Tires MICHELIN or Hankook

I’ve had Michelins for 8 months now with zero issues.

CrossClimate2 are great on our 19 Pilot, we have about 25k miles on them. Rain only, no snow experience with them.

Michelin never lets me down. I have had several sets of Conti DWS's on various cars and they always wear out way earlier than they should (treadwear gone in 15K miles on a 30K mile tire). I have had a few sets of Nokians too. Good tires until they aren't. Two sets had sidewall bubbles early. Others developed vibration issues before tread was gone. No real recent experience w/ Bridgestone except one set on a 911 years ago. Get the Michelins.

I use 18” Michelin x-ices in the winter.

I highly recommend Michelin AS4. Excellent all-around tire.

Hankooks seem fine on my 2023 LR, decent tread depth, and grip, seem fairly quiet too.. will see about tread life.

I became a Michelin guy when I had a VW and swapped from Goodyear Eagles and suddenly the car was plush on rough pavement.

Here are the maintenance items (other than routine oil changes) I've encountered over that time: horn contact plate back up light switch cabin filter coolant hose O2 sensors engine oil filler neck high pressure power steering hose alternator and drive belt wiper blades wiring harness battery

I've heard that those Michelin Pilot Sport summer tires wear out quickly but that's ridiculously quick

For what it's worth, my Tiguan came with Hankook Ventus Noble 2 - GARBAGE. Honestly, screw VW for choosing the cheapest RFP'd crap. And screw Hankook for making awful, awful tires - shameful. Gone are the days of VWs being factory equipped with Michelin, Pirelli, and Bridgestone.
