Will be same here in a few weeks, except Michelin X ice on steels. They kinda look small on the truck to me compared to the XLT wheelset but they ride good. If you have AWD, you will really be loving it in the snow. FWD is serviceable, but can slip going uphill if I have to stop. Torque steering in deep snow too, I have to apply constant corrections. AWD should be much better. There is an efficiency hit with the softer rubber, but low temps make a much bigger impact on mpg I think. Not a worry really, just the cost of doing business.
Pros: ride good, better in snow
Cons: look small, efficiency hit
Vehicle:
Ford Maverick
I just recently got the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s and not the ZP version because of all the known negatives of runflats and I have to say they're amazing. They improve ride quality and traction is surprisingly similar to the Eagle F1s I was running before
Pros: improve ride quality, amazing traction
Cons: expensive
Michelin Defender LT M/S Quiet on pavement, handle great, good milage, excellent in rain, very good in snow, very good on dirt. Not the best option for mud, but why the heck would you want to drive in mud anyway?
Pros: quiet on pavement, handle great
Cons: not best for mud
I replaced them with the Michelin CrossClimate 2s just in time for the rainy season in my area. even with the new tires, I can easily lose traction and spin my wheels if I gun it off the line because this car is a FWD torque monster. But when I spin the CC2s, I never feel like I don\u2019t have control of the vehicle. I\u2019m really glad I upgraded the tires for the rain.
Pros: better control, upgraded tires
Cons: can lose traction
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Bolt
Mileage: 15000 km
The OEM Michelin Energy Saver tires sound borderline dangerous in the rain. I'm in SoCal; the previous owner had already swapped to Michelin Defender 2s lol. The Defenders though, they got grip for days.
Pros: good grip
Cons: dangerous in rain
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Bolt
Mileage: 14000 km
I’m running the alpin 5 and the ground connection was strong.
Pros: strong ground connection
Vehicle:
BMW M2
I switched to the Michelin Cross Climate 2s and they have substantially better traction than OEMs. You may have better options if you don't need the snow performance. The OEMs have notoriously poor traction, especially on wet pavement.
Pros: better traction than OEMs
Cons: reduced range
pilot sport all season 4 on 22 MYLR. The tires are slightly narrow for a 255 width but work fine. They grip better than original Continentals so steering feels tighter. Also don’t be surprised to see higher power consumption. I reset trip 2 when we put tires on and through 5156 miles are averaging 303 wh/mile.
Pros: better grip, tighter steering
Cons: slightly narrow, higher power consumption
Mileage: 8297 km
I’ve spent more on tires on my myp in the first year than any other car ive owned. 3 punctures on the pilot sport AS4 add up.
Cons: prone to punctures, high cost
