Tires MICHELIN or NITTO

I have a 2023 Rogue and absolutely love it. I'm at 24k miles and the only issue I have has been with replacing the tires. The factory installed tires wore out fast. Replaced with Michellin Defender 2s and hope they'll hold up a very long time.

I have the Michelin cross climate tires now and they went through a mild winter fine. I did drive through a winter storm last year, slowly & made it to my final destination. I feel pretty good about driving through all weather.

Got the cross climate 3 sport on my v60 and it's a huge difference. Even tho I went from18/19" to 20" now the Michelins are way quieter then the original Continental tires.

After research I'm going for normal Michelin Cross climate 2. I'm in the mountains of mid Wales so snow isn't even guaranteed but it can be here for a few weeks. And there will be frost and ice. In the past (on my ICE cars) I have gone full winter tyres but I'm not sure the bother of changing them twice a year is worth it for me. And EV specific definitely isn't worth the extra.

I'm open to other suggestions though.

Tires make a night and day difference, especially in EV’s where you have more torque. I went with cross climates, and took a 5 percent hit on range, but the traction it gives during rain is worth imo.

Consider Michelin's Cross Climate 2/3 as well, which is an excellent All-Weather tire and performs far and away better than traditional \"All Season\" tires in winter.

Went in for touch up woolwax undercoating yesterday and put on some new Nitto Terra Grappler 3s to replace the factory tires last week.

I swapped the oem geolanders for Michelin cross climate 2’s since I don’t do much real offroading just hunting trails and mountain roads. They actually handle the wet leaf covered steep mountain side roads in pigeon forge better.

My Michelin crossclimate 2 were great first winter, good second winter and terrible third winter.

PS4S gets slimy and the car will get loose 5 minutes into a track session or on hot autox days.
