Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

The Michelin Energy Savers are great, and I never had a budget tyre come close.

I replaced mine this year and went with the Defender 2, not sure if you’ve considered them instead of the CrossClimate2. Love them so far, very quiet and smooth, and I find they handle water way better than the stock Nexens.

Michellin is always the go-to high end rubber for those who are flying with cash. Pilot Sport Cup 2/2R or Pilot Sport 4S for the wet. Pilot 4S I think is one of the best regarded tire in wet conditions & generally an amazing all-rounder.

We may have to send your original tires to a museum as the longest lasting Michelin Energy Savers!

If you live in South Texas in an area that gets a lot of rain I would say that you will get excellent traction with these. I live in Houston, and we get LOTS of rain and hurricanes etc. I have these on my Lincoln MKS (big heavy AWD sedan) because I previously lived in Colorado and needed the three peak rated tires for the snow. If I was living here when I needed new tires I probably wouldn’t have gotten them, but I have NEVER had a traction issue driving even at higher speeds in heavy downpours. Feels like a dry road to me.

I have been using michellin primacy 4ST since 35k on my car 4-5 years ago. Covered 40k till now they are still good for another 20-30k and they have made the car very quiet and much better to handle.

I did a lot of research while changing my Goodyear Triplemax. Imo, Continental UC6 and Michelin P4 are the best to have. I went for Michelin P4. Great tyre????

Im a MI driver and these tires have been a game changer for me driving through snow. I bought these around October last year and they were such a boon during this winter relative to my previous all season tires.

I recently switched to Michelin Defender 2 tires. Every month I record a monthly average efficiency. Compared to last year I have lost about 10% efficiency.

730s are pretty disappointing as an autocross tire. They thrive on heat, but it’s hard to get them hot enough that they will work well for autox. They are awful in cold weather.
