Tires MICHELIN or Maxxis

I’ve had my CC2 for just over 20k and have had zero issues. Still great wet & dry traction. Also, smooth and quiet on the highway.

I run Goodyear F1 Eagles in the summer, and in late October swap over to 3PMSF all-season Michelin cross-climates. The all-seasons have a much better wear tolerance for the occasions where we have 15C in the middle of winter. My Audi only has about 320 BHP, but in the snow / ice, I do not want to be using summer tyres. Equally in the summer, I want to be able to push it on rural roads in Devon without trashing all-seasons.

The cross climates don’t have best grip for handling but are ok … but they are just safer in colder weather especially with kids in the car.

Been on 32mm pro 5’s since August and I’ve been very impressed for using them for general riding. In terms of endurance tires they feel incredibly fast and grippy. No punctures even though they are on the lighter end of endurance tire offerings.

Mióta megvan az autó (3 éve) négyévszakos abroncsok vannak alatta. Először Hankook volt, tavaly kapott Michelin Crossclimate gumikat.

Mentem már vele tükörjégen, szakadó hóesésben, most a letakarítatlan 20 centis hóban is. Nem mondom, hogy itt-ott nem csusszant meg, de nem volt eddig semmi gond vele.

A few months ago I replaced an old set of [Panracer Gravel King Slick+] 35mm and butyl tubes with the [Michelin Pro5] 35mm with TPU tubes.

Very happy with the performance, they genuinely feel faster, which they are according to [bicyclerollingresistance] they are.

I’d go with the Michelin Defenders. I bought a set of Michelin X Tour A/S 2s (Costco version of Defender 2s) back in April 2023, and after almost 3 years and 70k miles, there’s still plenty of tread left on them. They’ve lasted twice as long as my previous tires now, even with regular rotations.

Michelin defender 2 easily out of those options. It has been a tire that has consistently lasted over 80k miles in 4 of my families vehicles, all with different drivers but regular rotations at Costco. Also has very low rolling resistance so youll save fuel.

So I settled for Defenders, which are fine.

ripped the brand new OEM tires off my 22 EUV maybe 30 days after I took delivery, put on a set of Cross Climate 2's

That was about 56,000 miles ago, probably buying another set of CC2's early next year.

It could be 80F outside with damp asphalt and the OEM tires would struggle for grip, they are that bad.
