Tires MICHELIN or Cooper
I used Michelin 2ct in the front and Michelin road 6 in the back for one season because the front lasts way longer than the rear. Had no problems.
I’ve tried Pirelli, Bridgestone and Michelin.
The Michelin’s ride is way smoother and softer.
I'd highly recommend Cooper St Maxx. I've had Duratracs, KO2 and Wild peaks and the St Maxx were much better than those options.
I'm about 7 months into CC2s on my 2021 Forester and I'm now a fan. It took some getting used to but the driving has been really comfortable. Really good grip in wet weather and I'm not really seeing much if any dip in MPG. On longer trips I'm still clocking 34-35 MPG. For the noise people mentioned, I don't notice much of a difference from the stock tires - Bridgestone Ecopias.
I have them on my Forester, like them a lot. I don't notice the noise too much, but the Forester is rather loud anyways. They seem to be wearing at a normal rate.
I think the michelins have the slight edge in feel and edge grip, but the cost of them is just too high to justify at nearly double what Roadsmart 3's are selling for on sale, now that the Roadsmart 4's are out.
Had them on my MB C300 4matic. Little to no road noise, amazingly smooth ride, and were great in all conditions. Even snow.
Just put Michelin pilot sport 4s on my rsx type s. So much better than the BFGs that were on it previously. Pricey but recommended.
Im on the Michelins from the factory and just noticed the rears are starting to show some wear in the center. I’m at about 14,000 miles.
My personal experience: Michelin defender 100.000 miles warranty. Worn to ZERO profile after 35.000 miles. NEVER MORE!
