Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

Mióta megvan az autó (3 éve) négyévszakos abroncsok vannak alatta. Először Hankook volt, tavaly kapott Michelin Crossclimate gumikat.

Mentem már vele tükörjégen, szakadó hóesésben, most a letakarítatlan 20 centis hóban is. Nem mondom, hogy itt-ott nem csusszant meg, de nem volt eddig semmi gond vele.

Switched to Pirelli Rosso 4 and the problem went away almost entirely.

A few months ago I replaced an old set of [Panracer Gravel King Slick+] 35mm and butyl tubes with the [Michelin Pro5] 35mm with TPU tubes.

Very happy with the performance, they genuinely feel faster, which they are according to [bicyclerollingresistance] they are.

i once rode my 40mm P Zero Race TLR on gravel all day on 15 psi and no puncture. built like a tank.

Have Yakima ski rack on roof cross bars (empty today). Factory Pirelli Scorpion tires (they were great in the blizzard last week despite all the complaints on the interwebz about them).

I’d go with the Michelin Defenders. I bought a set of Michelin X Tour A/S 2s (Costco version of Defender 2s) back in April 2023, and after almost 3 years and 70k miles, there’s still plenty of tread left on them. They’ve lasted twice as long as my previous tires now, even with regular rotations.

Michelin defender 2 easily out of those options. It has been a tire that has consistently lasted over 80k miles in 4 of my families vehicles, all with different drivers but regular rotations at Costco. Also has very low rolling resistance so youll save fuel.

I just swapped my Pirelli's (22" OEM) for winter tires.

I’ve run both, the Nokians are the better tire. I genuinely was not impressed with the CC2, snow/ice braking was pathetic.

As someone thats ran dedicated snow tires, they won’t impress you in snow and ice. The stopping distance in snow/ice is not much better than a standard all-season. Also, after the second season in snow (Michigan) even though they had 7.5mm tread the performance was really lackluster, maybe this is because of heat cycling throughout the summer making the compound harder? It was a fun experiment, but I’m Definitely going back to swapping seasonal tires. Nothing replaces true snow tire grip. Also, they are not very quiet, or very efficient. Saw about a 8% drop.
