Tires MICHELIN or RIKEN

Michelin road 6s. Not budget but I'm sitting at 10k miles and have probably another 4 to 6k till they need replaced.

I’ve been riding the defenders two plus years in the Reno Tahoe area

I commute on 80 in all kinds of weather especially snow and honestly never had a problem

My Winter set up includes Y rated tires, however they are not a Winter tire per Se. They are all season/ all-weather tires with the 3MPSF severe winter rating.

Get Micheline X Ice North 4 of Nokian. All 3 of our cars have studded tires and we are the only ones with traction through all winter.

Love Michelin PS in any car TBH

I had cross climate twos on my Chevy Bolt in northern Michigan, they were awesome for snow, but definitely hurt my range. I'd consider them again but just know that your range will be affected.

If you’re driving that much I would just go with the Michelin defender 2s. Personally I wouldn’t buy any tires that aren’t Michelin they are by far the best imo

I’ve been driving Michelin Climacontact (285/20) for 4 years and two sets. A dedicated tire will always be better but for me it is a good compromise.

If road noise is a concern, I would avoid Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Seasons. I haven't driven the Hankook's but the PS4AS were noticeably louder than the MXM4 and louder than the Pilot Sport 4 Summer tires I currently have now (with the foam).

Running Michelin Sport 4S - On 21’ GTI - While they are great in grip and fun they absolutely SUCK for wear. We rotate every 5k on the GTI they lasted 12k…10 months in south Florida. I check the air every month.
