Tires MICHELIN or IRONMAN
I have been using Michelin Pilot Sport S 4, and they are the best tire I've ever used on the car and I have used many brands.
When I finally wear out my Bolt tires I am going to be a decent set of Michelines possibly one size up, and see how long they last me.
As unbelievable at this picture looks I have had exactly the same tyre wear on my R58 - my front tyres 3-4mm across tread and both rear tyres almost completely bald across entire width and these were Michelin PS 4
I had put Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires on my Model 3. I lost about 10% range but gained a much better traction in rain and snow.
Anyways I'm picking up a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2s tomorrow...I am very impressed how these tires preform on our Atlas.
Michelin - I've had the Pilot Super Sport and Pilot AS4+. They're definitely not cheap, but hands down superior to the Continental equivalent. The AS4+ is almost grippy enough to compete with the Conti summer tire, while also being quieter and producing slightly higher gas mileage.
I've rocked Michelin AS4 (and their predecessor) for years in my cars...Zero issues and only switched to the Continental just to try something different...the performance they can now get out of all season tires is pretty impressive.
As much as I love the Continental DWS 06+, I needed to purchase a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires. The Continental DWS 06+ were fine. I got by the Winter without problems. There were only 3 times that I felt that I could use a more Winter like tire.
Used these on my explorer. Had to replace 3 in the first 3 months. After that, had no problems for 4 years. Had some on my f150, and swapped them for some nitto grapplers and wished I didn't. 95% of my truck driving is on the freeway. They are just so loud and the mpg is 2 to 3 mpg less. The defenders did so much better in the snow on paved roads.
Th Michelins that came on my wife's '12 Escape hadvcracked sidewalls. There was an issue with some Michelins back then. Her tire model was in the recall, but not her size.
