I recently purchased Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires for my wife’s 2018 CRV EX-L FWD and I have to say they are pretty stellar. Thus far we have put at least 2000 miles on them to include a 14 hour road trip. Excellent traction on wet roads and far superior to the Goodyear Assurance we had before. We have driven through a couple significant downpours and these tires have confidence on wet roads. As for the alleged noise complaints, I think they’re very quiet compared to the old tires. Rolling resistance/ MPG; no changes and I would have happily sacrificed a couple MPG for good traction in FWD vehicle.
Owner reviews for tires
I would go with Michelin Pilot A/S 4 if money isn’t a factor. They’re more expensive, but *excellent* all around tires.
Have the Kumho Ecsta, standard fitted here in the Netherlands. Have to say they are very silent and durable. Drove approx 37k km with them. Have also Continental Premiumcontact winter/snow tyres. Not bad too.
I had to replace at 10k lol I ended up with Michelin CrossClimate2 CUV
Toyos and Kumhos have served me well over tens of thousands of miles. Toyo Open Country AT3W and Kumho Crugen HT51. Michelins are known as the best tire for longevity and commuting.
This doesn't apply to you, as you're in California, but my winter tires are Yokohama and they're the best winter tires I've ever had. I've had Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone.
Michelin. Pirelli too soft. Not durable prone to temp issues.
Firestone firehawks Indy 500s amazing tires I had them on my 2002 mustang GT convertible
On stock wheels I'm running Nitto 555 G2's at 305/35 on all 4 corners. Best tire? No. But for the price and treadwear they do fine.
The factory Bridgestone Ecopia tires were trash. They were useless in any wet conditions at 30k miles. It’s rocking some Generals now.
