Tires MICHELIN or RIKEN

I am on my second pair of Cross Climates and love them. Great traction on gravel, wet pavement and even is snow. Great mileage at highway speed of 30mph in my 2015 Forester. Only downside is they are a bit noisy.

We have the Michelin CC2s. They are great in dry weather and snow. I love that I don't have to swap snow tires on the car anymore.

Very happy with my Michelin Crossclimate 2s. Quiet, fuel efficient and very durable.

Inner rear tires were down to the cords so I needed new tires. Had an alignment done with the adjustable arms and wanted to go wider to fill out the rim and provide some curb protection.

No efficiency data yet but it's so smooth and quiet compared to the stock tires.

Brother, be realistic. Your Michelin Road 6 is no track tire. Far from a high performance tire that anyone should be running crazy high speeds on! That is 100% patchable and would be just fine for the life of the tire.

I have Michelin cross climate 2's. Been about 3, maybe almost 4yrs now. About 35k miles put on them. Maybe a bit more? Threads are still pretty good.

If you only do pavement the michelins are by far the best quiet and smooth. Also do great in snow an water.

Michelin Pro Sport Tires! Hands down

I also have the Defender 2 though I didn't quite make as deliberate a choice. I jumped a curve in a parking lot and did sidewall damage (some metal bit on a storm drain) to my stock tires, and I had the car towed to Discount Tire and the Defender 2 was the only good option in stock at the time.

I moved to aftermarket wheels and changed tires and have seen a fairly significant drop in efficiency. I'm in a 23 Lariat and with the following modifications I see a about 1.7 mi/kwh now.
