Tires MICHELIN or PHANTOM

I daily mine. It's awesome. Michelin Alpin tires.

I have a set of Michelin XDN2, going on 250,000 miles and still have between 10 and 12 mm left

I live in Washington state. Michelin cross climate twos are fantastic. Dry roads, heavy, rain, snow ice they do it all.

I have 235/60R18 tires on new wheels with x-Ice snow tires and this is my 3rd winter. I don't believe the tires cause much if any range loss as they are narrower than stock. My overall winter range loss is about 12%, 250 watts per mile versus 285..

Anvelopele all season de la michelin chiar sunt bune, la urmatorul set chiar ma gandesc si eu sa trec pe all season avand in vedere ca nu au mai fost ierni asa de grele in ultimii ani.

Recently picked up my 2026 1LT, immediately had Michelin Alpin PA4's mounted. Lots of fun.

My wife has crossclimates on her Q7 and they are amazing. Much better than her previous all seasons.

I love my CrossClimate tires. Lived here my whole life and when I got them 2 years ago it was a game changer. Would highly recommend.

Some tires are made in China and some possibly(?) better ones are made Vietnam, while made in Korea tires usually aren't bad, but may not last as long as expensive tires. For safety, I wouldn't go too cheap on tires. Many cheap tires have rather poor traction when new and become unsafe with only a few miles of wear on them. The Chinese tires often are made of very hard rubber, which might wear well, but has poor traction. There may be some in between tires made in the Philippines, but I'd avoid them. Kumho is a Korean tire company with majority Chinese ownership by a Chinese tire company. They make Phantom tires, likely in China, but even in Korea, they would be the low end. Hankook tires are "better" Korean tires. Not the best, but seem safer. I'd check tire reviews on the Internet.

They're Chinese junk. They sorta work, but have 20% less traction and 50% less lifetime.
