Tires MICHELIN or NITTO

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 have 2017 ecoboost put a 2in leveling kit with Nitto grappler stayed with my original 18in OEM absolutely love it. I lost about 3 miles per gallon but I love it.

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.

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 now have the nittos that came with the 4Runner and absolutely hate them.
