Tires MICHELIN or Hankook
Will be same here in a few weeks, except Michelin X ice on steels. They kinda look small on the truck to me compared to the XLT wheelset but they ride good. If you have AWD, you will really be loving it in the snow. FWD is serviceable, but can slip going uphill if I have to stop. Torque steering in deep snow too, I have to apply constant corrections. AWD should be much better. There is an efficiency hit with the softer rubber, but low temps make a much bigger impact on mpg I think. Not a worry really, just the cost of doing business.
I’m at 220k. About 150k were all pilot sports. The ion evos made an immediate impact in sound and efficiency. These are what I will be going forward with on my vehicles from now on.
I just recently got the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s and not the ZP version because of all the known negatives of runflats and I have to say they're amazing. They improve ride quality and traction is surprisingly similar to the Eagle F1s I was running before
Michelin Defender LT M/S Quiet on pavement, handle great, good milage, excellent in rain, very good in snow, very good on dirt. Not the best option for mud, but why the heck would you want to drive in mud anyway?
Just got the Hankook iON ht installed on my Rivian, as of today, there are five different options for the 21-in Wheels: Michelin Defender LTX M/S2, Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Elect, Bridgestone Alenza Prestige, Yokohama Geolandar A/T4 G018 (all terrain), Hankook iON HT The Yokohama are the only all-terrain option the rest are all season. I personally went with Hankook because of the deal I got and the 80,000 mi warranty.
I replaced them with the Michelin CrossClimate 2s just in time for the rainy season in my area. even with the new tires, I can easily lose traction and spin my wheels if I gun it off the line because this car is a FWD torque monster. But when I spin the CC2s, I never feel like I don\u2019t have control of the vehicle. I\u2019m really glad I upgraded the tires for the rain.
The OEM Michelin Energy Saver tires sound borderline dangerous in the rain. I'm in SoCal; the previous owner had already swapped to Michelin Defender 2s lol. The Defenders though, they got grip for days.
I’m running the alpin 5 and the ground connection was strong.
My Michelin crossclimate 2 were great first winter, good second winter and terrible third winter.
I went with cross climate 2s, but the performance has been really disappointing in wet conditions at low speeds, i lose traction often.
