice and one set of Michelin X-Ice Snow SUV. They were used on Dodge/Chrysler vans with good results. I only used the X-Ice Snow for one season and was able to recoup much of the cost when I traded in my Dodge van for a Honda. The Honda needs two new tires. I’m debating between going with another set of X-Ice Snow and then I will need new summer/fall tires this spring. If I go this route, I will need a second set of rims, TPMS sensors, and tires which will set me back around two grand unless I can find used rims. It’s easier and cheaper to buy rims than have tires remounted twice per year.
I just discovered “all weather tires”. If I go that route I’m looking at Michelin Cross Climate2 tires. It would be much cheaper to go this route. They have the 3PMSF symbol and are rated for severe weather. Some reviews I have seen have stated that you should get a dedicated snow tire if you live in a severe weather area.
So, what is the consensus on All Weather tires (not to be confused with All Season tires)? Will the Cross Climate 2’s perform well in deep snow?
