Little late to this thread. But my wife had Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires on her Ford Explorer when she bought it new. They are a high mileage compound tire. And she got every bit of 75,000 miles out of them over 5 years. No major or noticeable loss of grip, did fairly well in the rain, even at the end.
Ditch the Geolanders and get Michelin CrossClimate2 tires.
CrossClimates are a much better tire in my experience and opinion. They are stiffer and less soft, much more sporty feel but with balance. I felt like I had less control with a boaty steering feel on the Weatherpeaks.
Night and day with Michelin Snow X tires though. Now, I prefer it over our 4x4 truck for many snow situations (except in fresh snow fall cases where bumper clearance is an issue).
I’ve got Dunlop Winter Sport 5 195/55 R16 87H and they’re great. Consumption, noise and grip all well balanced.
Normal tires were all-season Michelins. It was like night and day on the Blizzaks. My car was on rails when I wasn't driving like a turd. I plowed a couple food-deep right turn lanes that hadn't been touched in an 08 A4 (quattro, ofc) with no problem.
Cross climate twos put them on My 2020 back in October. They've been really good so far. Haven't really tried them in heavy snow yet. But dry weather there very quiet and ride. Very good in wet weather they handle very good so far. I'm very happy with this purchase.
Just took my cc2 in the snow the other day and they rip. Honestly shocked how good they are. Also great in the wet and spirited dry driving
Chinese tires now are pretty decent and are a bargain. The only serious issues I've faced surprisingly were from branded ones - I've had bubbles on Yokohama and Dunlop.
I changed from the OEM tires to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's a few months ago and have been disappointed with them. They do have more grip than the OEM tires but feel really squirrely and "Mushy" while steering, especially when driving more "spiritedly". I miss how stable the car felt with the original tires.
