Yesterday I swapped over to my winter tires because we were expecting some snow. I removed my Nitto 555's 295 in rear/255 up front. I put on a set of the best snow tires I could buy. Michelin X-Ice 2 all around on the stock rims. When I took it for a ride I couldn't believe my ears. The Michelin snows were almost completely silent. I mean, incredibly quiet. I know it's not a fair comparison cause the Nitto's are much bigger tires but WOW are the Michelins nice. Just thought I'd share because I didn't expect this from a snow tire.

 

i hope they do well for you and
keep you on the road. just the
thought of my car + snow, makes
me nervous

 

Ptaylor 9849, I have a set of the Micheline Pilot A/S plus and love them. Quite as can be and for a 35 series tire w/ 285's in the rear, they are amazing.

 

ptaylor? you don't have a snow vehicle?

 

What is snow?

 

Snow is on the ground at my house

 

Saddle up, I don't have a winter beater presently because people keep hounding me to buy my cars. What I mean is, I'll buy a fairly inexpensive car like 4-6 grand that I plan on using as a winter beater. Then I polish the heck out of it and make it sparkle because I enjoy doing that. Then my friends always ask if I want to sell it? So I sell it to them for a small profit. Right now my only cars are these:

 

All I can say is, you need a new exhaust if you can compare how quiet your tires are!!

 

^^+2 haha

 

Amen brotha!

Modern snow tires have come a long way in comfort, traction and dry weather performance.
