So glad I got rid of the Bridgestone Ecopias after only 2500 miles. Put on Crossclimate 2s. We have a snow storm today and we'll see how they do.

The Crossclimate 2 is very similar to my Crosclimate SUV. Can you please let me know how it performs in a heavy storm area, I live in Chicago and we get that kind of weather too.

I put up with the Bridgestones for 25,000 miles before replacing them with CrossClimate2s. I've had the Michelins for over a month and think they are great. Although I live in the recent storm zone, I didn't have to drive so I didn't.

So flipd4crv, how were the CrossClimate2s in the snow?

Thank you, I am considering new tires purchase and noticed both Continental CrossContact LX25 and Michelin CrossClimate SUV are neck to neck tie. Which one would be a better choice?

They are both rated at the top, but if you look a little closer the numbers are better all across the board for the Michelin's except for the treadwear. You can contact Tire Rack and talk to one of their experts.

I made a little clip to demonstrate the effectiveness of real snow tires on thick smooth ice. Non-studded Dunlop Grandtrek SJ6, 6 years old, 8 mm tread left. Acceleration with very little accel and then full braking, 0-40-0 km/h (0-25-0 mph).

You can see the video HERE.

I thought the tires did quite well. I was cautious and didn't want to be too over confident first time out. I will say the tires did quite well in the snow. I'm glad with the decision I made running the Crossclimates year round rather than getting a dedicated set of snow tires.
