Tires MICHELIN or Continental
I have driven 5,000 miles on these tires with no loss in gas milage. I have 2023 Toyota Hybrid Highlander... I drive at 80 MPH on average and still get 28 to 30 mpg. Great tires.
I immediately felt the difference when it got cold and switched to Continental DSW 06 plus and they are spectacular.
Unless something new dropped recently the Michelin IceX still dominates when it comes to rolling resistance for a snow tire. Comparing them to the stock energy savers in the same weather conditions, I could perceive no decrease in efficiency.
You'll never find a better all around tire. Sure some tires will corner better or handle puddling better but for every condition (which most of us see) they're the best. I've owned them all and for towing 12,000 lbs on and slightly off road I trust Michelins.
For tires, just buy brands that don't spend over 50% of their budget on sponsorship and advertising like Michelin, Pirelli etc...
At Walmart, was $900 for all 4 tires (22 inch rims) balanced and mounted.
If these tires are the only ones that meet your budget requirements then the continental is going to suit you best in my opinion, obviously you could spend more and get a better tire from Les Schwab or Costco, BUT again every budget has its own needs, personally Ive owned a vehicle with those continentals on it and it didn’t do bad in the rain and I didn’t overly notice road noise
I recently got these (21") for my R1T, around 2,000km on them so far. Much better traction, slightly better range, quieter and smoother drive. Depending where you are, they are not winter tires. I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada, and still slide left/right in slushy snow in all purpose mode while driving half the speed limit.
I have those continental tires on my car right now and they’re really good
Also have had General Altimax on a Subaru that were fine as well as Michelin X-ice on a BMW x-1.
Running Michelin Sport 4S - On 21’ GTI - While they are great in grip and fun they absolutely SUCK for wear. We rotate every 5k on the GTI they lasted 12k…10 months in south Florida. I check the air every month.
