Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

I went up a sidewall size and got 255/45ZR20 (stock is 255/40) to replace my original set on my 2021 Y. I read people saying that they still fit and improved the ride a bit. I always thought ride with the 20” tires was a bit rough. They do fit and the ride did improve a bit.

Edit: forgot to mention I got Michelin Pilot Sport All Season. Only had them 5 months or so but they’ve been great so far. Foamless and a bit louder at first but not too bad and I got used to it quickly. Don’t notice anymore.

ive had 2 teslas , both performance models. first tesla came with michelin ps4 -- second tesla ( 2022) came with pirelli. quickly sold the pirellis for the ps4s.

update: got the michelins and Im happy with my purchase, feels a little slippy on turns but I have mostly all control unless I go faster than usual.

Easy answer: Costco membership + Michelin Cross Climates. Exceptional tires, you’ll notice them on a lot of vehicles once you know what to look for.

I drive on Michelin pilot sport 4 or 4s for summer and these are superb tires.

Currently have their All-weathers Kumho HA 32. Snowed a ton in BC and having no issues on plowed roads and sidestreets. Handles much better in rain than my OEM Bridgestone Ecopias. Burns ~10-15% more gas in comparison thou.

Spend the extra $ and get the Kuhmos. Kumho Ecsta PA51 is pretty good for a budget UHP tire. It does seem a bit weak on winter traction though….

I wanted to report on the cross Climate michelin tires. My wife and I just put a set I'm her GMC Acadia 4 wheel 2 wheel and all wheel drive. we live in Michigan  and i have to say they are by far the best tires I've ever tested in the snow.

Michelin had 2 models in the Pilot series - Sporty and Street Radial. The Street Radial was excellent, while the Indian made Sporty was horrible.

The Kumho are crap in the rain. I was facing hydroplaning issues within a week of buying the car.

The did do it in a decently controlled way but I have not been impressed with the stock tires at all. Not to mention I have 20k on them and about 10% of tread left.
