Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

Winter tires are best for you.

* Michelin Cross Climate 2 (I can vouch for these)

My go-to winters are Michelin X-Ice Snow they’re stupid good on ice, stay soft in deep cold, and don’t get noisy like some of the cheaper winter tires do.

I’m running Pirelli Cinturato P7 winter tires. This is the best snow driving car I’ve ever owned; must have to do with the small mass of the car.

Tesla descrive la Model 3 come “berlina sportiva” e… non sbagliano. È piantata a terra, non perde facilmente aderenza (mi è stata consegnata con Micheline e-primacy), MA… pecca in feedback e feeling di guida se siete abituati alle berline termiche con il motore davanti.

I've used Blizzak, Pirelli (don't remember model), Continental Viking Contact and now Vredestein Wintrac Pro+. Blizzaks were great, Pirellis made a lot of noise on wet pavement - first time I thought I had something failing in the drivetrain. Continentals were good, but when they were almost done they failed in a really weird (scary) way that caused a lot of instability and the wet traction basically went to zero. I'm on a brand new set of Vredesteins now and so far they've been good.

In Michigan I run Michelin CC2 tires (3PMSF rated) for 7 months out of the year and Michelin PS4S tires the rest. My car is a GR Corolla.

If you buy it, I recommend the Pirelli Angel GT2 tires; they work very well on this bike.

My Y with Soto zero 3s gets about 280-300 on my commute where I normally get 210-240 wh/mi with summer tires. It’s an increase but 500 seems excessive even with a heavy foot

Absolutely hated them on a ‘26 R1S. Only lasted three weeks before I threw them in the basement and paid another $4k to swap for 20” wheels and Goodyears. The ride sucked. Very bumpy, felt every imperfection in the road, and All Purpose soft was no comfort.

The efficiency is much higher than the AT or AS options, but an average of 1.9kwh v. 2.5~kwh is worth how much better the ride is now.

Only keeping the 22” wheels in case I decide to throw some Michelins on eventually to see if it was just those Pirellis. These stock tires are getting tossed.

I will also say that when I had the SC swap wheels and tires, they found the stock Pirellis were *very* unbalanced.

It was like 36, 25, 12, 22 and the alignment was very jacked up as well. Can’t believe they signed off on that before delivery.

Hey, I have a Michelin set from 2018 and they are hard like hockey pucks. I don’t run on them cause I have another set that I’m on.
