Tires MICHELIN or Nokia

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 downsized to 275/65r18 Michelin Defenders. Mpg and handling/noise are much improved. Close to 19 around town and 21 on the Hwy.

Nokian R5 SUVs. They got me out of everything last winter threw at me. And I had AWD before and live in a hilly area too.

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.

When I transition from my summer tires (Pilot Sports) to my winter (Nokian R3), it feels like I'm driving on springs. Lotsa sway and movement.

Just had my Michelin LTX (world’s ugliest tire) in for an attempted rebalance and they told me after a couple tries the same day that they’re shaped like a boiled egg cut in half. Tech did what he could but ultimately I’m getting new tires.
