Tires MICHELIN or Falken

Back when I was in college (2001) there was a guy in my class who tested tires in a lab. This was around the time Ford SUV's would flip over, thanks Firestone. He said he would test tires at high speed, different weighs, and tire pressures to test longevity. I asked him which tires were best. He said he couldn't tell me because of confidentiality laws. I asked him which tires he puts on his wife's minivan, and he said he would *only* put Michelin tires on his wife's car.

Always been a bi Michelin fan - never been done wrong with them. They cost a little more, but the ride and quiet are worth it to me. My X5 is right at the 70,000 mile mark with the set of Defender LTX I have on it, and I'd imagine another set is going on right behind them.

michelin pilot sport 4s best tires ever made

I've been looking at the Toyo NanoEnergy3 for about £200 fitted, but also saw I could get the Falken SN832 for around £240 fitted.

So I had Michelin Xclimates front and rear. After 31,000 miles, I unfortunately got a puncture in my front right after hitting a ratchet strap :(

At the time (5 years ago) £125 a tyre was definitely worth it for ~31,000 miles.

I changed the fronts with a set of Xclimate 2s. They’re expensive yeah… but they work.

Absolutely worth it. Mine feels so much better in wet weather, and it barely affected the fuel economy over the eco-tyres I had before.

Yes, good tyres are absolutely worth the money when you need them.

Try Maxxis AP3's, they're dirt cheap and nearly as good as the Michelin Cross climates. I've genuinely been impressed by that specific Maxxis tyre, on my 3rds set now.

Have experience with Kumho vs Michelin pilots 4s.

Similar price (ish). Kumho are rubbish. Completely changed the handling of the car for the better when I went on the pilots.

You wont get mileage though.

Your studs look super worn out and those tires are crap anyway dude. In Finland, you dont cheap out on a set of winter tires.
