I'll say that I used to insist on Continentals on my VWs, but when they weren't available for my former Touareg, the Michelin Cross Climate 2 was highly recommended and I felt I was settling, but took them as they were what was available. Then I found that there was magic about those tires! In all my life I had never driven a vehicle that performed as my Touareg did with those Cross Climates. I even had a long time VW friend drive it and he said that it felt as if the Touareg was floating down the highway. The tires were perfectly quiet
Owner reviews for tires
They are absolutely fantastic and well worth the price. They perform better than other name brand winter tires I've had.
I had BF Goodrich Advantage Control tires on my wife's car (2017 Hyundai Sonata). I just replaced them with the same tires as the previous tires had 59,000 miles on them & measured 4/32. Never any issues and the New tires give the car a great ride.
I just replaced my original Assurance Weather Ready tires today, for the new version. I got a little over 78k miles on the first set. I think they were the best tires I've ever owned. They did well in Colorado mountain snow, generally inspired confidence and wore like iron.
I've had Pirelli Scorpion plus all season 15 years ago on my old Nissan Sentra and it did a great job for 50k miles. Right now, i have Pirelli Scorpion AT plus and it does a great job so far in all weather with my Lexus GX460. I have good experience so far with Pirelli compared to other brands.
I installed the WeatherActive's on my Toyota Sienna. I'm at 30k miles and only have 3/32 tread left. Warranty is supposed to be 60k miles. The WeatherActives are great tires that hold the road well and let me drive a Toyota Sienna like a sportscar.
I have them on my 4Runner replacing prior at3 4s tires. Took a chance on them. I find them even better the prior at3 4s - as quiet as the original stocks. smooth easy riding on highway, outstanding in snow and slush - had them in a mini blizzard the first week. slightly more “aggressive” aesthetic if that’s your thing. Very happy with them.
I can't tell you what to get (not enough time on my Yokohama Geolander X-CV to make an assessment on wear but so far they handle well) but I can tell you what NOT to get. Avoid the Allenzas at all costs.
I replaced the Michelins on my Lincoln mKX with Goodyear weatheready tires. There is no comparison between the weatherready and the Michelins defender. The weatheready feels like it has a one ply sidewall when compared to the Michelin defender. The old worn out defenders ride better than the new weathereadys, buy the Michelins!
The only general consensus is that Pirelli is the worst tire you could buy. I have had the worst experience with pirellis that came on a car I bought.
