I put snow tires on my stock Mitsubishi Evo wheels for a weekend in Tahoe. All season tires didn't work, but wow the Bridgestone Blizzaks were magic even on an AWD 400 hp car
Owner reviews for tires
For snow, winter tires are much more affective than AWD on all season. Even the cheapest set of winter tires will outperform summer/all season
I bought the Yokohama BlueEarth winter tires. They worked great. They also meet the traction requirements for things like mountain passes. I didn't notice any change in gas mileage. During COVID we weren't driving much so I just left them on all year and didn't have any issues.
Cross Clikate 2. They are comfy and quieter than the Michelin Defenders and Primacy.
AT4W - 265/75R/16 stock SR suspension.
Initial weekend thoughts:
- I sit slightly higher with these bigger tires. Just barely enough for me to notice though as I look over my steering wheel. I previously had on the stock 245/75R/16 HW tires.
-MPG’s don’t take a hit on regular roadways up to 45 MPH but getting on the freeway is when I feel some resistance. The truck feels heavier/slower and MPGs are reduced by 2-3 MPGs on the freeway as I’m accelerating more frequently to reach and stay at my desired speed.
-There is virtually no road noise difference from the stock tires, at least not what I’ve been able to tell so far.
-I feel the road more, speed bumps feel more sensitive for example.
-The A/T tread is picking and throwing up some rocks from the road.
I’ve only had them for the weekend so far but I love the functionality of these tires and they also add that desired aggressive look I have been longing for. I’m excited to take these off pavement real soon.
Wind. I see it all the time here in the Southwest. Washboard road patterns emerge like sand dune shifts in the Sahara. Couple that with constant movement from tires on vehicles, it makes it worse.
High Desert Nevada. Continental have gotten me through the big storms we get and numerous icy conditions. With the traction control on the Velos, they have worked great.
Switched them over to Pirelli AS3 and now I understand! What I gained in grip I gave up in harshness.
Perso j'ai une expérience assez bof niveau espérance de vie dans le temps, j'ai jamais acheté de Michelin en neuf (sauf pour ma bécane, j'ai pas voulu jouer avec une sous-marque) mais j'ai eu plusieurs fois des Michelin d'occasion, disons "proches de la date de péremption", et j'ai remarqué qu'ils ont une forte tendance à craqueler, plus que d'autres marques moins prestigieuses.
Là je suis en Toyo je crois en gamme équivalente à ce que je prends e. Michelin
C'est incomparable, j'ai l'impression d'avoir des pneus en plastique
