What's most important to me is the traction: dry, wet, snow. I want one of the best all season tires I can get, regardless of the sound or ride quality. I ended up going with Michelin CrossClimate 2, lots of reviews out there and I believe one of the best all season.
My experience was the same with the factory tires (I know you changed yours out). I replaced those at 70k with Michelin Cross Country II’s and HOLY CRAP, what a difference.
The CrossClimate2 is an incredible tire that beats everything else in its class. Look at the reviews online, it's amazing and worth every penny. The Kumhos aren't nearly as good.
Trust me, the Michelin Cross Climate 2's are a fantastic tire, do well in all kinds of weather and just make the car feel more planted.
I can buy this certificate for around $150 (total for 4 tires) right after I buy a new car? Michelin self sealing OEM tires, that basically have no warranty for blow outs or side wall issues. Seems like a bargain on a car with no spare.
I have two Michelin tires made in West Germany.
You can get Michelin summer tires they have a milage warranty on some of their models, make sure you get the ones that match your driving because they might have a lot of different choices.
I picked up a set of 18 x 8 ET 35 mm Radius W115 wheels in Titanium Gunmetal with 245 60 18 Michelin Cross Climate 2 All Weather tires. Winters are mild in the area so I decided to give these a try.
They were fine for highway. I got a flat in 1 and decided it was time for an upgrade at 22,500. They had plenty of tread left. They just didn't feel like a truck tire to me.
Only experience with OE Hancocks was on a VW Passat. Took delivery on new car and drove home from the dealer in a snow storm and it was the most severe case of white knuckle syndrome ever. The car was absolutely dangerous and scary.
