Maggie’s winter tires were 5 or 6 years old, too old to take into another winter and with her summers 4 years old too we decided to replace both sets with Michelin’s CrossClimate 2 all weather tires.  Unlike all season, these are new and designed to be used in wintery weather too.

I’m sure that means it doesn’t perform well in any one aspect of driving but let’s be frank, Maggie has a Lexus CT200h it’s not like she’s going to be doing anything spirited with that car.  When it’s very snowy out, we either just stay at home or drive my car so I think we should be alright but we’ll see how things are this winter and if she doesn’t feel safe with them then I’ll buy a dedicated set of winters later.

The tires to my old Lexus NX won’t fit on the RX and I have a set of tires coming for my car this week. 🙂  Expensive but necessary for Canadian winters.
