Owner reviews for tires

Underated brand. I just went through my first set of v730s. I'll be buying them again this spring.

I have Michelin Defender2s on my '19. They are great tires. I don't really see any snow, but they do great in the rain. They ride well, are pretty grippy for all-seasons and handle 80mph on the highway with 0 issues.

Try Limitless Tire. They're pretty reputable for branded tires. Got my Nokian Hakkapeliitta from them.

Just put 4 Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady 2’s on our ‘24 and they’re rockstars. Bit of a mileage hit but that also could be because it’s winter and the car is warming up more in the mornings here in New England.

I just upgraded our Crosstrek Hybrid to Cross Climate 2's - They are good all-season touring tires. The stock Falken tires are... meh, and mine didn't seem to last very long.

It's only been a day, but the CC2's are super responsive and the car is a whole lot quieter.

I have the same vehicle and put Michelin CC2 on it. They're a grip hugging tire and have enjoyed having them on the vehicle. One other tire that I've come across and considering for the future are the Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive which was tested and outperformed the CC2 on wet roads. However, the CC2 does have a better tread life and wear rate. Can't go wrong with either.

I’ve had a decent experience with my Falken Rubitreks, they’re not a true winter but they perform well enough

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.

Same issue with my Skoda Rapid. Got it replaced immediately at Ekkatuthangal MRF on a pro rata basis.

Same issue with my virtus. Got replaced tyre under warranty
