Tires MICHELIN or Cooper

On my wife's truck in the summer she likes quieter tires so Michelin Defenders, but she gets the same Winterforce LTs in the winter.

I’ve been pleased with Cooper tires over the years. Both vehicles I have right now have Coopers on them.

I switch to Michelin x-ice in the winter. There\u2019s always going to be that \u201cjust drive better\u201d snob that acts like winters are a waste but at least once a year they slam on their brakes in snow and for a brief few seconds they wish they had winters on.

I got the Michelin CC2s, I can testify they are amazing tires and perform VERY well in winter driving.

Michelin cross climate 2 are amazing and amongst the best year round all weather tire. Great in Midwest snow and cold temps along. It\u2019s a great tire and a top seller for a reason.

For a CB7 that you want to daily and take on touge-style runs, I\u00a0d honestly move away from the Kenda UHPs and into something that gives you real grip without the noise and cupping issues. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is still the benchmark in the ~300tw category way quieter, noticeably better mid-corner stability, and it doesn\u2019t get greasy after a few hard pulls the way cheaper 300tw tires do. You also get much better wet braking, which matters on an older chassis.

Was able to adjust just fine with careful driving and proper tires (you can even get the Michelin CC2s which are great up here in the snow and don\u2019t require swapping out each season).

I'd just get a good set of all-season tires if you need them (Michelin cross climate are the gold standard)

They have great traction in the rain and snow. On the other hand they’re fairly loud, compared to most other all weather tires you’ll likely see up to a 5%-10% drop in fuel economy(traction comes with a cost), and ride quality and handling are mediocre at best. Whether the great traction is worth it is your decision.

Hey, I have a Michelin set from 2018 and they are hard like hockey pucks. I don’t run on them cause I have another set that I’m on.
