Tires MICHELIN or Shinko

I bought tires from Costco for my 2020 Rav4, ordered online, made an appointment and came back in a few days, I bought the Michelin CrossClimate2, I'd say it was worth it and with the Costco credit we had it was only 200 dollars for 4 new tires which was great.

I just got my Cross Climates there a couple months ago. Price was same as Tire Rack which is where I usually go, but included install.

The tires themselves are good, noise level and ride quality are comparable to the mxm4 (I can’t tell the difference) and when giving the car a bit of acceleration I was able to handily control the car around some wider turns.

After reviewing the comments out here, I went with Michelin Defender 2’s and couldn’t be more pleased so far (2000 miles). I picked up about 3mpg (36.9!) in town and up to 6 more (granted following my friends in their RV at 60 mph - I got over 40 mpg then). They handle well in rain or dry, are relatively quiet.

I've had the Michelin Crossclimate 2 for the last few years. Great tires. I've driven them in -55 fahrenheit with snow and ice to 110 fahrenheit, rain storms and so on with no issues. The only con is that they are a bit loud on the highway.

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.

I've used them on track when I was starting out. 3350 lb awd 350 hp car. Chunking on sides. Not a track tire obviously but a great do-it-all.

I have this issue with Michelin Defender tires. Brand new set. Rebalanced 4 times at 3 different shops and an alignment and just feel so unsteady on them. Also feel like I notice every imperfection in the road.
