I have a front wheel drive minivan with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires. These are all season tires that are snow rated. This is the second year I have had them on and I have not hade any problems driving in the snow. I'm out in the country a bit, down a hilly half mile dirt private road, I have never gotten stuck. They seem just as good as the Blizzaks I had previously and I don't have to pay to have them swapped twice a year.
