This and the Cup 2R are just one lap wonders. They're great if you want to set the best time in a time attack/qualifying event but once they overheat, you lose a lot of grip.
My Legacy is a bit heavier and automatic, for that I went with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires for snow capable year rounders. They're absolutely amazing, not too loud in summer, very capable as a snow tire.
I have an AWD SUV and I'm getting my four Michelin X-Ice's put on Friday. They have saved my butt numerous times out in rural parts of Bucks county and in Philly too.
I live in Brooklyn and purchased the IS350 AWD last year and use the Michelin pilot sport all seasons and I've had no issues.
Im running Michelin MXV3-A 195/60/14 on Bottlecaps and I’m more than happy. As someone said it’s reproduction of an old tire from 80s and 90s so it’s a nice touch as well.
Michelin cross climate 2 if you want long lasting AND to keep the same tires on all year long
Switching from Michelin Primacies (road tires) I really expected some compromises in terms of on road performance, noise, comfort, and MPG, but so far, these are actually as good if not better all around so I’ll be keeping them.
This isn’t true and I’ve had much better experiences with non Tesla Michelin pilot sport 4 all seasons with longevity increasing to twice as long as the hankook ions Tesla gives you and range being the same.
I now drive on x-ice snow, and I don’t have a comparison (I buy new winter tires every 6 years or so on different vehicles) but I do find the x-ice snow to lose grip somewhat rapidly at the limit, and prefer a more gradual slip at limit.
Those are def 2015-16. Dry rot between the tread. I wouldn\u2019t run these.. I just replaced these exact same tires for this reason.
