I run Goodyear F1 Eagles in the summer, and in late October swap over to 3PMSF all-season Michelin cross-climates. The all-seasons have a much better wear tolerance for the occasions where we have 15C in the middle of winter. My Audi only has about 320 BHP, but in the snow / ice, I do not want to be using summer tyres. Equally in the summer, I want to be able to push it on rural roads in Devon without trashing all-seasons.
The cross climates don’t have best grip for handling but are ok … but they are just safer in colder weather especially with kids in the car.
Been on 32mm pro 5’s since August and I’ve been very impressed for using them for general riding. In terms of endurance tires they feel incredibly fast and grippy. No punctures even though they are on the lighter end of endurance tire offerings.
Mióta megvan az autó (3 éve) négyévszakos abroncsok vannak alatta. Először Hankook volt, tavaly kapott Michelin Crossclimate gumikat.
Mentem már vele tükörjégen, szakadó hóesésben, most a letakarítatlan 20 centis hóban is. Nem mondom, hogy itt-ott nem csusszant meg, de nem volt eddig semmi gond vele.
A few months ago I replaced an old set of [Panracer Gravel King Slick+] 35mm and butyl tubes with the [Michelin Pro5] 35mm with TPU tubes.
Very happy with the performance, they genuinely feel faster, which they are according to [bicyclerollingresistance] they are.
I’d go with the Michelin Defenders. I bought a set of Michelin X Tour A/S 2s (Costco version of Defender 2s) back in April 2023, and after almost 3 years and 70k miles, there’s still plenty of tread left on them. They’ve lasted twice as long as my previous tires now, even with regular rotations.
Michelin defender 2 easily out of those options. It has been a tire that has consistently lasted over 80k miles in 4 of my families vehicles, all with different drivers but regular rotations at Costco. Also has very low rolling resistance so youll save fuel.
They suck after a bunch of heat cycling sadly. I like the ECS02 on my F even in winter they are fine. I just don’t act up. Yes they won’t grip as well as they should be drive like a civilized person you’ll be ight
CC2 perform very well in snow. But they are loud, uncomfortable, and not gas-efficient. When driving, you will feel that your car keeps swaying left and right a lot due to CC2's directional tread.
Hey, I have a Michelin set from 2018 and they are hard like hockey pucks. I don’t run on them cause I have another set that I’m on.
