Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

Their nothing fancy but it’s the x-ice tires and it worked great in the snow this past winter!

I really like my road 6 tires. They have even done pretty well on an accidental 10-mile gravel detour. I have 2000 miles on a rear that looks like new.

I replaced my 21 Elantra OEM Kumho tires at 25k; although, they certainly could’ve gone a while longer but I had recently moved north and they weren’t cutting it in the snow.

Put some Michelin CrossClimate 2’s on it and haven’t looked back. Great tires.

I got a great deal on Bridgestone Weatherpeak at Costco. I felt very confident driving them in torrential rains last week.

The CrossClimates are wonderful tire. I just put on a few 100km of light off road as you requested and no issues at all. They are wonderful in rain and snow. The only downsides would be: unidirectional and the aggressive thread pattern seems to suck up the rocks pretty good. But if you do mostly highway, these truly are an all climate tire.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Am avut si Michelin Primacy, dar s-au scumpit si au ajuns aproape cat PS4, asa ca am luat PS4. Cele mai bune anvelope pe care le-am avut.

Bought these tires for my Mazda 3 after one of my OEM Bridgestone EL440’s got pregnant(sidewall bulge), and I plugged a puncture in the other one. Decided to just replace the tires completely.

So far I’m happy with them.

Pros:

- Severe snow rating so they are legally snow tires in my state(for mountain passes and stuff), and I’m guessing the snow traction is way better. They are still all season tires though.

- Seems to be a softer ride overall even on the stock 18” side.

- XL sidewall strength, vs the stock tires being standard. Should help with those sidewall issues.

- They seem fairly quiet as far as noise.

- $150 rebate in addition to being fairly cheap

Cons:

- These are definitely not for those people who want sporty handling, they don’t really feel like a sport tire, and are more of a touring road tire.

- I’ve heard the treadwear isn’t the best(makes sense with the snow rating)

If you want a standard tire and not oversized or off-road, you can’t do better than Michelin defenders. The just don’t wear, and they’re great all over Colorado. I take them camping and I get less noise and good gas mileage on road, and I’ve never been stuck offroad. Great in the snow too.

Michelin primacy tire, I'm surprised. They usually hold up better than that. Looks like Sun rot!

Thoughts on CrossClimate2 for San Francisco/CA climate? Considering these for 2020 Kia Niro EV to replace current OEM Michelin Primacy MXV4, which we have found to be terribly un-grippy in rain.
