Tires MICHELIN or BFGoodrich

I just got 20” Defender LTX M/S2’s on my R1T, absolutely love them. I got 30k out of the Pirelli’s so I really hope to get at least 40 or 50k out of these.

Personally, I have the Michelin Pilot and can attest to how incredibly awesome they are. Stick to the road like glue and significant road noise reduction over the factory crap Acura puts on it's cars.

I have done 5 seasons on Michelin X-Ice on GD STi and cannot recommend highly enough.

The Michelin Defender tires have settled in well. As you can see, I’m getting significantly better efficiency now that the tires have a few thousand miles on them. 6000 miles in and they are down to 10 mm on tread. Factory tread is 11 mm so I’m very happy with the wear so far. Especially considering the Pirellis only lasted 23k miles. Picture 3, with 12,000 miles is the last 12,000 mile efficiency rating on the Pirelli’s. Picture 2 is the first 3000 miles on the Michelins. I am shocked to see the difference, as I was expecting a loss of efficiency with the Defenders. The data is trending and showing they are in fact a better efficiency tire vs the factory Pirellis. 50 cold psi is a must IMO.

Southern Maine here. The KO3s I’m currently running are terrific in both rain and snow. Every bit as good as the old AT3W in both. Only time I went 4hi last winter was on a particularly twisty/hilly part of my commute (narrow two lane rd) and that had more to do with me being overly cautious, not because it was slipping

The Michelin LTX aren’t much to look at, but they have tons of those little sipes in there and make for a low-key snow tire in my experience. Also sound good on the highway

My KO2s were 5 or 6 years old with plenty of tread left. I stuck with BFG because I get plenty of miles out of them and I have no complaints from the KO2.

Eu cu michelin alpin 5, tractiune spate nu am avut nici cea mai mica problema iarna la munte. Mi se par niste cauciucuri senzationale pe zapada.

Not on a X7, but on a Hyundai Equus (air ride as well that eat rear tires every 15k miles). Michelin lasted only 10k miles, and might have been a bit more comfortable, but this is it.

I have the Ps4s on my x5m and I’ve disliked them from day 1. Honestly can’t wait to put my winters back on so I don’t hear so much road noise.
