Tires MICHELIN or Maxxis
Never, ever try to save money on tyres!! They're what connects your car to the road, literally the most important part for safety and handling. One of the few parts where I personally go for one of the more expensive models. NO exceptions.
We just put Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all-seasons on our 2022 SEL. Range loss is about 10-15%, highway is worse than around town. Huge improvement in handling and especially wet traction makes it worth it with the winter rains (hopefully) coming.
I got x-ice 4 couple years ago and have been really happy
I ran a maxxcross on both front and rear - rear first, before I upgraded to a 16" + shinko 525. Its not a bad tire at all, and if you're looking to keep the weight down on the stock rim then I say its a good choice.
I'm approaching 38K miles on my stock tires (2019) and looking at either Wildpeaks or Michelin Defenders. I'm leaning more towards the defenders because most of my miles will be highway, near max load. The wild peaks sure look great but I've run Michelin Defenders on other vehicles, including in snow, and have no complaints.
I like the X-Ice snow more than Blizzaks because they drive more confidently on pavement and they're much quieter.
I got the Michelin X-ice Snow here in the Colorado Rockies. They work great.
I run the X-Ice on my Allroad. Nice tire, but I don’t drive them hard on dry pavement for obvious reasons.
They run a bit narrow but I haven’t measured
I just replaced a set of dry-rotted, cracked Michelin's with tread that seemed nearly brand new. It really sucked to fail an inspection because of tires with so much tread left.
