Tires MICHELIN or KENDA
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.
Michelin pilot sport as are the best all season tire out there, hence why you see them on supercars and hypercars.
But the best set I have ever owned was a set of Michelin Defenders. Smooth and you always felt glued to the road.
Michelin defender 2s here's awesome tire performs well in heavy ass rain
I have Michelin Defenders on my ‘17 Jetta and they’re great.
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.
Those winter tires are gonna get absolutely destroyed if you're driving them in 50+ degree weather. Not to mention it's one of those garbage Chinese tires on top of things.
