Tires MICHELIN or Hankook

Put on the Michelins cross climate 2 and forget about any slippage in snow or hydroplaning in rain for the next 60 K miles.

I love my Hankook Ions, my MYP had the Pirelli Pzeros as my original set.

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned is the road noise and how much quieter the drive is.

I’ve had both and the biggest difference I saw was the range hit. I was the sole driver so no difference in driving style - MPS AS4’s were 10% worse. Loved them but would go with the Hankooks were I to do it again.

Really like our Pilot 4. Really grippy on dry, and very confident in the rain. I got on top of them a little and they held fine on wet pavement.

The Hankooks are slightly softer absorbing a smidge more of the road. Noise difference between the 2 isn't noticeable at all. The Hankooks are slightly more efficient, lifetime on the Michelins is 306whm and the Hankooks are 297whm(tracked via TeslaMate).

I’ve got CC2 on my wife’s MDX and Cooper Discoverer RT’s on my Ram 1500. I feel very confident driving both in any conditions

I got exact same tires as yours, Michelin Defender LTX 275/65R18 at Costco two years ago, about $1200. Pricy but nice tires.

Michelin Cross Climate 2 are great in the rain/wet. Very happy with them.

I still prefer my Michelin LTXs. Got over 50k miles on them and just now noticing traction issues.

These tires are a death trap in snow. In a heavy wet snow the snow collects in the treads to create a flat, slick surface allowing the tire to slide before stopping. On a hill it's even worse. They work ok on wet surfaces.
