Tires MICHELIN or Continental

Continental Tires

All conditions were great EXCEPT wet root. So I'm also in the 'waiting for enduro super soft' camp.

Compared to Maxxis Assegai(grip) + DHR(terra) both exo+:

\* Conti feel more stable than exo+ but not worlds apart

\* Conti roll significantly faster (prob mainly due to Assegai being very slow)

\* Assegai maxxgrip has WAY more 'chemical' grip vs KR-F enduro soft. (Super soft is roughly the same)

\* Conti have more stability in side knobs and more 'physical' grip in loam

\* KR-R as better breaking traction IMO but is also heavier.

Pros: Conti roll significantly faster
Cons: EXCEPT wet root

Installed these on my EV6. They’re pretty great in the snow (also in CO). Expect a 10-15% hit to your range

Pros: great in the snow
Cons: hit to your range
Vehicle: Kia

Just installed a new set of Michelin CrossClimate2 all weather tires to tackle the upcoming Colorado winter. Ride seems a bit more firm, in a generally good way. Seems just as quiet on most surfaces, and from prior experience with these on my other cars, I know the trend to get a bit quiter after an initial break in period.

Pros: ride seems more firm

I would recommend a different front if that's your goal - maybe the Vittoria Barzo or the Continental Cross-King. They're both handling-oriented tires rather than pure speed, but don't really give up a lot on the speed front... like the Rekon does.

Pros: handling-oriented tires
Cons: not pure speed

I switched out to Cross Climate 2s , from Connecticut up to Portland was probably  some of the worst snow I've ever had to drive in. They felt Incredible. I drive on the highway every day here and in thunderstorms it's nothing but confidence.

Pros: felt incredible

Conti tires are great on cars. I always get their all-season Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+ for my suv's because they are rated like a 10 on rain and even an 8 in the snow, which is amazing for an all season that's not dedicated to snow. Plus they have a 70k mile warranty.

Pros: great on cars, amazing in rain/snow
Mileage: 70000 km

I noticed some articles say they were designed for wet weather and where I live is very dry, so I am going to get Michelin Defender 2s this time.

Pros: good for wet weather
Cons: not good for dry weather
