Tires MICHELIN or Firestone
Thread warranty is 60,000 miles. Michelin CrossClimate2 all season 19”.
I got around 23k miles from my continentals. I switched to the Michelin defender AT tire and I'm going on 60k miles with tread left. Insignificant impact on range.
That's my recommendation having just swapped my 18" Michelins for winter prep with 4/32, 49,000 miles on them, balanced/aligned 2x in their lifespan (1 when I got it, they came with the car, 2 at 7,000 miles)
I run 27-29 cold on my 305 and 325 Michelins.
I have to recommend Michelin County Rocks. 26x1.75, smooth enough for paved roads just enough tread for some gravel. Cheap and durable.
Firestone Indy hawk. Good summer tire
Always go for Michelin if road noise is an important point for you.
Another vote for Alpins. I live in Colorado at 8000' elevation with over 300\" of snow...Avid skier etc and would never run anything else. The tire is so good in everything I literally run them all year round, carving canyons in July...rain every day in Oct/April...snowy commutes to the hospital in the middle of the night in Jan: no problem. It rocks in everything!
The crossclimates excel in dry and snow, NOT rain. That is where vredestein shines.
I had Firestone’s (Firestone is owned by Bridgestone) and I hated them with a passion. They didn’t handle the rain or snow good at all, and after only 20k miles I had this, cracking all over the tires.
