Tires MICHELIN or Maxxis

The D2s are doing better on dry surfaces and who knows if they'll see snow.

I went to Michelin Defender, they weigh a bit more but still do well in the snow/ice and get better mileage on the highway.

i love my pilot sport a/s 4 specifically for rain. my stock tires had zero grip. they also have lasted a very long time

I loved the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s they’re great but come with a big price tag, I’d highly recommend the extreme contact sports.

Michelin xda2 holds up pretty good on our hydrovacs running in mud and rock

I have the defenders, and I love them. The stock tire hydroplaning is gone. Mpg good, traction good and wear like iron.

All I buy anymore is Michelin. X-Ice Snows on the factory wheels and 4S on the summer wheels. I’ve never had another brand offer the same level of grip while lasting forever.

I'm going with Michelin X-Ice on 16" Touren TR60 Wheels this season. Should fare well, I've had good results with X-Ice in the past.

I switched from Road 4 to Road 6. I used both tires for around 2 years and 25,000 km, and went back to Road 4 (I wasn’t looking for Road 4, it was in stock and around %30 cheaper). In my experience, the cold grip on Road 4 is much better, and even after they heat up, Road 4 still feels like it has better grip. Additionally, I noticed that the bike pulled slightly to the left with Road 6.

Wasn't my experience at all. About six months ago I replaced the OEM Geolanders on my 2018 Crosstrek with CrossClimate 2 tires. By the time drove 15 minutes home I knew that there I didn't like what I was experiencing with the CrossClimates. They were noisier, jittery, mushy and didn't track like the Geolanders. I wrote it off as being new. They did an alignment and wheel balance during installation. I am not an aggressive driver but the interstate on ramp that I use all the time I could enter at 50mph and stay at 50. I had to brake use the Michelins. Also I lost 3 mpg compared to the Geolanders.
