Tires MICHELIN or Falken
put on michelin cc2s on my xm4c 2 years ago. our temps run from 0F in winter to 115F in summer. i like these tires.
Just got 20 inch Michelin cross climates 2 for $1450.
Falkon Wildpeaks (I love this tire)
I just popped mine on tonight for the east coast snow shenanigans this weekend. They did amazing during 1000+ mile ski trip to Canada. They make the speed variable humming. But man are they soft.
Can vouch for Michelin E Primacy. Quiet and supposedly saves fuel due to low rolling resistance.
I\u2019ve never ever been let down by a set of falken wildpeak at3ws. All season tire so you don\u2019t have to have a dedicated set. Very smooth on the highway for an at tire, available in 10 ply for towing or extreme use, little extra meat on them for when you do go off-road and do fantastic in the snow.
I have Michelin x-ice on my commuter and the thing is a tank in the snow.
Mainer with a 200 here. I actually run Michelin Defender LTX M/S2s on mine year round. M/S = mud & snow.\n\nThey\u2019ve performed really admirably for me in pretty brutal winter conditions we get up here.
I’m also in Chicago, bought the same tires, and just assumed I was heavy footed and that’s why I was can’t break 3.0 mi/kwh even though I’m not that bad. Didn’t realize the tires themselves were less efficient. All that being said I home charge so by my math it’s like 80 dollars extra a year of electricity to avoid the more expensive tires.
They are loud and don’t ride particularly well. Grip is good but it’s definitely a compromise. I think their marketing is just really good and they are not worth the compromise. I would always just run a dedicated touring set and dedicated winters.
