Tires MICHELIN or BFGoodrich

Having the CC2s will definitely help. The CC2s will definitely help you stop.

The past couple of sets I've had were Michelin X-Ice and they've been excellent. The X-Ices last for 40k or something.

More sidewall rubber gives a softer ride and absorbs winter roughness better, so a good idea. I went 29 inch 235/60R18 x-Ice for even more rubber and they are great.

Once I put Pilot Sports onto my V40 that thing just came alive. It didn't have crazy power obviously but you could use all of it, all the time and I kept up with or outran much quicker BMWs, Mercs and VWs because it could handle corners (especially once I got the hang of heel-toeing).

Been on the Defender m/s2 for 26,300mi. Still at 44mph average speed. 2.25mi/kwh. They have better steering response and overall grip than A/T which anyone would expect, quieter but not silent, lacking in the looks department, wearing better than Pirellis but faster than the Michelin treadlife prediction. Tire noise has not gotten worse as they age, possibly quieter but I deal with a lot of wind noise so not sure.

Got the Michelin 275/60/R20 for the past 10k miles and getting good efficiency. Ride was comfortable as well.

I replaced the BF Goodyears on my '68 convertible last year. They were 36 years old. They had about 5k miles on them. They looked brand new inside and out. They have been inside for 99.9% of their life. The same tires are on my '70 Mach 1, at 32 years. Are the new BFGs I put on going to last 36 years, or is the quality not the same?

Just did the same switch myself and it’s the best ever.

I have the Michelin Pilot Sport All-season 4s which is the primary competitor to this tire and they’re completely useless in the snow on my 06. Great cold and wet weather tire but if you frequently need to drive in snow then get a proper winter tire.

Hated the KO3s in the rain. Did a 1000 mile trip and as soon as I got home had Discount Tire swap them for AT4Ws.
