Tires MICHELIN or GT Radial
Michelin pilot road 6; you won't regret it.
I have the factory Michellin E. Primacy on my highland RWD and quite impressed. A good all round balance of wet and dry grip and efficiency. Not too far off the PS5 I had on my old car but I wouldn't track with them. Good enough to have confidence on the road though.
I have them on my model 3. I think they are a tad quieter but small efficiency loss noticed. I mean minuscule. Have about 1200mi on them but enjoy it so far.
I recently put them on my model 3 and I am happy so far. Seems comparable to michelin mxm4 oems on noise. There is more tread so they should last longer and my calibrated butt dyno suggests a bit more grip.
Small penalty on range, but it’s close enough where i’m not totally sure yet.
I wouldn’t hesitate getting the Michelin LT ATX tires, I am of the opinion that it is a better tire than the defender line.
I run Michelin X-Ice's in the winter and they are dynamite. Way better traction than the scorpions in snow, slush, and ice.
Based on store inventory and ratings, I’m going with Michelin CrossClimate2 since they are available today.
I recently got the Defender LTX MS2 and was deciding between the Toyo AT3 and the Defenders. Since I drive 99% on highways, with an annual off-road camping trip and a few winter snow trips, I’m thrilled with my choice! The tires are very quiet and well-cushioned. The tread seems aggressive enough for my needs.
GT Radial tires are manufactured by Giti Tire, a Singapore-based tire manufacturer with nine facilities worldwide. Ironman tires are a budget sub-brand of Hercules Tires, which is in partnership with Cooper Tires, and manufactures its tires in different countries.
Realistically they are probably close to equivalent to each other, but both are low end budget tire brands. They seem to fair well on dry pavement and do marginally well in wet conditions, but are noticeably lacking in snow and winter conditions.
I just got new tires on my 2020 Rav4 TRD Off Road. I had the same tires and they were needing replacement at 39,632 miles. They didn’t seem to last very long, granted I just drive it on the road
