Tires MICHELIN or Firestone

Im a MI driver and these tires have been a game changer for me driving through snow. I bought these around October last year and they were such a boon during this winter relative to my previous all season tires.

3 vehicles with 3 sets of Michelin CC2s (mine, wife, daughter).

Best tires I’ve ever rode one.

Smooth, traction, no road noise, great wet traction, and overall grip.

Best tires I’ve owned. 40k miles on current set at still have 7/32 tread left

Wife has them on her GLK350. They are a great tire!

I’m in Cincinnati, we have all climates here, I put them on my Avalon. I noticed a few things, gas mileage dropped 4 mpg, they plowed thru rain puddles with no hydroplaning, no problem with snow, wear is good. No slipping other than pulling away from wet stop lines painted on the roadway. Love them.

Alright Michelin all season sport 4 is great for all weather driving. I put 151k miles on my S8 and put new Michelins on it every 35k miles (so like 2200 in tires every 18 months lol) they were 265 21” tires. Worth every penny did well in rain too

Those Michelin’s are excellent in pretty much every climate. I live in the desert and the direct grooves allow the tire to stay cool and they perform great in wet weather. Worth every penny.

Michelin Defender 2 is what I have and love them on my 2024 Honda CR-V

I also have the Defender 2 though I didn't quite make as deliberate a choice. I jumped a curve in a parking lot and did sidewall damage (some metal bit on a storm drain) to my stock tires, and I had the car towed to Discount Tire and the Defender 2 was the only good option in stock at the time.

Perso j'ai une expérience assez bof niveau espérance de vie dans le temps, j'ai jamais acheté de Michelin en neuf (sauf pour ma bécane, j'ai pas voulu jouer avec une sous-marque) mais j'ai eu plusieurs fois des Michelin d'occasion, disons "proches de la date de péremption", et j'ai remarqué qu'ils ont une forte tendance à craqueler, plus que d'autres marques moins prestigieuses.
