Tires MICHELIN or Nexen

I have been driving for about a month on Michelin Defenders (21"; purchased/installed at Costco) and will never go back to the Pirellis. Quieter for road travel, good handling, minimal difference in range

I ran the Michelins for 8 winters here in BC. They are an excellent tire. Good in rain, snow and ice (ice performance degraded after about the third season).

Bought my truck in 2019 at 55k miles with NEXEN tires, it’s 2024 98k miles and still in the green for discount tires tread chart (8/32”). I was told they are cheap tires but they’re quiet and have held up great.

I moved from the continental EV tires to Michelin cross contact and had about a 10% increase in consumption… part due to tires part due to how much better they felt and I pushed more

The best of those is Michelin Cross climate.

I have the cross Climates on my 19 Forester. I love them. I can’t wait for snow.

Joining the rest of folks here to say that it’s worth it to switch to the CC2s. They are superior in every way. Road noise is not an issue in my experience at all.

Not sure why he would suggest an inferior tire. The Cross Climate 2 are an excellent all weather tire

Also have had General Altimax on a Subaru that were fine as well as Michelin X-ice on a BMW x-1.

bought 4 nexen tires for my nissan sedan, read a couple of I suspect fake reviews and had them installed. The whole set, worst tires iv ever seen, I remember thinking how light they were when I picked them up, didnt think much more until I started having flat after flat. Got rid of them on the day of the 3rd flat.
