Tires MICHELIN or Tesla

i got the defenders about 500 miles ago and like them.

the ride is more comfortable and i like the look. i do hear a little bit of road noise, but assuming i get close to the life i’m supposed to from them, it’ll be worth it.

I was actively avoiding driving with the Kinergys if rain was predicted. Hated to dump almost new tires but first rain test the other night with the Michelins and they were amazing.

Look into the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. Great tire and better tread wear.

I ride on Michelin Cross climates and really like em. Spendy but I live in a place that gets lots of snow so worth it for me personally

Well you get what you pay for in tires. Chinese tires I get 1 season out of (I drive a lot) name brand such as Michelin 3 years. Name brand rides better, quieter, wear better.

I'm glad. I got tires for my suv for 130$ a tire and they are going strong 4 years later. Last set i had on the same car were Michelin for 210$ per and they wore out after 3 years.

Like others on here, Michelin PS4S.

I bought my 2019 GLI with about 8k miles on it and noticed fairly quickly especially in the rain, the stock tires just didn’t cut it, so those got swapped out about 1500 miles later (under 10k). Great upgrade, no regrets.

I live in California, all the hype around Michelin PS4S is completely valid. I love them

Idk…the Defender 2 isn’t as good as I thought it would be. I’m currently have them on my CRV. I personally prefer the Yokohama GTX more.

These tires are a death trap in snow. In a heavy wet snow the snow collects in the treads to create a flat, slick surface allowing the tire to slide before stopping. On a hill it's even worse. They work ok on wet surfaces.
