I replaced the junk ProContact TX tires on my 21 SEL-P with ExtremeContact DWS 06+ a few weeks ago. Went to Mammoth this weekend, where it has been setting records for snowfall. The 4motion, along with these tires, performed fantastically well. Very pleased with them.
Pros: performed fantastically well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
These are the Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Went up slightly to 265/65/18 with no rubbing!
My vehicle spends 99.9% of the time on surface roads, so road manners are incredibly important. However, I do plan to do some very light off-roading (Big Bend NP) in the near future, so I wanted something a little bit more capable than the OEM tires. Not to mention, I think the original tires were meant for a slightly lighter vehicle, as evidenced by the fact that they were beginning to show significant wear around the 20,000 mile range.
Pros: good road manners
Cons: significant wear at 20000
Mileage: 32186 km
In October I ordered **oversize** Michelin PILOT® SPORT ALL SEASON 4s. Stock size: 255/40ZR20. Size I bought for a better look on the rim, added rim ding protection, better look on the car, and more "meat" on the contact patch was 265/40ZR20. Yes, they fit, no problemo.
With these Michelins, my Y is a bloody snowmobile. Can go just about anywhere, even pulling a trailer up and down steep snow/ice covered Tahoe roads. :-)
Pros: bloody snowmobile, can go anywhere
I had metal-studded Semperit tires on my Toyota Celica. It ran like a tank up and down those snow-covered mountain roads!
Pros: ran like a tank
Vehicle:
Toyota Celica
I just bought Michelin LTX Defenders last week for my 2017. Best tires you can buy hands down.
Pros: Best tires hands down
Vehicle:
Toyota Highlander
my wife’s Hybrid Highlander came with Michelins. I forget specifically what but I’m hoping they’ll last over $30k
Pros: hoping they’ll last
Vehicle:
Toyota Highlander
Mileage: 30000 km
Costco Michelins for the win. On our ‘15 Highlander and my ‘11 Tundra.
Pros: for the win
Vehicle:
Toyota Highlander
My TLX came with Michelin Primacy A/S tires and they were very quiet . They were not grippy enough for my liking though, so I ditched them for the Continental DWS06+.
Pros: very quiet
Cons: not grippy enough
Vehicle:
Acura TLX
I have found it quite hard to predict, but Bridgestone were extremely noisy for me. Then I had Michelin which were slightly quieter but still didn't satisfy me completely.
Pros: slightly quieter
Cons: extremely noisy
Vehicle:
Lexus
