I just installed these. Might be my imagination, but they seem to be quieter than the stock tires. The acceleration while turning seems to be better than the stock. There’s less of a slip and sticks to the ground well.
Michellin is always the go-to high end rubber for those who are flying with cash. Pilot Sport Cup 2/2R or Pilot Sport 4S for the wet. Pilot 4S I think is one of the best regarded tire in wet conditions & generally an amazing all-rounder.
We may have to send your original tires to a museum as the longest lasting Michelin Energy Savers!
If you live in South Texas in an area that gets a lot of rain I would say that you will get excellent traction with these. I live in Houston, and we get LOTS of rain and hurricanes etc. I have these on my Lincoln MKS (big heavy AWD sedan) because I previously lived in Colorado and needed the three peak rated tires for the snow. If I was living here when I needed new tires I probably wouldn’t have gotten them, but I have NEVER had a traction issue driving even at higher speeds in heavy downpours. Feels like a dry road to me.
I have been using michellin primacy 4ST since 35k on my car 4-5 years ago. Covered 40k till now they are still good for another 20-30k and they have made the car very quiet and much better to handle.
I did a lot of research while changing my Goodyear Triplemax. Imo, Continental UC6 and Michelin P4 are the best to have. I went for Michelin P4. Great tyre????
Im a MI driver and these tires have been a game changer for me driving through snow. I bought these around October last year and they were such a boon during this winter relative to my previous all season tires.
3 vehicles with 3 sets of Michelin CC2s (mine, wife, daughter).
Best tires I’ve ever rode one.
Smooth, traction, no road noise, great wet traction, and overall grip.
I have 42k on Michelin defenders on my 2021 xle premium hybrid. Just barely passed inspection. They said to replace them by winter.
Can’t stand them. Michelin Defender LTX would be my choice on the XC90
