Tires MICHELIN or MRF

Factory tires are extremely mid. If you'll be driving in harsh weather conditions you should plan on upgrading them. I put Michelin CrossClimate 2s on mine and am very happy with them all year round.

x-ice on another FWD SUV and they did well.

Had the Michelin X Ice on my gen 1 for a few seasons. They worked great.

I had Defenders on my 2010 Escape. Loved them and they were so quiet rolling down the road.

I downsized to 275/65r18 Michelin Defenders. Mpg and handling/noise are much improved. Close to 19 around town and 21 on the Hwy.

I just got out of the Pirelli Scorpions and into Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUVs. AMAZING tire! First time in a long time I'm not running all season tires and the car sticks so well in corners it's mind boggling. Cabin is around 60dB at Interstate highway speeds.

I also replaced them with Cross Climate 2s as soon as I could. Took me a month but sold the set for $300 with 99 miles on them

I would suggest replacing those tires (this applies to model 3 and y) with a Michelin pilot sport 4s if you live in warmer climates and Michelin pilot sport 4A/S for people who experience temperatures below 10 degrees for more than a few days of winter. The acoustic foam adds unsprung weight to the wheel and beside the pilot sports are far stickier and much softer ride. And better performance in every category.

I have those on my c63S. They are ok, but I feel the same about the Michelin offering as well. All seasons suck. Not as much wet or dry grip, louder then summers. But they are cheaper and last longer.

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.
