Tires MICHELIN or Cooper
I put Cooper CS5 Grand Touring's on my Fit this summer and they've been great!
I ran Pilot Sport 4S and they were great, although pricey.
our 2016 didn't come with falken, but whatever similar brand it had were awful and I happily replaced them at 20-25k miles with a set of michelin a/s 3+, which have been much better.
Replaced ours at 20k. They were so loud! Michelin primacy tour I believe. Huge upgrade
Cooper AT3 XLT. Fantastic road manners, quiet, smooth, amazing wet/snow grip (also 3PMSF rated). Also, they look fantastic.
I had the Cross Climates on my last car. They were mounted Feb 2021. The Cross Climates came out in 2015 as a summer tire with winter capabilities. They were pretty good. I liked how they handled when I went through a huge deep long puddle/water build up on the highway. My car wasnt pulled to the left if the water was on the left for example. They handled pretty decently in the snow. While driving over slush or ice on the highway I felt the car was secure and planted. Although I did feel some slipping at times but recovered because of their grip right away. I think they handled better than the Michelin Sport All season tires I had on my BMW. As for summer handling I thought they were great. They did feel a bit slower or clunky going into fast corners but they gripped well.
When my OEMs are gone I have always bgt Michelins and been very pleased. If I get 40-50K miles on a tire I'm happy.
Running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's -225/45 r17. Over a year on them in pothole Ohio. No problems whatsoever, Even with hitting the odd pothole directly.
Michelin Xi3 on my Mustang. I got stuck once in my alleyway because of a really bad ice storm, but otherwise no problems. They are a bit floaty (as winter tires tend to be), but otherwise good dry performance too.
I swear, this is the worst tire I have ever encountered in my entire life. Sure it rides smooth and soft, and makes almost no noise whatsoever, but is SUCKS as a tire! The tire gives up traction all the time. It totally destroys my confidence when driving my 2003 GTI 1.8T Sport.
