Tires MICHELIN or Hankook
The Hankooks are a great tire in an odd position in the marketplace. You could call them a very comfortable performance tire, or a very performant touring tire. Since I live in Texas and do so many highway miles, I love them.
Mėgstu hankook. Geras brandas, gana tyliai ir minkštai važiuojasi, sukibimas geras, realiai vos ne pigiausios iš premium klasės.
The Michelin PA5 is also an excellent tire.
Michelin Cross Climate 2 on my 09 Impreza sedan. Road noise is better than the winters I had, but I’ve heard they’re kinda noisy to some people. Wet and dry performance, especially in the hotter months is significantly better than my winter tires, and I feel much more connected to the road. Spirited drives on twisty backroads feel much better. In snow storms, starting/stopping feels amazing, like the snow isn’t even there, and I’ve never had an issue pulling through 5+ inches of snow. Making light and smooth turns has also been very good. However, I find it much easier to break traction compared to my previous winter tires if you’re being reckless, and it's harder to regain. Aggressive 90-degree downhill turns can make the back end step out. There's also a reported 1-3 mpg hit. Despite this, I would most likely buy them again.
Michelin cross climate 2’s on my 2016 Impreza sport hatch 5mt. I’ve had them for about a year and a half in central PA and they’ve treated me very well. They’re awesome in snow and the tread life has been good so far. They’re a little more noisy on the highway, but I definitely feel more comfortable driving the car in bad weather over my Jeep, unless the snow fall is over like 8 inches. Michelin cross climate 2 gets my vote!
Michelin Cross Climate 2. I don't feel the need to run dedicated snowies but the CC2s have been fantastic.
I have a set on my Mach 1 and they’re great. People say they’re “noisy” but I don’t really hear it…If they are it’s drowned out by my exhaust and I can’t tell ????
I just swapped out for another pair of New Englanders on a RAV4, got 52,000 out of the last set. They are quiet, traction hasn’t been a problem, live in northern New England.
Came with Hankooks Ventus S1 Evo 3. My previous car I was running Michelin Cup 2's and while definitely more grip they didn't last very long.
I bought a set of Michelins for my F250 several years ago because they were the “best”. The truck had a vibration after the new tires were installed but since they were Michelins I didn’t even think it was a tire issue. All four tires were out of round. ALL FOUR.
