Tires MICHELIN or Giti

My 2024 ST has Michelin Premier A/S, which is something I've bought a few times a few times in the past for previous vehicles.

I swapped them for Michelin CrossClimate 2, which at the time were the best tires, at 300 miles on the odometer. Sold the Bridgestone tires for $400 and never looked back. Now clicking over at 60000 and those tires still have tread and tracked fantastically in the snow this past winter.

Get Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. First time it rains you will see the money was well spent. Best tires I have owned in 33 years of driving.

My 2020 prime got 65k out of originals. The Michelin defenders though i get an average of 130k.

I can personally recommend Michelin cross climate 2 tires. Like it’s on rails and no hydroplaning

Replaced the stock pzeros on my RS6 with Michelin PS4S and love them!

I run Michelin Cross Climate 2’s and they are my favorite all time tire. In my area we get snow but not so much that I **need** dedicated snow tires. I had them on previous cars and with the CC2’s I never felt the need. I love them so much. Awesome tread pattern, great handling, I feel so well connected to the road. They are the tiniest bit louder than my previous but now years later I don’t notice it or think about it.

this spring i bought michelin cross climate 2’s for a 3rd gen CRV and am very happy. i looked at the defender 2 but since i do some gravel/dirt roads in the summer the cross climate has a much better tread design

Our CrossClimates after being fitted mid-2020. The outers are at 3mm, and the inner 4mm. Over 30k miles. Seems acceptable to me. Ours are on a Freelander 2/LR2, so a relatively heavy vehicle.

I’ve had these for about 18 months / 15K miles on my 18’ AWD LX and I can’t say I’m a fan. Although they are amazing in the rain. I ironically wish for rain sometimes for longer trips because they drive SO much better on wet pavement compared to dry.

- The road noise is ridiculous on an AWD model.

- They’re wearing very fast for tires with only 15K.

- Drop in fuel efficiency once installed (~2MPG drop).

- Rocks, twigs, and everything else you can imagine get stuck in the grooves and can lead to a rough ride.
