great video, and explanation of how a simple tire balancing machine vs road force balancing machine can make a difference for certain types of vehicles

Thank you for the information

The Michelin CrossClimate 2 is why I went back to having 2 sets of wheels. But... before the legendary CC2, I was happy with Nokian WR G3 and WR G4 as my winter tires.

If I see a review by a reputable expert I’ll be convinced. That applies to ALL products

Testing these tire is not about who is the best. You have to compare specific multi weather performances. It is not just about snow. As fas as I found out the CC2 is better in snow, compared to th GY. However just cold weather, combined with rain, the GY performs better. However both performe very well as they are both top quality tires. Making the choice is not just one is better than the other.

the official site refers them "as discontinued" is this true?

Don’t drive in a bad neighborhood….

Dry rot???

Why is the Goodyear WeatherReady 2 not sold in Germany? Or is it "just" a different name here, maybe 4Seasons G3?

The real question is, why does this issue only happen after changing the tires for the first time? When the vehicle is brand new, no off balance issue. Only after first initial tire replacement. How do they balance at the factory?

I run Nokian WRG3 All Weathers on my Infiniti SUV and they work very well on most days here in Calgary. They grip on ice and power through snow better than any All Season and work very well in the summer and shoulder seasons. But when things go bad or I am driving in the mountains I take the Volvo with the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 studded. The All Weathers are really good but they just can’t compete with a dedicated winter tire in winter conditions. Just don’t think that an all season is a winter tire. They don’t work once it gets below 5 C. Which is 5 months of the year here.

I don't understand how anyone can feel safe driving on wet roads with these tires. I have driven them for 10k miles on my stock GTI mk7. Horrible on wet roads. It's not hydroplaning, but understeering and sliding all over the place. Worst tires I've ever owned.

Recently purchased Petlas winter tires for my car. After a Google search, I found out they are made in Turkey. Not sure how this will turn out, fingers crossed.

Steel rims will soften with time and go out of round. Alloys are stiff and will bend out of round and develop point offsets. New rims will solve the problem. Lastly, there are locating marks on tires and rims that match to avoid weights altogether. If needed weights should not exceed a single unit for new assemblies. The rest is normal wear and should not develop vibration issues even with excessive breaking.

I just ordered a set of the 225/P65/17 Goodyear WeatherReady 2 for my 2014 Subaru Outback. Replacing a set of Pirelli Scorpion Plus AT's (they looked awesome and did a fine job for all terrains..) We just had a OEM size set of the Michelin CrossClimate 2 installed on my wife's 2020 Subaru Forester about 2 months ago. No snow or ice yet in southern Ohio but was impressed with the ability to handle well in wet conditions! So we have a set of each to compare over the long run. The price of the GY's were about $15 a tire less and a $100 rebate helped my decision today.

is it safe to ride on tires with51lbs when they were filled cold at 42lbs?????like when going from cold state to warm state???

Nice tire but worried about comfort flex sidewalls for people that like to hit curbs and parking stops. Something to look into before a Firestone type class action lawsuit which we all know it was fords fault.

I just put these on my Tesla Model X (replacing Michelin Crossclimates). First, they are FAR quieter. Second, after 500 miles, I'm getting 13% greater range that on my old Michelins. For my 90D, that's 30 extra miles per charge. I thought it was battery degradation ( 8 years old) but it was the Michelin tires that were killing my range. So far, these are darn fine tires.

Mich tires the best compared to GY

Great winter tires

We NEVER had winter tires back in the day and did just FINE...and the winters were worse than now...

I had a set of those once. Going 10mph around a soft turning lane in the rain I touched the painted line and my car went completely sideways. They channel water away great but they have no lateral grip. Don't fall for their gimmick.

Oh, that scratch from hex key at 00:06:16 😶

is that still an issue? only in favella's in Rio or Caracas i guess?

His analogy is flawed. Comparing Chinese made products using Apple is wrong because Apple controls the manufacturing, the components and the methods of manufacturing. He needs to compare an Apple phone to Huawei phone. If he does that, the lack of quality for the Chinese phone are beyond obvious. This is the same for all western countries who have manufacturing facilities in China. The problem arises when you look at a Chinese sourced tire. Something like a lionhart which is a Chinese owned tire. Nice looking tire but the rubber compound contains contaminates that affect the curing of the rubber. The belts inside the tire so not finally the way to the edge and the bead sometimes isn't complete, meaning that there may be gaps in the cord that makes up the bead. Talk to a tire installer and they will tell you which tires they have the most difficulty balancing and which tires will have problems on the highway due to defects inside the tire and it will ALWAYS be a Chinese brand tire. And yes, major brands to make tires in China... But can you be sure that that Michelin tire is ACTUALLY a Michelin and not a cheap copy which is what China is MOST famous for?

