this spring i bought michelin cross climate 2’s for a 3rd gen CRV and am very happy. i looked at the defender 2 but since i do some gravel/dirt roads in the summer the cross climate has a much better tread design
Honestly they have 90% of the grip of an average summer tire with twice the tread life.
Michelin: dura muito, gruda muito no piso molhado, macio, vale MUITO a pena. Já nos salvou de batida.
Agora falando de performance, eu iria de Michelin.
Michelins with the laser burned sidewall details that are dark black and slightly fuzzy.
Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 are the best tires I've ever had, and the only ones that have truly balanced on my Tesla.
I put Michelins on my Honda civic. I floor it and omg it's been years and the tread hasnt gone down.
The dealer put a new set of Michelins on for me. They're still the low rolling resistance tires, but they were free, so I can't bitch too much!
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.
I’ve had these for about 18 months / 15K miles on my 18’ AWD LX and I can’t say I’m a fan. Although they are amazing in the rain. I ironically wish for rain sometimes for longer trips because they drive SO much better on wet pavement compared to dry.
- The road noise is ridiculous on an AWD model.
- They’re wearing very fast for tires with only 15K.
- Drop in fuel efficiency once installed (~2MPG drop).
- Rocks, twigs, and everything else you can imagine get stuck in the grooves and can lead to a rough ride.
