Tires MICHELIN or Falken

I made the same mistake with an NB I put midrange all weather tires on and I aqua planed as soon as I hit a puddle the cheapest tyre I put on my MX-5S now is Michelin pilot sport I have pilot sport 4s on my NB and pilot sport 5 on my ND well worth the extra money and even in wet weather the cars grip like a beast only down side with my ND on pilot sport 5s is it's really hard to even wheel spin let alone get a nice slide going dam things grip so much.

Michelin Commander 2 or 3 - I put 25k miles on a MC2 on my old sportster - they just fucking last and have decent wet, great dry traction

Never, ever try to save money on tyres!! They're what connects your car to the road, literally the most important part for safety and handling. One of the few parts where I personally go for one of the more expensive models. NO exceptions.

We just put Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all-seasons on our 2022 SEL. Range loss is about 10-15%, highway is worse than around town. Huge improvement in handling and especially wet traction makes it worth it with the winter rains (hopefully) coming.

Interesting.

The tread on these looks a lot like my wildpeak at trail tires in the us. Nothing but good things to say about those in pretty much every condition, so maybe worth a try.

I got x-ice 4 couple years ago and have been really happy

These tires look great! Your pic was the main reason I bought the same for my CX-9 and they look just as great!

I have those on my magnetite gray sport with stock wheels also! About 15K on them and they’re still amazing. Great in the snow, quiet, no walking.

I’d be wary of those defenders, I’ve had a good bit of customers come back with some discomfort and road noise from those tires.

My personal experience: Michelin defender 100.000 miles warranty. Worn to ZERO profile after 35.000 miles. NEVER MORE!
