Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

Treated it with the new Michelin cross climate 3 sport wich improved handling a lot. Was a little worried about comfort but it’s not as bad as I thought.

Personal, pe un Q5 cu stage 1 la 230 de cai (si o conduita preventiva) nu am avut absolut nicio problema cu Michelin CrossClimate2 atat iarna cat si vara.

Michelin has god level comfort and wet braking. My honda jazz came with Michelin XM2. The problem is due to softer compound. It lasts lesser kms. I have to change mine around 35k kms.

Due to some import restrictions, I was unable to find 195 60 Michelin so asked trye shops. Almost everyone recommended Yoko for city rough road use. I use Yokohoma now and though its not as good as Michelin its defined better than MRF Bridgestone used in my relatives car.

Using the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and the ride has been phenomenal until now. Amazing grip and silent too on high speeds. Just that they're quite expensive compared to other brands. Currently done 30k kms on them. Had a sidewall rupture once which fortunately got covered under warranty.

Yes, avoid budget brands. I had Laufenn winter tires as my first set on my 2018 Odyssey. Before those ran out, I switched to Michelin winter tires and the difference was night and day.

I have CC2 and the before and after is night and day. We have them on other vehicles also, they are my go to, but the difference on this vehicle is crazy. It handles like a totally different vehicle. I felt like a bobblehead with the stock tires, not anymore.

Went and got some Michelin Cross Climate 2. Took around a 12% range penalty, but they are so much better than the stock. I’ve noticed how much better the traction is, I’ve hit objects with no problem, and they’re holding up well.

I do rate and recommend the TA51a, which carries a composite score of 62 in their "All Season Tires" testing category, just beating out the Falken Aklimate. The RT45, came in two spots above, at a score of 63 and again with their recommendation.

Seeing as I am preparing to have to swap them out at 30,000kms I would say they may be one of the worst tires on the market. I do have them (stock) on my EV9 which I have driven relatively gently. Reached out to their warranty department and they refuse to work with me. I don't really want to spend 1500 on a product that drastically underperforms.
