Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

We have had Michelin Defenders on both ours they ride and handle like no other tire I’ve had.

the cross clime2 are really good tires had them on my van for a couple of years they are a little louder but are almost as good as mich ice on snow and ice and better in rain.

I second the kumhos v730. For the price they are pretty hard to beat. They don’t heat up as fast as ao52’s but the grip level is similar and they last longer

I have NC Miata and run Kumho V730s as a track and autocross tire. Might be like 0.5 sec off the fastest tire over a 60 sec course and holds up well on track.

I replaced the stock Michelin Energy Saver set with Michelin Defender2 last year. Never going back.

Definitely better grip and handling, especially when wet. There was an impact to range but it was pretty negligible.

Pick up some Michelin Cross Climate 2’s. Triple peak snow rated, 60k miles, and perform well even in the heat.

I bought all weather Michelin cross climate2 tires. I don’t want to have 2 sets of tires. I live in southern Ontario and we get snow yes but roads are generally taken care of well and I don’t go North at all.

I bought Kumho a/s for the first time this summer and I am very happy with them so far.

CrossClimates are good in winter but take a penalty in MPG & noise because of that benefit (the 2 biggest complaints in reviews).

Those winter tires are gonna get absolutely destroyed if you're driving them in 50+ degree weather. Not to mention it's one of those garbage Chinese tires on top of things.
