Tires MICHELIN or Kumho
I’ve had the same experiences with my pilot sport 4 AS. I’m at 41,000 miles and still going strong. I estimate I will get another 5 to 10,000 out of them. It’s really only the back tires that will need replacement. The front tires still appear to have most of their tread. The Michelin’s are incredible tires!
I have been running PS4S on my R32. These tires hold really well, even when it's wet.
The 18s have Michelin X-Ice Snow tires on them. So far so good.
Sounds like you need better snow tires. Or you need to learn to drive in the snow. I did just fine in Houghton with an NA Miata on Michelin X-Ices, and in a low slung FWD Volvo C30 on Vredestein Wintrac Pros.
Michelin cross climate 2. Just buy it. Your done. Best all around tire you can get.
CrossClimate2 is the golden standard of all-weather tires. You can't go wrong with this (other than the price).
Crossclimate 2 tires are still the best performing all weather/all season tires in the snow. I advised my dad to buy a pair and he is extremely happy with that decision. He is driving a 2017 mazda 3.
In my experience, good tires like Michelin retain their good qualities at the end of their life better. They stay quiet and don't lose traction until the very end.
both my AS3+ and AS4’s did indeed make a distinct road noise. None with the Conti’s.
Thoughts on CrossClimate2 for San Francisco/CA climate? Considering these for 2020 Kia Niro EV to replace current OEM Michelin Primacy MXV4, which we have found to be terribly un-grippy in rain.
