Tires MICHELIN or DUNLOP
I said fuck it, bought the second cheapest Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport 2 ($200 for both) and man do i not feel anything different on the streets! Ive hit triple digits and they have all felt safe!
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.
My car came with dunlop enasave ec300 tires which have maxium pressure of 2,75 bar and proper tire pressure for Leaf would be 2,6-3,0.
I’ve tried Pirelli, Bridgestone and Michelin.
The Michelin’s ride is way smoother and softer.
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.
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.
There’s a guide by Michelin out there and according to that a little surface level dry rot is nbd, especially in the tread area
I got the Michelin Cross Climates for my '19 Alltrack.. Did not get to test them during our brief snow. I was hoping for an improvement in highway noise, but they are plenty loud on our typical worn concrete highway surfaces.
