Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

Michelin Pilot alpine bez ikakvih problema.

in the summer i swap to 22” range wheels with pirelli scorpions and get 2.1 to 2.7 mi/kw. so best case scenario, i’m getting 380.

If you live in the PNW and drive a car. I would recommend Michelin Cross Climate 2.

Best price is usually Costco.

You lose a bit on gas mileage but they perform excellently on the wet roads even in heavy rain.

Ne reklamiram svoje gume, ali sam neverovatno iznenađen! Michelin Cc3, nije bolo portebe da stavljam lance.

I got my 24 Prius Prime XSE Premium w/solar in April 2024.

But I would absolutely get it again, I have not experienced any Tire issues with my 19-in rims even though I've hit some pretty significant potholes that I was sure was going to cause some Tire or even rim damage, those were mainly with the original Toyo tires, I did get a new set of Michelin tires at 32,000 due to inside wear

I'd encourage you to consider Michelin Defender LTX M/S Quiet, handle great, good milage, excellent in rain, very good on snow, very good on dirt roads.

Michelin LTX MS! Great traction, super quiet on the highway, awesome in the snow.

So this are the balancing bricks everyone is talking about

This looks like to be a Michelin PS 3 or 4. If my guess is correct, these are sport tire which means soft rubber compound, and because of that they degrade (harden) fast. From experience, with normal use, they are good for 2-3 years of driving, then they get horribly bad (hard). Above 4 years they become hard like hockey pucks - the rubber looks shiny with lots of micro cracking and they are (from experience) deadly in the rain. So, judging from the picture one (i see micro cracking) and the fact they are 5 years old: They are gone. Tread depth is irrelevant now. They are so hard that you cant wear them down not even in 100.000km. Btw. about 6-7mm is the tread depth when these (Michelin PS) tires are new.

Both cars have Michelin X-Ice tires. Drives me nuts. I figured it has to be something with tire weight or road grip or something, but it doesn't seem widespread. I'd love any troubleshooting tips or thoughts, its scary and becoming one of my only personal gripes with the cars.
