Tires MICHELIN or Firestone
As much as I love the Continental DWS 06+, I needed to purchase a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires. The Continental DWS 06+ were fine. I got by the Winter without problems. There were only 3 times that I felt that I could use a more Winter like tire.
Michelin pilot sport as are the best all season tire out there, hence why you see them on supercars and hypercars.
But the best set I have ever owned was a set of Michelin Defenders. Smooth and you always felt glued to the road.
Michelin defender 2s here's awesome tire performs well in heavy ass rain
I have Michelin Defenders on my ‘17 Jetta and they’re great.
Really liking the road 6's, although I'm not doing 10% off-road. These have been fine in light gravel fwiw.
I valued snow traction over rolling resistance and got Michelin CrossClimate 2. I’m very happy I did. They are wearing like iron and gripping in all conditions.
I opted for Michelin pilot sport 4S. And I'm so glad I did! Quiet, sticky, hyper responsive, and with a 30k tread wear warranty. So far, I'm really impressed.
I had them on my excursion and while they do ride nice and look cool they will be a hit on mpg, as all AT tires will. And this is where you have to be honest with yourself, we all want to pretend that we take our SUV, off-road, and have adventures with it but, if I’m being real with myself, 95% of its time on road and that other 5% of the time is not a trail that would require an aggressive tire. I saw a decrease of 15% on both of the SUVs I traded a highway oriented tire for an AT tire. And in all honesty it’s definitely not worth that fuel economy loss. Yeah sure they look cool but now in my jeep grand Cherokee V6, I struggle to get 21 miles per gallon on the highway when on the OE tires I could easily get 25. That really adds up to a lot of Extra fuel
I currently have a set of Firestones on my car. I hate them. Noisest tire I have ever used, and they are leaving black marks on my garage floor. But they were cheep and that's all I could afford at the time. Never again.
