i'm getting slightly better at ~10000 miles with 2.3mi/kWh. i have the 116/119 version installed and they are essentially still new at 14/32 last i checked but i'm at 62psi cold. these tires have a max inflation of 50psi if you're also on the 116/119 version, so 50psi is too low FYI

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.
I got the defenders for the 21" wheels 4k miles ago. I am currently at 2.31 mi/kWh and climbing. Pretty similar to the original Pirelli tires.
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.
It will probably settle out to a 10-15% range loss. I went from 230 > 260 wh/mi (only about 2k miles on them).
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.
