Tires MICHELIN or Hankook
I'm running Michelin CrossClimates most of the year, and Vredestein Wintrac Pros (on 18" wheels) in the winter. Both are great tires, the Michelins were an immediate and noticable improvement over the stock tires, especially on wet roads.
I only use CC2 on my Tesla Model S here in Utah. I get 60,000 miles out of them and they’re perfect for the climate here. Best and most reliable tire I’ve ever owned.
After seeing Michelins go the distance on every car that came into the shop I switched to them and never looked back.
I got them for my wife's car, a luxury car that is quiet. We had light snow + local very icy roads last week and they were fine. Comfortable.
Hankook winter icept evo3 were the only options when I was in the market for new winter tires in 235/35R19 and 295/30R19 last year.
Got her the Michelin pilot super sports. Lowkey it’s some post purchase clarity, but I also regret not getting sum a little cheaper????. Happy regardless
I have them on my wife’s 2019 Mazda CX-9. It’s a very capable tire for what you’re asking for above. While they are directional they are not very noisy. Having said that I keep up with tire rotation (5k) as well as checking proper inflation every 3-4 weeks.
For long hot summers, they’ll work, but you’ll get better dry grip and road feel from something like the Hankook Kinergy 4S2. Those hold up better in heat and don’t get as squishy.
I live in southern Ontario in Canada and after one winter of driving around mainly in the city I decided that they weren\u2019t enough especially when going up any sort of incline with snow on the ground. I recently got a set of Michelin Ice-X tires and it makes a world of a difference. In the end if there\u2019s anything more than a light dusting on the ground dedicated winters is the way to go. Also for context I drive a FWD Volvo V50. All in all they are great but as someone else said. Jack of all trades, master of none.
The Michelin Primacy MXM4 with the T0/T1 designator are easily some of the worst (premium) tires I've ever used. I was so glad to get worse range to not have howling in my cabin after 5-10k miles on them.
I thought it was something weird I did to make these so bad, but had the same issue on two separate Model 3s, and moving to the Pirelli EV tires fixed it.
