Tires MICHELIN or Goodyear
Tires wear out faster… I squeezed 43000 mi out of Michelin Primacy tires which isn’t bad.
I ordered new Michelins almost immediately and the ride difference to me is amazing , but the biggest factor was the reduced stopping distance. The Turanza seems to have no stopping performance at all.
I have good all seasons tyres ( Michelin CrossClimate 2), i have yet to notice any unexpected loss of traction.
Just had 4 Michelin defender2 tires installed. A little over $600 out the door. Free rotations and fixes. 80k warranty. Can’t go wrong.
I have CC2s on my Volvo XC90. So far I've put 45k miles and anticipate replacing them after another 10k or so. The thing I really like about Michelin tires is that they are so consistent right to the end.
I’ve never regretted buying Michelin tires. Can’t say this about Yokohamas. I can’t say what feels better about Michelin tires, they just driving feel better.
My wife had Costco install the CC2 on our ‘20, which is her daily driver. They’ve been excellent in the Minnesota winter and quiet over their first 7500 miles. I was concerned about the traction before we got them, but they are good in the snow and ice.
I currently have Michelin Primacy 4 tires under my Mini Cooper 116hp, and they're very nice, although not that brilliant in wet weather.
Michelin are fantastic, but super loud, especially after 15k miles.
The best I've had are the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs (I and II) for summer. For winter ofcourse the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90s for the Michigan winters. I've had a set of Kumho Ecsta MX's and they weren't bad either, but the worst by far were the MICHELIN PRIMACY all-seasons. Noisy, tread lasted less than 20k miles and obviously it's unsafe to wait until 2/32" so not even replaceable under warranty (which claims 80k miles treadwear ....pfft). Never again.
