I replaced the stock Yokohama Geolanders with Michelin Defender T+H after 3k miles. The change was quite drastic in noise-reduction and the Defenders performed a lot better too. It absorbed bumps a lot better and handles really well in both wet and snow
Replaced stock toyos after about 6k miles on my ‘22 with Michelin CC2s.
Subjectively quieter, softer ride, and performs better in snow/wet.
I'm happy with my Michelin cross climate. In Minneapolis. They're okay in the snow. Good in wet and dry.
Swapped my hankooks for the defenders last year.
Best tire hands down is the defender. It’s quiet, grippy, wears well. Won’t buy anything else for the summer seasons (run dedicated winters).
After several months with the Pilot A/S 4 tires, all is well. No blowouts, sidewall bubbles or bent rims. You can tell the difference the XL tires make. At first I thought I detected a little rougher ride but soon afterwards I am fine with the ride. Tire noise on certain surfaces is a little louder but overall fine. We will see how it goes with winter coming on, north of Philadelphia.
For winter tires the ice-x by Michelin are fantastic. But I was not impressed with the stock tires especially in heavy rain.
This is my second season rocking the pilot alpin 5’s with no issues. Only issue I have is with the design of the induction wheels: they trap snow inside the wheel and if it sinks to the bottom surface when you’re parked, it can freeze and cause a bad vibration because it puts the wheels off balance.
Went for CC2's - and I cannot complain so far. Haven't had the first real strong snow day, but they have been good in wet conditions so far.
The Michelin sidewalls had all the support in the world, to the point of feeling harsh. Awesome in the corners though but the car definitely thudded over expansion joints and bumps.
one of the michelins on my car blew at about 14,000 mi. it had a slash/crack on the sidewall not covered by any warrenty......It could have been a slasher or road hazard but I had driven out of my driveway and down the road a couple of miles and then it blew.......if someone knifed it it seems it would have been flat before I left..........I don't recall any debris on the road that could've caused the cut........other than that they seemed ok....
