Tires MICHELIN or OEM Mazda

I bought Michelin Cross climate 2 tires 3 years ago and they solved all my traction problems.

Yea any E rated tire is going to suffer on ride quality. I’ve settled on Michelin Defender ms2s. They come in a 275/65/20 - 34.1” P rated tire. Gives me the taller stance I like but are not an aggressive looking tire. Ride quality is fantastic.

Michelins all year round for me in Kent UK. It’s great.

30k miles on 2024 mazda3 turbo hatchback. No problems other than replaced tires due to the low profiles hitting potholes.

Michelin pilot sport 4s are a step above the nt555

I've ran PS4's in Cali too, I think they're worth the price. Ever since I switched to Hankook all-seasons, I miss the PS4's every day.

Michelen X-ice for my XC60. Now I crunch everywhere I go but necessary in this environment.

Will be same here in a few weeks, except Michelin X ice on steels. They kinda look small on the truck to me compared to the XLT wheelset but they ride good. If you have AWD, you will really be loving it in the snow. FWD is serviceable, but can slip going uphill if I have to stop. Torque steering in deep snow too, I have to apply constant corrections. AWD should be much better. There is an efficiency hit with the softer rubber, but low temps make a much bigger impact on mpg I think. Not a worry really, just the cost of doing business.

pilot sport all season 4 on 22 MYLR. The tires are slightly narrow for a 255 width but work fine. They grip better than original Continentals so steering feels tighter. Also don’t be surprised to see higher power consumption. I reset trip 2 when we put tires on and through 5156 miles are averaging 303 wh/mile.

I replaced them 2 years ago with a set of Michelin Primacy Tour A/S. I’ve been pretty unhappy with the Michelins from the time I got them…I think the Yokohamas rode better and were quieter
