Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA

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.

Very happy with my Michelin Crossclimate 2s. Quiet, fuel efficient and very durable.

Inner rear tires were down to the cords so I needed new tires. Had an alignment done with the adjustable arms and wanted to go wider to fill out the rim and provide some curb protection.

No efficiency data yet but it's so smooth and quiet compared to the stock tires.

Brother, be realistic. Your Michelin Road 6 is no track tire. Far from a high performance tire that anyone should be running crazy high speeds on! That is 100% patchable and would be just fine for the life of the tire.

I also have the Defender 2 though I didn't quite make as deliberate a choice. I jumped a curve in a parking lot and did sidewall damage (some metal bit on a storm drain) to my stock tires, and I had the car towed to Discount Tire and the Defender 2 was the only good option in stock at the time.

I my area I could’ve almost gotten four Yokohamas for that price, including mound and balance. So yeah, I think he shafted you.
