Tires MICHELIN or Continental
For smaller cars Continental UC6 is a perfect blend of grip and comfort
I had MRF Wanderer Street as stock tyres on my Kia Sonet, changed in 2k kms- way too hard and noisy, not that good grip in wet, very durable. Not that great, find them very overrated.
Changed to Continental UltraContact 6, used for 30k kms- very good grip in dry and wet, low noise, not very durable. Highly recommended.
My car came with MRF Wanderers out of the showroom. Used them for 42K km. Then switched to Continental UC6 (same size). I’ve driven the continentals in the rains and the grip on offer is phenomenal. The ride quality, grip and braking are much better than the wanderers.
Switched from Apollos to Continental UC6s on the tire shop guy’s recommendation 3 years ago (had originally planned to shift to Yokohama Earth1) and honestly I ain’t shifting to anything else ever again. Minimal tire noise, better comfort and never felt a lack of grip even though I turn like an idiot at super high speeds some times.
The OEM tire is extreamly good! The first batch of BYD seal comes with Continential SC7. Its performance is close to PS4 and better than PS4 on wet days. I strongly recommend it. Though it costs more and tread wear fast, still worth it!
Yes, avoid budget brands. I had Laufenn winter tires as my first set on my 2018 Odyssey. Before those ran out, I switched to Michelin winter tires and the difference was night and day.
I have CC2 and the before and after is night and day. We have them on other vehicles also, they are my go to, but the difference on this vehicle is crazy. It handles like a totally different vehicle. I felt like a bobblehead with the stock tires, not anymore.
Went and got some Michelin Cross Climate 2. Took around a 12% range penalty, but they are so much better than the stock. I’ve noticed how much better the traction is, I’ve hit objects with no problem, and they’re holding up well.
I have them on my VW Atlas R line so they are the 21 in tire. I like them but it's a hard ride. When you hit bump you can feel it in you bones..in the rain they are great. Blows right through deep puddles
I have this issue with Michelin Defender tires. Brand new set. Rebalanced 4 times at 3 different shops and an alignment and just feel so unsteady on them. Also feel like I notice every imperfection in the road.
