Tires MICHELIN or KENDA
After several months with the Pilot A/S 4 tires, all is well. No blowouts, sidewall bubbles or bent rims. You can tell the difference the XL tires make. At first I thought I detected a little rougher ride but soon afterwards I am fine with the ride. Tire noise on certain surfaces is a little louder but overall fine. We will see how it goes with winter coming on, north of Philadelphia.
For winter tires the ice-x by Michelin are fantastic. But I was not impressed with the stock tires especially in heavy rain.
This is my second season rocking the pilot alpin 5’s with no issues. Only issue I have is with the design of the induction wheels: they trap snow inside the wheel and if it sinks to the bottom surface when you’re parked, it can freeze and cause a bad vibration because it puts the wheels off balance.
Went for CC2's - and I cannot complain so far. Haven't had the first real strong snow day, but they have been good in wet conditions so far.
Just had the Cross Climate 2s installed and I am loving them. Smoother, quieter ride. Everything I've watched and read about them having great wet/dry, and amazing snow traction is totally accurate.
I have the CC2’s on my Polestar 2 DM on Vancouver Island. They have been great this past week in the snow and ice and were fine earlier in the year.
I've been running the Kenda Kruz on my Wide Glide for a few years now, I'm very happy with them! Great rain tire and I get more miles out of them then Dunlop tires.
That why i changed my tires from eco contact 6 to the Michelin crossclimate 2 one of the best all weather tires on the market and good enough for my 75hp corsa but the eco contact 6 suck ass because they are made to have a low rolling resistance
Have experience with Kumho vs Michelin pilots 4s.
Similar price (ish). Kumho are rubbish. Completely changed the handling of the car for the better when I went on the pilots.
You wont get mileage though.
I agree, i see more michelin tires with sidewalls cracking than other brands. Most of these tires have 50% tread left too and are usually pretty old 5+ years
