Tires MICHELIN or OEM Mazda

The Michelin LTX AT2... Less void to rubber ratio than the BFG AT TA KO2 means it will be quieter, less susceptible to cupping, have a longer tread life, and still retain it's grip and clean out capability for snow and mud. I sold dozens of sets of both and had the opportunity to observe their performance over years.

For snow, winter tires are much more affective than AWD on all season. Even the cheapest set of winter tires will outperform summer/all season

Cross Clikate 2. They are comfy and quieter than the Michelin Defenders and Primacy.

I use the Michelin climate 2s. I love them

I did get a new set of Michelin tires last year. I couldn’t stand the stock Pirelli.

I have Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons and they're a great tire.

Michelin AS4 is the best all season tire money can buy. The Michelins are worth the premium IMO. The cost difference isn’t that big when you spread it out over the expected lifespan of the tire.

I recently went with Pilot Sport 4 AS and they are better, id say impressively GREAT. From my experience, the PS4 AS handle noticeably better in dry hot weather. Almost so well i wouldnt mind leaving them on year round. Where the DWS06+ fell short was where the PS4 surprised me, dry weather. In the wet, they were similar for me and i didnt notice a big difference. I was doing timed trial runs and my times were always within about 1 second of each other on both sets on a road ive been driving for years. Imo, best of the two is the PS4 AS, but youre paying more for marginally better tire, and thats also subjective.

CC2 has better grip all around especially in snow, it just might be more noisy and not last as long.

After switch to Defender 2 tires, I lost an instant 20% in efficiency - consistently !!!
