Tires MICHELIN or SUMITOMO

pilot sport series tires are the truth. i put them on a regular golf and it was insane the difference they made.

Run flats suck if you care about performance but if you absolutely have to have them and want an all season tire the Michelin pilot 4 all seasons are decent.

Lately I really like the Michelin XIce series. I'm on my third set of these between me and my wife, and they're great for our typical winters. Awesome on ice, really good on wet roads, great handling and mileage on dry roads, and still better in deep snow than any all-season.

Michelin x-ice my vote……had them on my Accord and were great on snow and ice.

I’ve been running Michelin X Ice for years. Last car ran them for 4 winters without issue before I sold it.

I have the comfort suspension on my 2023 LR Y and I just changed tires on my Induction 20\u201d. The new tires have made a noticeable improvement so there\u2019s definitely an opportunity to improve ride quality through tire swap alone. Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, 275 /40 R20.

Yup. Michelin Anakee Wild. Gotta stud them yourself but they're 3PMSF

I have Michelin Crossclimate 2's in the winter. On those days, I don't have to worry about the tires running or wearing like shit. I could leave them on year round if I wanted, but they are a little squishy and squirrely. And, while full bore winters they are not, they're 3 peak rated and still pretty damn good. I could swear they don't wear at all either.

Picked up a new set of Cross Climate 2’s over the weekend. Handling is great, especially in the rain. Aesthetically, I think they look super cool and unique. They have an aggressive look to them.

That being said, I did not do my due diligence beforehand and let the guy at discount t*re give me the run down on them. One thing he failed to mention was the lack of efficiency they bring (not blaming him). In my first couple of drives I noticed my wh/mi to be well over 300 and in one instance on a 5 mile drive it was 395 wh/mi. Crazy! This is in comparison to my average of 252 wh/mi for the last 5k miles I’ve driven. It’s important to note that I like to accelerate fast and have had the heat on due to the cold weather coming in (Chicago native).

I wanted to see how much of a difference it made if I changed my driving habits so for the past 15 miles or so. I turned “chill” mode on and turned off the AC system and have averaged around 210 wh/mi. Nice to know that efficiency is still attainable just a bit sad that I will be losing 30%+ of range when driving how I normally do.

Hoping that with time they will break in and I will see that number go down a bit. I will update the thread as I put more miles on them.

I don't enjoy the lack of lateral traction when wet with these
