Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

I have a set of Michelin XDN2, going on 250,000 miles and still have between 10 and 12 mm left

I live in Washington state. Michelin cross climate twos are fantastic. Dry roads, heavy, rain, snow ice they do it all.

I have 235/60R18 tires on new wheels with x-Ice snow tires and this is my 3rd winter. I don't believe the tires cause much if any range loss as they are narrower than stock. My overall winter range loss is about 12%, 250 watts per mile versus 285..

Anvelopele all season de la michelin chiar sunt bune, la urmatorul set chiar ma gandesc si eu sa trec pe all season avand in vedere ca nu au mai fost ierni asa de grele in ultimii ani.

Recently picked up my 2026 1LT, immediately had Michelin Alpin PA4's mounted. Lots of fun.

My wife has crossclimates on her Q7 and they are amazing. Much better than her previous all seasons.

I love my CrossClimate tires. Lived here my whole life and when I got them 2 years ago it was a game changer. Would highly recommend.

If I want a long lasting all terrain truck tire it's usually the Michelin LTX AT2. They're expensive but the cost justifies their longevity.

Picked up a new set of Cross Climate 2’s over the weekend. Handling is great, especially in the rain. Aesthetically, I think they look super cool and unique. They have an aggressive look to them.

That being said, I did not do my due diligence beforehand and let the guy at discount t*re give me the run down on them. One thing he failed to mention was the lack of efficiency they bring (not blaming him). In my first couple of drives I noticed my wh/mi to be well over 300 and in one instance on a 5 mile drive it was 395 wh/mi. Crazy! This is in comparison to my average of 252 wh/mi for the last 5k miles I’ve driven. It’s important to note that I like to accelerate fast and have had the heat on due to the cold weather coming in (Chicago native).

I wanted to see how much of a difference it made if I changed my driving habits so for the past 15 miles or so. I turned “chill” mode on and turned off the AC system and have averaged around 210 wh/mi. Nice to know that efficiency is still attainable just a bit sad that I will be losing 30%+ of range when driving how I normally do.

Hoping that with time they will break in and I will see that number go down a bit. I will update the thread as I put more miles on them.

Are they Michelins perchance? The worst effin tires for dry rot, I only bought them once in my life.
