Back when I was in college (2001) there was a guy in my class who tested tires in a lab. This was around the time Ford SUV's would flip over, thanks Firestone. He said he would test tires at high speed, different weighs, and tire pressures to test longevity. I asked him which tires were best. He said he couldn't tell me because of confidentiality laws. I asked him which tires he puts on his wife's minivan, and he said he would *only* put Michelin tires on his wife's car.
Pros: only Michelin tires
Vehicle:
Ford
Always been a bi Michelin fan - never been done wrong with them. They cost a little more, but the ride and quiet are worth it to me. My X5 is right at the 70,000 mile mark with the set of Defender LTX I have on it, and I'd imagine another set is going on right behind them.
Pros: ride and quiet
Cons: cost a little more
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Mileage: 70000 km
michelin pilot sport 4s best tires ever made
Pros: best tires ever
I've been running Costco michelin wipers on my cars since they're 10 bucks
Pros: good value
my GF and I have used their blades for years and the price point is almost impossible to beat, and they are one of the better blades on market.
Pros: impossible to beat price, better blades
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
costco Michelin all weather wipers for $9 CAD each.. they last twice what the OEM ones do at less than half the price.
Pros: last twice OEM, less than half price
So I had Michelin Xclimates front and rear. After 31,000 miles, I unfortunately got a puncture in my front right after hitting a ratchet strap :(
At the time (5 years ago) £125 a tyre was definitely worth it for ~31,000 miles.
I changed the fronts with a set of Xclimate 2s. They’re expensive yeah… but they work.
Pros: worth it for miles
Cons: expensive
Mileage: 31000 km
Im on the Michelins from the factory and just noticed the rears are starting to show some wear in the center. I’m at about 14,000 miles.
Cons: rear wear in center
Mileage: 22531 km
Thoughts on CrossClimate2 for San Francisco/CA climate? Considering these for 2020 Kia Niro EV to replace current OEM Michelin Primacy MXV4, which we have found to be terribly un-grippy in rain.
Cons: un-grippy in rain
Vehicle:
Kia
