Tires MICHELIN or BFGoodrich
That why i changed my tires from eco contact 6 to the Michelin crossclimate 2 one of the best all weather tires on the market and good enough for my 75hp corsa but the eco contact 6 suck ass because they are made to have a low rolling resistance
I made the same mistake with an NB I put midrange all weather tires on and I aqua planed as soon as I hit a puddle the cheapest tyre I put on my MX-5S now is Michelin pilot sport I have pilot sport 4s on my NB and pilot sport 5 on my ND well worth the extra money and even in wet weather the cars grip like a beast only down side with my ND on pilot sport 5s is it's really hard to even wheel spin let alone get a nice slide going dam things grip so much.
Michelin Commander 2 or 3 - I put 25k miles on a MC2 on my old sportster - they just fucking last and have decent wet, great dry traction
Never, ever try to save money on tyres!! They're what connects your car to the road, literally the most important part for safety and handling. One of the few parts where I personally go for one of the more expensive models. NO exceptions.
We just put Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all-seasons on our 2022 SEL. Range loss is about 10-15%, highway is worse than around town. Huge improvement in handling and especially wet traction makes it worth it with the winter rains (hopefully) coming.
I have a 2020 Kona SEL and replaced my Nexens with BF Goodrich 215s about six weeks ago and thought I would share my range difference after I got to try them out for my Thanksgiving road trip. I observed about 11% range lost in town driving and 8% range lost in highway driving with the new tires. I think it's well worth it to not feel like you are going to die every time it rains though haha.
I got x-ice 4 couple years ago and have been really happy
BFG KO2’s best performance on road and off road in snow sand dirt ice rain. I have tried nitto’s and I seemed to have better performance and treaslofe with the KO2’s
Currently I have Michelin CrossClimate but, in my opinion they are not as good as Defenders.
I have nothing to add but that my X-Ice 3s are terrible on wet and dry pavement.
