Reviews of MICHELIN tires

I bought these and I hate them. They’re so slippery on dry roads and are terrible in rain. I can’t corner AT ALL with speed. I’ll never buy these again and I don’t understand how so many people think these are great. Dangerous tire

Picked up a new set of Cross Climate 2’s over the weekend. Handling is great, especially in the rain. Aesthetically, I think they look super cool and unique. They have an aggressive look to them.

That being said, I did not do my due diligence beforehand and let the guy at discount t*re give me the run down on them. One thing he failed to mention was the lack of efficiency they bring (not blaming him). In my first couple of drives I noticed my wh/mi to be well over 300 and in one instance on a 5 mile drive it was 395 wh/mi. Crazy! This is in comparison to my average of 252 wh/mi for the last 5k miles I’ve driven. It’s important to note that I like to accelerate fast and have had the heat on due to the cold weather coming in (Chicago native).

I wanted to see how much of a difference it made if I changed my driving habits so for the past 15 miles or so. I turned “chill” mode on and turned off the AC system and have averaged around 210 wh/mi. Nice to know that efficiency is still attainable just a bit sad that I will be losing 30%+ of range when driving how I normally do.

Hoping that with time they will break in and I will see that number go down a bit. I will update the thread as I put more miles on them.

I have used Michelin and their winter tyres. Works magic and haven’t spun the pony during winter mix. Summer rain is another matter…

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport All-season 4s which is the primary competitor to this tire and they’re completely useless in the snow on my 06. Great cold and wet weather tire but if you frequently need to drive in snow then get a proper winter tire.

My Michelin crossclimate 2 were great first winter, good second winter and terrible third winter.

I ran the OEM 20 inch Michelin Pilot Sport EV. Surprisingly little noticeable tire wear. I was expecting about 50% of the tread to be gone after the day, but in reality, not much seems to have worn off at all. Traction felt good for the first 6-7 laps but started feeling greasy towards the end of sessions with the rear end of the car getting more and more playful with every lap- clearly the tires are working overtime dealing with the weight and power. Turn in and breakaway characteristics also felt good, nothing really to complain about here.

I drive the Michelins. All-Season tyres are winter tires that also work well in summer. Don't worry about the winter performance it will be good. For example the Cross Climate 2 has slightly lower aquaplaning test results than comparable 'summer' tyres.

Reingesteckt Bilstein Fahrwerk, Alus, Michelin Sommer und Conti Winter. 9 Jahre gefahren, ca. 60tkm. Defekte/erneuert: 2x Fensterheber, 1x L\u00fcftermotor, 1x Wischergest\u00e4nge, 1x Motorlager, 1x alle Softlackteile after market. Ansonsten nur Inspektionen.

Depends what you are looking for. I got Michelins for ride quality and reduced road noise and they do not disappoint.

The only all-weather (NOT all-season) tires I trust here are Michelin cross-climates.
