Tires MICHELIN or GENERAL TIRE
Got my CC2s a few months ago and drove 5 hours in hard rain with pools of water on the highway with zero issues. Like it was dry traction. Drove a bit on ice and snow and amazing traction. Safety is worth the extra money I spent on these premium tires.
I have the cross climate and they are far better in snow than the stock primacy tires. Since switching it’s snowed a bunch more times and it’s been fine.
Even just driving 20 miles the OEM contis pctx and switching directly to the Michelins I can say they are definitely a more quality tire. For 1 the sidewalls on them dont create a worrying lip as if theyre stretched. The ride quality on them is absolutely amazing! Feel much more durable and going over normal bumps or the occasional pothole thats unavoidable gives me way more confidence. Also due to the stiffer sidewalls they feel way more responsive. Drove around 100 miles on them today and can say for certain that I will continue to be using these for however long I own this car!
I am a big fan of General tires in general in the moderate budget category... they are a great cost to benefit tire and part of Continental tires.
The Grabber HTS 60 is a great tire... as long as you don't have to deal with winter conditions.
I ran these on my Mustang when I couldn't get Pilot Sport 4S tires at the time. I liked them. They were grippy and comfortable but did have a softer sidewall than the Michellin.
Tire brand I have always been very satisfied with Michelin Tires for traction, ride and quite ride (little road noise).
Highly recommend Michelin. Ride well, quiet,with 80k warranty.
Pilot Sport All Season 4 is the natural progression of the tire you have toward a car that's more daily-able. They're great. Run them as my summers on my Fiat 124 Abarth. Not quite as grippy as a PS4/PS4S, but with the same good predictable feeling you'd want + less variable handling when cold vs. warm, better wear life, and better performance when temps get a little colder in the fall and winter. It's the same tire design philosophy but in a more practical package that's, imo, better for street use. Great choice if you want to get a bit slideways but also have a very predictable experience.
Michelin had 2 models in the Pilot series - Sporty and Street Radial. The Street Radial was excellent, while the Indian made Sporty was horrible.
I got the Michelin mxm4 235/45 R18 tires, and by the time of first rotation at 5k miles, the rear tires went from 10/32" to 6/32". At 10k miles, all tires were already at 4/32 thread depth!
