Tires MICHELIN or Triangle

I just got 20” Defender LTX M/S2’s on my R1T, absolutely love them. I got 30k out of the Pirelli’s so I really hope to get at least 40 or 50k out of these.

Personally, I have the Michelin Pilot and can attest to how incredibly awesome they are. Stick to the road like glue and significant road noise reduction over the factory crap Acura puts on it's cars.

I have done 5 seasons on Michelin X-Ice on GD STi and cannot recommend highly enough.

The Michelin Defender tires have settled in well. As you can see, I’m getting significantly better efficiency now that the tires have a few thousand miles on them. 6000 miles in and they are down to 10 mm on tread. Factory tread is 11 mm so I’m very happy with the wear so far. Especially considering the Pirellis only lasted 23k miles. Picture 3, with 12,000 miles is the last 12,000 mile efficiency rating on the Pirelli’s. Picture 2 is the first 3000 miles on the Michelins. I am shocked to see the difference, as I was expecting a loss of efficiency with the Defenders. The data is trending and showing they are in fact a better efficiency tire vs the factory Pirellis. 50 cold psi is a must IMO.

The Michelin LTX aren’t much to look at, but they have tons of those little sipes in there and make for a low-key snow tire in my experience. Also sound good on the highway

Eu cu michelin alpin 5, tractiune spate nu am avut nici cea mai mica problema iarna la munte. Mi se par niste cauciucuri senzationale pe zapada.

These tires have pretty low rolling resistance. I've had them for a while now on my m3 and notice no impact on efficiency over around 20k km.

I have used Michelin and their winter tyres. Works magic and haven’t spun the pony during winter mix. Summer rain is another matter…

Not on a X7, but on a Hyundai Equus (air ride as well that eat rear tires every 15k miles). Michelin lasted only 10k miles, and might have been a bit more comfortable, but this is it.

Do not get PS4s for the track. They can’t handle extended periods under heat and fall apart quickly.
