Tires MICHELIN or Cooper

Replaced stock toyos after about 6k miles on my ‘22 with Michelin CC2s.

Subjectively quieter, softer ride, and performs better in snow/wet.

I'm happy with my Michelin cross climate. In Minneapolis. They're okay in the snow. Good in wet and dry.

Swapped my hankooks for the defenders last year.

Best tire hands down is the defender. It’s quiet, grippy, wears well. Won’t buy anything else for the summer seasons (run dedicated winters).

After several months with the Pilot A/S 4 tires, all is well. No blowouts, sidewall bubbles or bent rims. You can tell the difference the XL tires make. At first I thought I detected a little rougher ride but soon afterwards I am fine with the ride. Tire noise on certain surfaces is a little louder but overall fine. We will see how it goes with winter coming on, north of Philadelphia.

For winter tires the ice-x by Michelin are fantastic. But I was not impressed with the stock tires especially in heavy rain.

This is my second season rocking the pilot alpin 5’s with no issues. Only issue I have is with the design of the induction wheels: they trap snow inside the wheel and if it sinks to the bottom surface when you’re parked, it can freeze and cause a bad vibration because it puts the wheels off balance.

Went for CC2's - and I cannot complain so far. Haven't had the first real strong snow day, but they have been good in wet conditions so far.

Just had the Cross Climate 2s installed and I am loving them. Smoother, quieter ride. Everything I've watched and read about them having great wet/dry, and amazing snow traction is totally accurate.

I warrantied my OEM set (replaced at 14k miles) and never contacted michelin myself, just went to discount tire and inquired about it with them. As for the tires wearing out after 14k miles: I did do some occasional aggressive driving, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Evenly worn all around and rotated every 5k.

I bought the RS3-G1s in 205/55R16 for my 2016 Sportwagen (stock was 225/40R18, have also had 195/65R15 snow tires and 195/65R15 LRR all seasons on it) - and they are EXTREMELY rough riding tires compared to any of the other tires, including the 18" P-Zero Neros. I almost pulled the wheels and tires off and listed them for sale within the first 500 miles. I had specifically gone 16" as a reasonable compromise of tire selection, price, looks, comfort, and gas mileage as the 18's had been a ~4MPG hit compared to the 15s, but any dreams of comfort went out the window with the Coopers. YMMV, but I wouldn't buy these again and regret doing so.