Best way: spray your tires with cat pee lol.

This is only half a test. Where are the ice and snow handling tests?

Ditch the music. It doesn't help at all.

The difference in the tire warranties is because 100,000 kms is actually closer to 62,000 miles while 95,000 kms is almost exactly 60,000 miles ( a little lower actually ).

Car dealers give us monkey little wrenches to change tires. Bolts are put on so hard we can not open them. In 1970-2000 things worked easily. Today assholes have screwed up the whole system.

I put a set of Hakkapeliitta 10’s on my Subaru Outback last week. Yesterday I drove out on the ice road on our local lake. Full braking from 70km was straight and smooth. Flooring the gas pedal from a dead stop the tires grabbed the ice and never slipped. Granted Outbacks are not known to be a powerhouse but one does not drive that aggressively even on drive pavement. As for being a great snow tire, I haven’t tried it yet. You can always judge the snow conditions and drive appropriately or not at all, with ice, you just never know when it might be between your tires and the road. I’ll feel a lot safer this winter.

Made in Mexico...

Nothing on Gas Milage in real world, the reason I sit on the fence on the CrossClimate2s. That and the cost of fitting 4 of them on 20 inch wheels

I just use two sets of Gorilla spinning wheel locks. They're only $22 a set on Amazon and my lug holes are deep enough to keep a thief from getting a vice grip on the lower non spinning part. They'd have to reeeeeaaaly want my wheels pretty bad to be willing to pound a socket past two of those per wheel. (and then have to pound the stuck lug nut out of the socket so they can use it for the next one) I'm guessing they'd just move on to an easier victim.

The one thing that scares me with the r5 is the tread depths looks shallow.

The real American dream is making enough money to get away from them.

It fixed my issue. At around 140-150 kmh, I had this pulsation, vibration not big enough to make my watch rattle, but enough to be annoying. I felt it in the steering wheels, in the pedals and in the seat. At the tire shop, all BUT ONE wheel were ok, just needed to be balanced the traditional way. But ONE wheel needed the tire to be placed in a different position on the rim. That did it, I took the car on the highway right after that and the problem disappeared. Marvelous machine !!!!!

Sailun are fantastic Tried the rest and only Hancook came close but were more expensive

Got a set of 265/70-17's for my 2021 Ford Ranger Tremor to replace the worn out General Grabbers that were OEM on the truck. Since I had some past experience with Nokian Hakkapellita snow tyres, I knew that Nokian would have a great product. Absolutely love them so far.

Buy the Goodyear soon, as the Mango Mussolini is putting a 25% Tax on these as they are made in Chile

The problem with your analysis and determinative factor in using these tires is that climate change is causing 30 to 40 degree changes within a single day. I have experienced this in my region of the northeast, with swings of temperatures from the 20s to 60 degrees.

i bought Cross climate 2. Best tires I've ever driven on. Does everything well.

GY sucks.

I have the Hakkallackapelliitta 10 on the front of my lowered Prius. I can plow through a foot of snow, even up hills. My favorite is driving around big lifted 4x4 trucks that are sliding everywhere. I don't even notice when it's icy until I see cars off the road in ditches.

Your Problem is a light vehicle on balloon tires Nothing to do with M/T 33x11 MT on a GMC Crew Cab Diesel 4x4 Dually worked better on snow and ice (and BF Goodrich are Garbage) it had new stock ish sized snows on it when I bought it

Have to try these next time. I have the michelin x ice for the first time, and they are ok. Had an old set of blizzaks that I had from the car bought, and those were very good.

Cross climate 2’s are actually rated at a winter tire level with the Triple Peak Mountain and Snowflake symbol… these imo are the future of tires… you don’t need to change them… like it should have always been.

*My Cinturato's work great with my RWD mid engine sports car, in northern Ohio, and southern Canada, year round.*

Amination? Cazzo? Viration?

Never again! Just out of warranty and only used winter icebtyres for 3 months every year since bought… had still 5-6 m of tread depth… the car failed its MOT because the cord was coming through the tread… not the side walls or outer edges,the middle of the tread!! Alignment all okay before anyone mentions that too… called Goodyear and because they were 2 weeks out of warranty they wouldnt do anything for me!! Nothing! 2 weeks out of warranty with 5-6m of tread!! All 4 tyres were the same! Never again! Ever!
