Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

This is a common question in the sub and you’ll generally hear a lot of recommendations for newer all weather tires such as Michelin CrossClimate 2 or Bridgestone Weatherpeak (installed on mine). These are premium all weather on road tires that’ll do pretty well in light/moderate snow and very good touring performance.

The E rated tire will ride ever so slightly harder, but the drastically increased life will make up for that.

Can't recommend Michelin CrossClimate 2's enough. Has been perfect in all weather for me including freezing cold, snow, wet, and summer temps. They are not noisy and wear well.

Michelin CrossClimate2 staggered 20” on my FE. Superb tires. Quiet, smooth, insane levels of grip wet or dry. No loss of range in the winter, haven’t seen warm weather yet to judge summer range. I’m fine with giving up range for performance.

Michelin is a great tire, higher price range but worth it if you got the dough.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4, great daily tire, all season but incredible grip.

DH22 are indestructible, grippy, and tread holds up but they're very heavy and slow rolling (like noticably slow)

Dude. Michelin DH22.

The DH casing is stronger than continentals. It's bulletproof. Grip and mud clearing are leagues ahead of anything maxxis have.

Used these on my explorer. Had to replace 3 in the first 3 months. After that, had no problems for 4 years. Had some on my f150, and swapped them for some nitto grapplers and wished I didn't. 95% of my truck driving is on the freeway. They are just so loud and the mpg is 2 to 3 mpg less. The defenders did so much better in the snow on paved roads.

I personally didn't like Michelin tires when I was a tire technician, but I won't discount their strengths. The biggest problem with Michelin tires is dry rot, I don't recommend them if the car sits for long periods outside.
