MICHELIN Tires

  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.0

Mine wore out at 45k. So I went with really long warranty tires (Turanza EV has 50k, and I think michellin has one thats like 60k). Yah you really want the warranty tires.

Pros: long warranty
Cons: wore out quickly
Mileage: 72420 km

MICHELIN Tires

I got around 23k miles from my continentals. I switched to the Michelin defender AT tire and I'm going on 60k miles with tread left. Insignificant impact on range.

Pros: long lifespan, insignificant impact
Mileage: 96560 km

MICHELIN Tires

That's my recommendation having just swapped my 18" Michelins for winter prep with 4/32, 49,000 miles on them, balanced/aligned 2x in their lifespan (1 when I got it, they came with the car, 2 at 7,000 miles)

Pros: long lifespan
Mileage: 78858 km

Kumho Tires

It seems the Kumho scores higher in wet conditions, while the dry performance is quite similar to the Toyo.

Pros: higher in wet conditions
Cons: dry performance similar

Kumho Tires

HS52 is pretty solid, given the recent balance between Kumho and Toyo I would expect it to outperform the Toyo.

Pros: pretty solid

These are cool looking... notably the tires are not as good for street riding and you can replace them with those sweet michelin city grips. The brake pads are also not so thick on these so keep an eye on them.

Pros: cool looking
Cons: tires not good, brake pads thin

I came here looking for advice on other tire brands because I just got back from a garage after having a Michelin Primacy blowout, at speed, on the interstate, come to find that blowouts are pro rated. I only have 20k on these tires and that’s fuckin’ bullshit.

Cons: blowout at speed
Mileage: 20000 km
