Tires MICHELIN or NANKANG

I run Michelin Cross Climate 2’s and they are my favorite all time tire. In my area we get snow but not so much that I **need** dedicated snow tires. I had them on previous cars and with the CC2’s I never felt the need. I love them so much. Awesome tread pattern, great handling, I feel so well connected to the road. They are the tiniest bit louder than my previous but now years later I don’t notice it or think about it.

this spring i bought michelin cross climate 2’s for a 3rd gen CRV and am very happy. i looked at the defender 2 but since i do some gravel/dirt roads in the summer the cross climate has a much better tread design

Honestly they have 90% of the grip of an average summer tire with twice the tread life.

Michelin: dura muito, gruda muito no piso molhado, macio, vale MUITO a pena. Já nos salvou de batida.

Agora falando de performance, eu iria de Michelin.

Michelins with the laser burned sidewall details that are dark black and slightly fuzzy.

Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 are the best tires I've ever had, and the only ones that have truly balanced on my Tesla.

I put Michelins on my Honda civic. I floor it and omg it's been years and the tread hasnt gone down.

Just have these on for ~2 months

Handling in dry is still pretty good, not as sharp as the stock one for sure, but good enough for me

Heard that they are good inthe wet. I went through couple rainy days and felt like it's quite easy to get hydroplane.

Car didn't lose control, but I have never realised those water puddles in the past with other tires

Not sure whether it's a good thing or not

Thoughts on CrossClimate2 for San Francisco/CA climate? Considering these for 2020 Kia Niro EV to replace current OEM Michelin Primacy MXV4, which we have found to be terribly un-grippy in rain.
