Tires MICHELIN or Hifly

MICHELIN Tires

The previous owners kept the brakes flushed and the oil changed right on schedule. It had a water pump at replaced at 70k, spark plugs at 60k(getting time for that again), and the normal 80k service with the rear end inspected and new fluid. It has some Michelin Pilots with most of the tread left.

Pros: Michelin Pilots tread left
Vehicle: Lexus LS
Mileage: 70000 km

I just swapped my original Conti's out for Michelin Pilot Sport AS4's (225/45ZR18). Ride is quieter than the Conti's, and grip seems better, too...but that may be due to new tires vs mileage on the old ones.

Pros: quieter ride, better grip

The CC2s are fantastic, I don’t think I actually lost much range with them more than I fitted them when it was colder. Snow, ice, rain they are amazing. Never had an issue with grip. Only reason I’ll go back to the sports is longevity at higher temps and deluging rain grip.

Pros: fantastic, amazing grip
Cons: longevity at temps

I have them and so far very happy with the purchase. I use them for every day driving there’s been no big impact on range or road noise.

Pros: happy with purchase
Cons: no big impact

Yes to range drop, also yes to great performance in the snow, ice, and rain. My typical drive takes 15% to get home now, where it used to take 12%. They are relatively new (2 months), so break in may alleviate some of that.

I've been over the pass in the Sierra Nevada twice with them on (both i-80 and hwy 50), plus routine winter driving with snow and ice pretty much daily. Only time I've felt any wiggle is goosing it through a corner when nobody is around, just to get a feel for the handling. It recovers very gracefully.

Pros: great performance in snow
Cons: range drop

My caution about Michelin cross climates is the noise and the performance out of snow/rain. It is funny to watch people switch from cross climates to winter tires because they're the same.

Pros: good wet, snow performance
Cons: noise, performance out
