Tires MICHELIN or Achilles

If you're looking for an all around great summer & winter tire, I would recommend downsizing to 18" or 19" and getting the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Definitely not the best at dry acceleration or snow grip but overall an amazing tire at an affordable price.

Michelin AT 2 LT tire. Load Range E of course. I have 2022 Silverado 2500 with a truck camper on its back full time for 2.5 years. 46k miles and they still looks almost new. Great balance between on and off road.

Defender of course! I’m (Ioniq 5) in my second set of Defender. Very strong grip.

Michelin M/S2 has been my go-to highway tire for the taco

You’re use case screams Michelin Defender. Fantastic long life tire with good traction and can handle some dirt too.

BUT Michelin tends to not develop much road noise even when old.

they are LITERALLY the best (and only) tires that should go on an AMG

Crossclimate 2, especially if you get snow.

My original tires were cracked from being in the sun and not moving for a year or two, so the dealer replaced them with exactly the same tire and it went under the 12/12 warranty, so I need to go through those tires before I buy my own. Man, are they greasy in the wet!

I’ve had these for about 18 months / 15K miles on my 18’ AWD LX and I can’t say I’m a fan. Although they are amazing in the rain. I ironically wish for rain sometimes for longer trips because they drive SO much better on wet pavement compared to dry.

- The road noise is ridiculous on an AWD model.

- They’re wearing very fast for tires with only 15K.

- Drop in fuel efficiency once installed (~2MPG drop).

- Rocks, twigs, and everything else you can imagine get stuck in the grooves and can lead to a rough ride.
