Tires MICHELIN or OEM Mazda

I got 55k out of my first set of Michelins so the staggered tire thing is not a big deal.

I always run sport touring tires on my bike. Currently riding a Z900. I love the Michelin Road 6 tires. They are great in all weather conditions, well I don’t how they do in snow and ice but they are amazing in the rain and give good grip in the dry.

I've run DWS and DWS06+ on multiple cars (MK4 jetta, GTI, 8P 3.2, RS4) and have friends with the same on other marques, over a period of at least 15 years. They are THE choice unless you want to spend more money on the Michelins. The only other option I'd consider is the Michelin CrossClimate, but these are touring tires, so you'll lose more of the dry performance of the DWS or AS/3, but have better "weather" performance, if that makes sense. I know a few folks with these, and they seem to like it, but they're appliance owners, not car enthusiasts.

I put the MICHELIN X-TOUR A/S 2 on the Crossturd and I've been happy with them. Quiet and handle rain well. Handling has remained the same or better than the Uniroyal Tiger Paws the dealer had put on there - probably not a big feat there.

I've had them on my 2019 for well over a year now, been very happy with them.

I have the CC1 and my inlaws have CC2 tires on our AWD wagons. Hands down some of the best riding tires I have had. Also the best wet traction, will see what miles I get from a set.

I put them on my 2018 ridgeline last fall. Have been great, were very good in the snow/ice last winter in MN.

Have been on my AS4s for 20K+ miles and very happy. They do ride a bit firmer but the wet/dry performance is great. I've never had anything but contempt for Pirelli products. The GTI factory all-seasons were bad and the PZ4 summers I replaced them with were also bad.

The Michelins have a somewhat well-known delamination problem. I got them too from Costco on a Michelin month, and they are definitely a marked improvement over the stock tires in all regards. They're grippier in the dry and wet and quieter.

I knew the stock summer tires were terrible so for the first few months I drove the car balls to wall and made sure I wore off all the tread on all 4 tires before winter hit. Now i’m rocking the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4’s !
