Tires MICHELIN or DEXTER
This is a common question in the sub and you’ll generally hear a lot of recommendations for newer all weather tires such as Michelin CrossClimate 2 or Bridgestone Weatherpeak (installed on mine). These are premium all weather on road tires that’ll do pretty well in light/moderate snow and very good touring performance.
The E rated tire will ride ever so slightly harder, but the drastically increased life will make up for that.
Can't recommend Michelin CrossClimate 2's enough. Has been perfect in all weather for me including freezing cold, snow, wet, and summer temps. They are not noisy and wear well.
Michelin CrossClimate2 staggered 20” on my FE. Superb tires. Quiet, smooth, insane levels of grip wet or dry. No loss of range in the winter, haven’t seen warm weather yet to judge summer range. I’m fine with giving up range for performance.
I bought these dextero all season tires 3 years ago. Every year I drive about 35k to 40k miles. I drive even during snow storm and these tires have a very good grip. So far, I don't have any complaints about this brand. It has a 50k mile warranty.
Michelin is a great tire, higher price range but worth it if you got the dough.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4, great daily tire, all season but incredible grip.
DH22 are indestructible, grippy, and tread holds up but they're very heavy and slow rolling (like noticably slow)
Switching this week from Kumho Ecsta PS91 on 20" Induction wheels to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 on 18" RTX Spider wheels. Will search for a phone app to plot accelerometer output and do a tit-for-tat comparison on a couple of bad local roads.
1. Harsh ride- you feel every little bump. 2. Mediocre performance. 3. Pricey. I just swapped these tires out for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on my Beamer. Best investment I made so far this year. No regrets.
