Tires MICHELIN or Nexen
Michelin pilot sport SUV — changed the driving experience, really like em
Cross Climate 2 are amazing tires especially switching from the Toyo ones. So much quieter and the tires just seem to hug the curves even better.
I just got the Michelin CC2s installed two days ago replacing worn down Nokian WRG2s on my 2011 Toyota Sienna and so far the ride quality is significantly better compared to the Nokians. Heck the road noise that people were mentioning doesn't seem to be a thing on my vehicle. Road noise on the old Nokians was far far more noticeable.
Michelin Pilot Alpin 5
Dealt with the same dilemma, went with the Michelin’s in the same size. Only about 500 miles in with them so I can’t vouch for snow, but they have been phenomenal on-road, in wet weather, and on the light trails/dirt roads I frequent for larping. Definitely a world of difference compared to the stock Dunlops and the KO2s I had on my Jeep, which I hated because they were so heavy and notorious for sliding in anything but dry conditions.
Spent a month driving all over the mountains in Colorado winter with Pilot Alpin PA4s on Enkei Raijin 18”s, multiple snowy passes, zero drama. Excellent grip and stopping power, but also good on dry pavement and firm handling when you need it. 13/10
I run 225/40/18 Michelin XIce3 in my 2018R. I bought OEM 18inch Audi BBS CH wheels from a B7 S4 which fit perfectly.
IMO Michelin LTX M/S Have been the gold standard for SUV/LT highway tires for a long time now. Recently they've been discontinued in favor of the second iteration that just came out.
I also have a set (of the V1 tires) on my 2018 GX460 and they have been flawless.
Just got the CC2s for my RAV4 Hybrid and I’m down about 8-10% in MPG. Of course, that is from just over 40-43 MPG to around 37-39 MPG.
My 70K Michelins were rocks at 47000
Still had some tread left all evenly worn but they sucked
No traction,no ride quality and i junked them.
