Tires MICHELIN or Hankook

Little late to this thread. But my wife had Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires on her Ford Explorer when she bought it new. They are a high mileage compound tire. And she got every bit of 75,000 miles out of them over 5 years. No major or noticeable loss of grip, did fairly well in the rain, even at the end.

Ditch the Geolanders and get Michelin CrossClimate2 tires.

CrossClimates are a much better tire in my experience and opinion. They are stiffer and less soft, much more sporty feel but with balance. I felt like I had less control with a boaty steering feel on the Weatherpeaks.

Night and day with Michelin Snow X tires though. Now, I prefer it over our 4x4 truck for many snow situations (except in fresh snow fall cases where bumper clearance is an issue).

Normal tires were all-season Michelins. It was like night and day on the Blizzaks. My car was on rails when I wasn't driving like a turd. I plowed a couple food-deep right turn lanes that hadn't been touched in an 08 A4 (quattro, ofc) with no problem.

Cross climate twos put them on My 2020 back in October. They've been really good so far. Haven't really tried them in heavy snow yet. But dry weather there very quiet and ride. Very good in wet weather they handle very good so far. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Just took my cc2 in the snow the other day and they rip. Honestly shocked how good they are. Also great in the wet and spirited dry driving

These are the Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Went up slightly to 265/65/18 with no rubbing!

My vehicle spends 99.9% of the time on surface roads, so road manners are incredibly important. However, I do plan to do some very light off-roading (Big Bend NP) in the near future, so I wanted something a little bit more capable than the OEM tires. Not to mention, I think the original tires were meant for a slightly lighter vehicle, as evidenced by the fact that they were beginning to show significant wear around the 20,000 mile range.

I have the Michelin MXM4 my 2022 Model 3. I have about 25,000 miles on the tires and I am told I will need to replace them in a few thousand miles.

Just had my Michelin LTX (world’s ugliest tire) in for an attempted rebalance and they told me after a couple tries the same day that they’re shaped like a boiled egg cut in half. Tech did what he could but ultimately I’m getting new tires.
