Tires MICHELIN or Nexen
Been on 32mm pro 5’s since August and I’ve been very impressed for using them for general riding. In terms of endurance tires they feel incredibly fast and grippy. No punctures even though they are on the lighter end of endurance tire offerings.
Mióta megvan az autó (3 éve) négyévszakos abroncsok vannak alatta. Először Hankook volt, tavaly kapott Michelin Crossclimate gumikat.
Mentem már vele tükörjégen, szakadó hóesésben, most a letakarítatlan 20 centis hóban is. Nem mondom, hogy itt-ott nem csusszant meg, de nem volt eddig semmi gond vele.
A few months ago I replaced an old set of [Panracer Gravel King Slick+] 35mm and butyl tubes with the [Michelin Pro5] 35mm with TPU tubes.
Very happy with the performance, they genuinely feel faster, which they are according to [bicyclerollingresistance] they are.
if you can, stick to the Nexens - best price to quality ratio I've used thus far. :) Great Korean company.
I’d go with the Michelin Defenders. I bought a set of Michelin X Tour A/S 2s (Costco version of Defender 2s) back in April 2023, and after almost 3 years and 70k miles, there’s still plenty of tread left on them. They’ve lasted twice as long as my previous tires now, even with regular rotations.
Michelin defender 2 easily out of those options. It has been a tire that has consistently lasted over 80k miles in 4 of my families vehicles, all with different drivers but regular rotations at Costco. Also has very low rolling resistance so youll save fuel.
For the Nexen, I had a set of Nexen Roadian AT tires and they worked well for me.
With the right tires your golden. Michelin Cross climate are top tier for light snow like this.
The tread pattern on the cross climate tires is noisy and you might notice a drop in mileage (-10mpg has been reported).
I’ve had both on my car here in Michigan, the CC2 was awful on packed snow and ice, especially the braking distance. I had them removed because both me and my wife hated them. Yes, they were noisy and very inefficient too.
