Tires MICHELIN or Maxxis
I got the Cross Climate 2's, love them.
I've ran Michelin Pilot Sport 4ASs the entire time I've owned mine. They handle brilliantly and deal with rain exceptionally well.
As for the tires, the OEM tires are Michelin EnergySaver AS w/SelfSeal. If something else is in place, it can reduce the range by 5 to 10%.
I tried Michelin 3PMSF All-Weather (AW) CrossClimate2 (CC2) H-Speed rated tires and was amazed by the quietness, performance in deep snow, slush, wet & dry conditions. The CC2 provides better performance than both OEM and winter sets combined, returning the same summer/winter mileage on my Niro and 2004 Toyota Sienna. After 56,000 miles (90,000 km), I replaced them with a new V-Speed rated set. This second set is even grippier and more stable, now at 49,000 miles (79,000 km) with 7mm tread depth.
I have the cross climates on my wife’s Acura RDX. I’m very impressed with them in the snow and equally impressed this past summer on dry pavement.
Ja danas stavio CrossClimate 3 i odmah sam primetio veliku razliku u preciznosti upravljanja i komforu.\n\nDo sad su bile letnje Hankook Kinergy Eco2 i suvi\u0161e su mekane za moj ukus. CC3 \u010dini mi se ima lep balans svega, na suhom mi se pona\u0161aju bolje od letnje, dodu\u0161e na 8-11\u00b0C a i bilo je par km mokre ceste i lepp se pona\u0161ala.
I can validate the Michelin cross climate twos on my Audi Q5 are phenomenal in the snow and very good and not loud on pavement.
i'm getting slightly better at ~10000 miles with 2.3mi/kWh. i have the 116/119 version installed and they are essentially still new at 14/32 last i checked but i'm at 62psi cold. these tires have a max inflation of 50psi if you're also on the 116/119 version, so 50psi is too low FYI
Truly a shame that Michelins dry rot so quick because they ride great and are pretty good mileage wise. The general rule is replace tires every 5 years, but I see Michelins start dry rotting just 3 years after production. Really sucks for older people who don’t drive as much.
Recently purchased Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires 285/45R22 for my ford expedition. Extremely disappointed in the loud road noise from the aggressive tread pattern. Which is a common complaint of michelin deep tread patterns and wide tires, even though it's reported elsewhere as a quite tire, (no way). When looking for a quite tire ask or google the "noise rating" of a specific tire before you buy them. My old straight tread pattern tires were quiet on the road.
