Mich Cross Climate 2 if they are ever going to touch snow but also perform exceptionally well in rain. Not cheap, considered a luxury tire, but very quiet. They have a snowflake on them, but I see people all over New Mexico use them year round probably because of monsoon season. If you ever wished for a tire you would not have to change when winter is over this is it.
You’ll notice a difference. On a gentle downhill with me running the previous GP4000, I’ve coasted past my boss who was on Gatorskins and pedaling. The 5000 has perceptibly better rolling resistance than the 4000.
Michelin cross climate 2 is the master all season tire. People who say otherwise clearly don’t drive in the snow. It competes or even beats some snow tires in stopping distance. Oh, they are fun as hell to drive on. Ignores big puddles and slush outright.
Having run continental DWS 06s for many non-summers. And this past season trying the competing Michelin. My perception is that the Michelins are quieter on rough surfaces, chip seal etc...
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season. Second best all-season tire I’ve found. The best was the Vredestein Hypertrac, and it’s 20% cheaper than the rest.
Personally, I have always had really good results with Michelin, mostly good results with Yokohama (the S7 Advan tires were a little disappointing on my TL), mediocre results at best with Bridgestone, and generally bad results in Pirelli.
Michelin by far. I have Pilot Sport AS3+ on my car, and they’re fantastic.
Personally I’ve been buying Michelin pilot sports and I don’t see it changing any time soon at this point
It’s the best tire I’ve purchased over the years and until I drive something better I can’t justify any other brand
I’ve had loads of pirellis too, and they were my go to prior to the Michelins,
Performance in rain on the pilot sports is what really sets them apart for me. Might as well be dry roads 24/7 with those things
I’ve got the defenders. They get loud over 60 too.
The best I've had are the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs (I and II) for summer. For winter ofcourse the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90s for the Michigan winters. I've had a set of Kumho Ecsta MX's and they weren't bad either, but the worst by far were the MICHELIN PRIMACY all-seasons. Noisy, tread lasted less than 20k miles and obviously it's unsafe to wait until 2/32" so not even replaceable under warranty (which claims 80k miles treadwear ....pfft). Never again.
