Tires MICHELIN or KENDA

Michelin defender 2 easily out of those options. It has been a tire that has consistently lasted over 80k miles in 4 of my families vehicles, all with different drivers but regular rotations at Costco. Also has very low rolling resistance so youll save fuel.

I have the AT’s on my cannon and they’ve gotten me places a cannon shouldn’t be going. Worn reasonably. Not sure how RTs go but I recommend Kenda.

With the right tires your golden. Michelin Cross climate are top tier for light snow like this.

If snow tires are an overkill for you just replace OEM tires with Michelin CrossClimate 2. Those will be enough.

The easiest answer is to just get a set of the Michelin Cross Climate 2s (or similar 3-peak all-weathers).

Winter tires are best for you.

* Michelin Cross Climate 2 (I can vouch for these)

My go-to winters are Michelin X-Ice Snow they’re stupid good on ice, stay soft in deep cold, and don’t get noisy like some of the cheaper winter tires do.

I mean if you’re really wanting the best value to enjoy gravel riding on your xc bike, tires tires tires. Find a good deal on some Thunder Burt, raceking/dubnital, kenda rush, air trak/renegade, Aspen st and you’re cooking

I cant speak for the K657 specifically, but I ran a Kenda K761 rear on my CM400. I found that the Kenda tire chipped and fragmented really easily but otherwise was just an OK tire.

ripped the brand new OEM tires off my 22 EUV maybe 30 days after I took delivery, put on a set of Cross Climate 2's

That was about 56,000 miles ago, probably buying another set of CC2's early next year.

It could be 80F outside with damp asphalt and the OEM tires would struggle for grip, they are that bad.
