Those are absolutely amazing tires because they grip so well in the winter plus they handle like sporty high performance tires on winding mountain roads.
The previous owners kept the brakes flushed and the oil changed right on schedule. It had a water pump at replaced at 70k, spark plugs at 60k(getting time for that again), and the normal 80k service with the rear end inspected and new fluid. It has some Michelin Pilots with most of the tread left.
I like the Michelin defenders, pretty good in all elements and lasts about 70k.
Folks liked those Michelins very much, generally.
My pilot all season 4 tires have a 540 treadwear and I got about 20k on the rears.
I just swapped my original Conti's out for Michelin Pilot Sport AS4's (225/45ZR18). Ride is quieter than the Conti's, and grip seems better, too...but that may be due to new tires vs mileage on the old ones.
The CC2s are fantastic, I don’t think I actually lost much range with them more than I fitted them when it was colder. Snow, ice, rain they are amazing. Never had an issue with grip. Only reason I’ll go back to the sports is longevity at higher temps and deluging rain grip.
I have them and so far very happy with the purchase. I use them for every day driving there’s been no big impact on range or road noise.
Have experience with Kumho vs Michelin pilots 4s.
Similar price (ish). Kumho are rubbish. Completely changed the handling of the car for the better when I went on the pilots.
You wont get mileage though.
E93 here formerly with RFTs, they were awful, cracked MV4s and new RFTs every 3-4 months was the norm. Got some Michelin non-RFTs and never looked back
