Tires MICHELIN or OEM Audi

my Cup2s are sticky at ambient but turn into molten rubber when on track. Pretty amazing how well they work in that regard.

Michellin yung all weather. Been using it. So far so good. Tahimik at makapal pa rin kahit laging ginagamit

Having the CC2s will definitely help. The CC2s will definitely help you stop.

The past couple of sets I've had were Michelin X-Ice and they've been excellent. The X-Ices last for 40k or something.

More sidewall rubber gives a softer ride and absorbs winter roughness better, so a good idea. I went 29 inch 235/60R18 x-Ice for even more rubber and they are great.

Once I put Pilot Sports onto my V40 that thing just came alive. It didn't have crazy power obviously but you could use all of it, all the time and I kept up with or outran much quicker BMWs, Mercs and VWs because it could handle corners (especially once I got the hang of heel-toeing).

Been on the Defender m/s2 for 26,300mi. Still at 44mph average speed. 2.25mi/kwh. They have better steering response and overall grip than A/T which anyone would expect, quieter but not silent, lacking in the looks department, wearing better than Pirellis but faster than the Michelin treadlife prediction. Tire noise has not gotten worse as they age, possibly quieter but I deal with a lot of wind noise so not sure.

Got the Michelin 275/60/R20 for the past 10k miles and getting good efficiency. Ride was comfortable as well.

Picked up a new set of Cross Climate 2’s over the weekend. Handling is great, especially in the rain. Aesthetically, I think they look super cool and unique. They have an aggressive look to them.

That being said, I did not do my due diligence beforehand and let the guy at discount t*re give me the run down on them. One thing he failed to mention was the lack of efficiency they bring (not blaming him). In my first couple of drives I noticed my wh/mi to be well over 300 and in one instance on a 5 mile drive it was 395 wh/mi. Crazy! This is in comparison to my average of 252 wh/mi for the last 5k miles I’ve driven. It’s important to note that I like to accelerate fast and have had the heat on due to the cold weather coming in (Chicago native).

I wanted to see how much of a difference it made if I changed my driving habits so for the past 15 miles or so. I turned “chill” mode on and turned off the AC system and have averaged around 210 wh/mi. Nice to know that efficiency is still attainable just a bit sad that I will be losing 30%+ of range when driving how I normally do.

Hoping that with time they will break in and I will see that number go down a bit. I will update the thread as I put more miles on them.

I had to get rid of my Michelin Wranglers after 25k because they kept getting rock punctures in them and then I had to get them plugged. After the 3rd rock I decided to switch
