For tyres, I go for Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. They are lasting well, are decent in wet conditions, have good, predictable grip and don't break the bank.
Owner reviews for tires
Running Nokian Hakkapelitta LT3 and MSW Type 52 (Black) on my R1T right now!
CC2. Sharper handling than the stock ProContact TX and superior in bad weather (standing rain water and snow.)
Check out Laufenn for tire options. They are Hankook’s economy line, and they are solid tires at an affordable price.
Try kumho tires korean brand and decent quality for its price, for my sedan its about 2.8k per tire
Shockingly fantastic in winter slop. I was expecting them to be bad compared to my Sumitomos. Nope. Even better in slop. 100% recommended. Great in the dry with very low noise and super highway tracking. Finally found the grail of cheap and awesome.
I’m also in Chicago, bought the same tires, and just assumed I was heavy footed and that’s why I was can’t break 3.0 mi/kwh even though I’m not that bad. Didn’t realize the tires themselves were less efficient. All that being said I home charge so by my math it’s like 80 dollars extra a year of electricity to avoid the more expensive tires.
I did the same switch. I was averaging 4.0-4.1m/kwh. With the new Pilots i dropped to around 3.5. I will take the efficiency hit over the price of the Turanza tires. Four of the Michelins are the price of two of the T009s.
They're not good in the dry and wet in my experiance. I came from Pilot Sport AS4 and when pushing my car on highway entrance ramps the CC2 always will trigger traction control whereas the AS4 never did.
They are loud and don’t ride particularly well. Grip is good but it’s definitely a compromise. I think their marketing is just really good and they are not worth the compromise. I would always just run a dedicated touring set and dedicated winters.
