Tires MICHELIN or Firestone
I own a set of Firestone indy 500's that I inherited, and I really like the good grip and predictable slip plus the even wear and low noise. Definitely going to order another set
1,000 miles ago I replaced my worn Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (A/S 4) tires in stock 225/40-18 size with another set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires in a taller 225/45-18 size. One MAJOR surprise with the new taller tires is a DRAMATIC improvement in ride. The reduction in harshness with the taller tires is shocking to me. Yes, the car is still firm riding - but these taller tires do a fantastic job of taking the edge off all the road imperfections. Even my daugter can feel the difference.
I recently had CC2 tires on Audi Q5 2021. Its huge upgrade compared to OEM Kumho tires. But....I have lost 10% mileage :(( Just came here to tell considering this point whoever is on fence.
Prefer the Firestone's, however, since they're surprisingly quiet.
Anyways, blizzaks are Canada's most widely sold winter tires, I bought Michelin X-Ice, what you need to realize is that the cheapest winter tire is going to be better than the best summer tire under a certain temperature.
Temps below 40 will ruin your summers. The material they build summers with is different than winters. Below 40, it will crack and literally turn into plastic. I went with the Michelin CC2 because they last a lot longer than pure winter tires with only a tiny bit less traction on ice and snow.
Am Michelin CrossClimate.
Pe 4 mașini.
Cel mai mult am făcut 120.000 km cu ele.

Michelin x-ice are for more roads and packed snow. I have a set of x ice 2 that are great, lots of grip in the winter. Much better stopping on plowed roads, and deeper snow they handle great
The tech balanced the tires. Found one tire was WAY out of balance 5oz. Told me something was wrong with the tire but he balanced it and put it back on. The shudder disappeared for the first 5kms and then came back even stronger.
Don't risk it. 260kmph is already over the tires limits of 239kmph.
