Tires MICHELIN or Maxxis

I have recently installed michelin cross climate 2 and I am very happy with them. It is well worth the investment.

Personally I have Michelin crossclimate+ on my prius (they don't have crossclimate 2 in my size) and love them.

Michelin. Always Michelin.

The only time I've ever hydroplaned was on Goodyears.

I returned them with no problem and bought pilot sport all seasons. They arrived in good shape with mfg date of March this year ????

I've gone from XR4s to DHR/DHF. If there is an increase in rolling resistance, the only place I think I notice it is when I'm on a very gentle downward slope, and I wonder if I'd accelerate due to gravity a little faster on the XR4s. On the other hand, when I'm doing steep technical climbing in the saddle, and putting down the kind of power that made the XR4 lose traction, the DHR has never spun out.

Having ridden the XR5, XR/SE4, DHF, DHR2, Dissector the XR5 is closest to the DHR2 3C EXO. If you liked the XR5 as a front, you'll get along really well with the DHR2.

Looks like the dhr2/aggressor would be the closest match looking at the tread and tread size. You could go with the slightly slower (contentious claim on here) but more common front dhf/aggressor. I prefer the dhr2 over the dhf but giving the assegai a try once trails are opened here.

Edit: I run a DHF/Dissector combo, grippy in the front, speedier but still grippy in the rear.

My TLX came with Michelin Primacy A/S tires and they were very quiet . They were not grippy enough for my liking though, so I ditched them for the Continental DWS06+.

Honestly, the Michelins are generally more recommended here over the Conti's... and after 35k on my 99, the best thing I ever did was get rid of the frickin Michelins, and replaced 'em with Bridgestone Potenza's... SOOOO much better wet traction
