The Michelin Defender 2 is an excellent low rolling resistance tire, though expensive.

Back when I was in college (2001) there was a guy in my class who tested tires in a lab. This was around the time Ford SUV's would flip over, thanks Firestone. He said he would test tires at high speed, different weighs, and tire pressures to test longevity. I asked him which tires were best. He said he couldn't tell me because of confidentiality laws. I asked him which tires he puts on his wife's minivan, and he said he would *only* put Michelin tires on his wife's car.
Always been a bi Michelin fan - never been done wrong with them. They cost a little more, but the ride and quiet are worth it to me. My X5 is right at the 70,000 mile mark with the set of Defender LTX I have on it, and I'd imagine another set is going on right behind them.
michelin pilot sport 4s best tires ever made
I've been running Costco michelin wipers on my cars since they're 10 bucks
my GF and I have used their blades for years and the price point is almost impossible to beat, and they are one of the better blades on market.
costco Michelin all weather wipers for $9 CAD each.. they last twice what the OEM ones do at less than half the price.
So I had Michelin Xclimates front and rear. After 31,000 miles, I unfortunately got a puncture in my front right after hitting a ratchet strap :(
At the time (5 years ago) £125 a tyre was definitely worth it for ~31,000 miles.
I changed the fronts with a set of Xclimate 2s. They’re expensive yeah… but they work.
Im on the Michelins from the factory and just noticed the rears are starting to show some wear in the center. I’m at about 14,000 miles.
Thoughts on CrossClimate2 for San Francisco/CA climate? Considering these for 2020 Kia Niro EV to replace current OEM Michelin Primacy MXV4, which we have found to be terribly un-grippy in rain.
