Tires MICHELIN or Nexen

I’ve had the same experiences with my pilot sport 4 AS. I’m at 41,000 miles and still going strong. I estimate I will get another 5 to 10,000 out of them. It’s really only the back tires that will need replacement. The front tires still appear to have most of their tread. The Michelin’s are incredible tires!

While I agree that these tires have lived a full life and should be replaced, it’s impressive how well these tires have held up after 15 years. Nexen - I’m impressed.

I have been running PS4S on my R32. These tires hold really well, even when it's wet.

The 18s have Michelin X-Ice Snow tires on them. So far so good.

Sounds like you need better snow tires. Or you need to learn to drive in the snow. I did just fine in Houghton with an NA Miata on Michelin X-Ices, and in a low slung FWD Volvo C30 on Vredestein Wintrac Pros.

Michelin cross climate 2. Just buy it. Your done. Best all around tire you can get.

CrossClimate2 is the golden standard of all-weather tires. You can't go wrong with this (other than the price).

Crossclimate 2 tires are still the best performing all weather/all season tires in the snow. I advised my dad to buy a pair and he is extremely happy with that decision. He is driving a 2017 mazda 3.

They are what I expect for OEM/stock light duty truck tires, fine on the road and light off-road duty into a farm field or pasture. They don't slip anywhere near as much as the Michelin aftermarket tires I ran on my F150 on wet pavement/gravel and seem pretty reasonable on the road noise so far.

I hated my geolanders and was so glad to get rid of them. True that my only off roading is forest roads but I have a set of Michelin defenders that takes on everything from dry slalom’s to loose forest road hills and snow with quiet confidence.
