Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA

Yokohama Advan Fleva on 19” were suuuper quiet. Pilot Sports are way more noisy. Yokohama Advan Sport are noisy too. I really enjoyed the Flevas.

I had the BF Goodrich Comp 2s. Great tires on my 16. On my 21 CE I have Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, better tire than the Comp 2s (the comp 2s looked better however). The Michelins just have more traction and handle the torque better. I also feel they are better laterally.

You can get a great set of tires at Costco (Pilot sport all season on my S5). Good tires pay for themselves ( if properly inflated) in fuel efficiency savings!

I have a set of michelin alpin pa4 I'm trying to sell since I'm moving to FL soon. They ran perfect last winter.

The Cross Climate 2 is pretty much God tier in its class.   Do it.

The cross climates, although probably a bit more expensive, will wipe the floor with either of those 2 tires from les schwab performance wise. Significantly better in rain and snow, and will probably last much longer as well.

For me its the performance on wet conditions (rains a lot here) and the longevity. I usually get about 5-6 years off a set of defenders on both my GLK 350 and my Suburban.

I've worn out several sets of Yokes. Mine wear like butter and only last a few weekends, usually less than 100 runs. But the Yokes offer unparalleled grip of all the 200 tires I've run, especially when cold turn 1 and in cooler ambient temps.

The MPG drop is real, my Camry lost about 2-3mpg but they’re silly grippy. Definitely noisy and absolutely not a soft riding tire.

They were absolutely terrible on dry packed snow during a surprise squall I got stuck driving in. Not very surprising as that’s really the worst case scenario for all-weather tires—the snow fills the tread and stays there. Otherwise they have been fine, although the seem to be disintegrating in a weird way. They only have 16k miles but bits of tread are chipping off, rather than the tire wearing down.
