Tires MICHELIN or Hankook

After almost 3000 miles with my new Hankook tires, you can see the Wh/m difference from lifetime. 228.8 vs 254.5. to me that's a significant improvement. I also like that they are a tad bit quieter.

I love them on my Passat. I also love doing 70 in snowstorms, don’t think you get many of those in Texas

I had these on my V90 for 3 years. Fantastic all-season tire that worked great in the snow during ski trips. Pretty quite at highway and wore great. If not driving in snow/ice I think it's overkill but 100% would buy again.

The Michelin Energy Savers are great, and I never had a budget tyre come close.

I replaced mine this year and went with the Defender 2, not sure if you’ve considered them instead of the CrossClimate2. Love them so far, very quiet and smooth, and I find they handle water way better than the stock Nexens.

Michellin is always the go-to high end rubber for those who are flying with cash. Pilot Sport Cup 2/2R or Pilot Sport 4S for the wet. Pilot 4S I think is one of the best regarded tire in wet conditions & generally an amazing all-rounder.

We may have to send your original tires to a museum as the longest lasting Michelin Energy Savers!

If you live in South Texas in an area that gets a lot of rain I would say that you will get excellent traction with these. I live in Houston, and we get LOTS of rain and hurricanes etc. I have these on my Lincoln MKS (big heavy AWD sedan) because I previously lived in Colorado and needed the three peak rated tires for the snow. If I was living here when I needed new tires I probably wouldn’t have gotten them, but I have NEVER had a traction issue driving even at higher speeds in heavy downpours. Feels like a dry road to me.

My Road 6 barely lasted 13,000 miles.

I was impressed by the performance. They didn't last as long as everyone had hyped them to be.

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.
