Tires MICHELIN or Sailun

I've got the CrossClimates on my 2016. A bit noisy, but great ride, handling, and traction in wet and snow

Crossclimate 2 from Michelin. First hand experience in the Swiss Alps in the middle of a snow storm. They did not disappoint.

Michelin makes a good all-weather tire called the CrossClimate2. I have them on my Kia Niro and have been quite happy with them. Great dry and wet performance, and are fine in light snow.

The tire shop let me switch to 17" Michelin CrossClimate 2s. They make a soft noise, almost like the sound of a wave going out on a pebble beach, but it's not annoying - they're just not as quiet as the Pirellis, which where literally astonishing. Best of all the Michelins are firm but comfortable around town, and completely smooth at highway speeds; it's like they're rolling on glass bearings.

Stock Pirellis were shot, tire shop recommended Sailun. $230 a piece, Irvine, CA.

My quick-take after a week of driving:

* Turning radius at slow speeds seems better than the Pirellis. It’s easier to get into parking spaces.

* Ride feels a bit "harder", more vibrations in the cabin now.

* I charge at home to 70% and only go to work and back. Normally get home at 64% SoC, this week been coming home at 65% SoC.

* Everything else feels the same (for now).

I’ve been happy with the Michelin Cross Climate 2s.

These are exactly what I'm running on my Polestar. They're a bit louder than the stock Michelins and are a little less efficient but handle great and are outstanding in the snow.

However I replaced my S4 tires with PS4S.

I had commander 2s on my V-Star 650 and commander 3s on my Road Star. They perform pretty similarly in my opinion. My only gripe with the 3s is that they get this harmonic resonance at certain speeds. I thought my engine was having a fit. Turns out it wasn't the engine, the 3s just like to hit that sweet spot and send vibrations in waves. It's hard to describe.

I had Michelin Premiere LTX’s on my ‘21 Highlander V6 and they were bald at 27,000.
