Tires MICHELIN or Nexen
The tire shop let me switch to 17" Michelin CrossClimate 2s. They make a soft noise, almost like the sound of a wave going out on a pebble beach, but it's not annoying - they're just not as quiet as the Pirellis, which where literally astonishing. Best of all the Michelins are firm but comfortable around town, and completely smooth at highway speeds; it's like they're rolling on glass bearings.
Nexen like all brands make different levels of tires. If you decide to buy the cheap ones your results will be indeed be bad. I bought a nicer tire that they make and have had no issues with them. It's actually the best ride quality I've had in my car. They drive better than Dunlop and Pirrelli P-Zero I had in the past.
I’ve been happy with the Michelin Cross Climate 2s.
These are exactly what I'm running on my Polestar. They're a bit louder than the stock Michelins and are a little less efficient but handle great and are outstanding in the snow.
However I replaced my S4 tires with PS4S.
I have those Michelins on my Miata and they’re great. For my size, they were the cheapest option I had at the time as well so it was a no-brainer.
Hands down the best tires I've always experienced in truck applications. The BFG TAs of course are very popular, but I find the Defenders give much better road comfort, and handling, and poor weather performance.
I do. I like them. Quiet, work fine in all weather conditions. Wear seems reasonable.
They were okay for me, definitely not great (Southwestern PA) but I upgraded to Michelin Cross Climate2’s and definitely recommend them.
I started sliding sideways when taking off from the lights in the rain. The very next opportunity I had Pilot Sport 4 on and never looked back.
