Tires MICHELIN or KENDA

Used Kenda KM-1 tires. 100% highway/street commuting miles. I got 25,000 miles usage on the rear tire! I highly recommend this tire.

Yep. Mine went down too. Seems like 5 to 10%. But I love the tires. Very quiet. Do great in rain and snow.

Michelin city grips are elite and shouldn’t be in the same convo as the other two. They’re in a whole different bracket. Best tire you can get for the Navi hands down.

2020 highlander platinum here, original tires were shitty in Nova Scotia downpours. Got cross climate twos and won’t use anything else.

I lost <10% mpg on my 2009 HiHy when I went to the CC2. I figure 2-3mpg less isn’t that terrible if you drill down on the math and the added safety and in my case improved stance/looks is worth the small cost difference.

If you go with the cheaper of the two options, get the Kenda Kozmik's. They're similar to the Michelin City Grips and have the same dual compound tread. I've never had any problems with them and they've lasted well over 6000 miles, they hold the road in wet weather and do okay in light snow.

Kenda tyres also in Australia and these aren’t a cheap crappy brand. The R/T & M/T have a very durable casing and are good value for money

I had cross climate 2s in my previous vehicle and my van. I will be putting them on my Crosstrek as soon as the current tires wear out. They are pretty great tires.

Switching this week from Kumho Ecsta PS91 on 20" Induction wheels to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 on 18" RTX Spider wheels. Will search for a phone app to plot accelerometer output and do a tit-for-tat comparison on a couple of bad local roads.

Cross Climates are very noisy. Thats just how they are
