Replaced those with Michelin PS AS4. Contis were quieter and a bit more comfortable than the Michelins; overall performance was similar and both played well in everyday street driving which included dry, wet and light to moderate snow in northern NJ, but I feel the Michelins had a slight edge in both traction and steering response.
I have an xc90 which is also awd. Had a screw in the side and they just replaced that tyre. I only use continental which have excellent wear. I think the current set is at 80,000km
Been running the Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires since. Close to 100k in 2 sets. Been great tires, mostly highway miles and used the 4x4 on a hunting trip, rain and some mud and handled great. Love the tires.
I ended up going down the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S route, although I put it off quite a bit longer than I had initially planned. I also ended up going with a 20 mm wider section than factory, for a 255/45-18 square setup. I spent the past Sunday bombing up and down some North Bay back roads, and now feel somewhat qualified to give an opinion. My thoughts are as follows: Overall, it's a pretty night-and-day difference. I didn't think the switch would be as immediately noticeable to a relative casual such as myself, but it absolutely is. It's improved flaws I assumed were intrinsic to the car, and didn't think could be resolved solely with tires; at least not to this extent. Some specifics include: Steering feel has greatly improved, loading up in the turns when it really didn't before. Steering remains relatively light overall, but now you can at least feel what the front end is doing in a corner. On-center feedback is similar, or maybe slightly worse than before, but overall I'd say it's more than a fair trade. There's so much more grip than before, especially noticeable up front. I've yet to get this car to understeer with these new tires on them. As I allude to in this post from last year, when I was on the old tires, I was consistently battling with the car pushing when driven hard. That's pretty much gone, and I'm not sure if the limits of the Michelins will be found by me; at least not on the street. Axle-hop is an issue I previously had to drive around; but that problem has been greatly reduced. I'm a little unsure of why this is (ChatGPT tells me the firmer sidewalls and extra grip of the Michelins should actually make this problem worse), but I promise it's better. I have only put a few hundred miles on these tires since getting them mid-June, so I really can't comment on things such as tire life or wet-weather ability. Road noise and comfort are good, but not really a noticeable change for me. I was a little nervous getting tires almost an inch wider than factory, I thought they might look goofy; but I honestly think most people would be fooled into believing they're OEM. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase; and I'd go so far as to say it's transformed my car. While my Mustang will always be a bit too heavy and wide to feel like a genuine sports car, it's now a much more willing participant on a back road and it is way easier to carry speed through the turns. An increase in turn-in ability at the front and a decrease in skittishness at the rear also make me a much more confident driver behind the wheel.
I use these on my prius. I don't use anything but continentals. I've been driving on these for 10 years on different Priuses that I've had. The tariffs are causing the prices to go up.
I'm always a fan of Continentals offerings. They seem to last and not get noisy. I put a new set of the Extremecontacts on a couple months ago and they handle very well.
I LOVED my Michelin Crossclimate 2s! I hit a deer and totaled my sweet 2015 CX5, but I attribute my record braking time to those sweet tires. Worth every penny. Never felt unsafe during snow and ice, plowed through rain, and all around fabulous investment.
Eu am cumpărat Michelin Crossclimate și sunt foarte bune.
Have a P2 Myvi at home using the Conti CC5; quite ok lar, it's a budget-ish tyre that's rather durable and not too noisy
My problem with Michelin is the tires are just too soft, they wear a lot faster than some of the tougher tire brands
