Tires MICHELIN or NANKANG
The Michelin Crossclimate 2's are about the best passenger tire available right now, it's what I have on our Odyssey.
In Florida, have had Michelin Defender 2 on last two Odysseys. They are rated to go 95,000 miles. So they may cost a little more up front, but a good value over time.
I've always used Michelin Defenders for heavier vehicles like vans. They may be slightly noisier, but they last *forever*.
really like the Michelin Crossclimate2. They look a bit funky. Excellent in wet weather. Far better than the factory tires.
I bought crossclimate 2 and received over 3 feet of snow a week later.
Literally no issues at all in the snow and ice. Fantastic tire.
We have michelin defenders and are happy. Live in southern california so not a lot of rain but they seem to perform fine when it does.
I've been able to survive these the last decade with a RWD car on Michelin X-Ice Snow tires, so I bought a set for the GRC also. And they don't completely suck when the ground isn't snowy or icy.
I now have the Michelin Energy xm2+ on a corolla. It's a good economy tyre, focusing on low rolling resistance and longevity. The Michelin is a bit quieter, but fuel consumption went up a little (0.2-0.3l/100km) on my Hybrid Corolla.
They make a Michelin defender that lasts a lot of miles but I didn’t dig the road noise
I had ps4s on my nd2 miata(molded aero, brakes, suspension, stock power)with a few track days and the last day they overheated on a 60f slight damp overcast track day after about 3 laps each session.
