Tires MICHELIN or DEXTER

I have been driving for about a month on Michelin Defenders (21"; purchased/installed at Costco) and will never go back to the Pirellis. Quieter for road travel, good handling, minimal difference in range

I ran the Michelins for 8 winters here in BC. They are an excellent tire. Good in rain, snow and ice (ice performance degraded after about the third season).

I moved from the continental EV tires to Michelin cross contact and had about a 10% increase in consumption… part due to tires part due to how much better they felt and I pushed more

The best of those is Michelin Cross climate.

I have the cross Climates on my 19 Forester. I love them. I can’t wait for snow.

Joining the rest of folks here to say that it’s worth it to switch to the CC2s. They are superior in every way. Road noise is not an issue in my experience at all.

Not sure why he would suggest an inferior tire. The Cross Climate 2 are an excellent all weather tire

The GY were ok and did their job but were no where close to being as good as the Comfortread they replaced.

The CC2’s so far are amazing. Great wet and dry traction, smooth and quiet on the highway.

Weather peaks have garbage treadlife. CC2 is obviously a top contender. I would go CC2 for true all weather or WRG5s for better winter performance and slightly worse summer performance

My experience with the PS4S has not been very good. My PS4Ss blistered after two track weekends: Thunderhill West and Buttonwillow. They just don’t have the sidewall support you need as you speed up.
