I had a set on a 2006 Mini Cooper sjcw 215 40 17s now the ride was harsh and stiff but let me tell you you hit a turn you'll come out of it with the biggest shit eating grin on your face you ever could think of. For the price I'd call it a best bang for your buck tire so since you got them drive them you'll see they're pretty good.
Michelin never lets me down. I have had several sets of Conti DWS's on various cars and they always wear out way earlier than they should (treadwear gone in 15K miles on a 30K mile tire). I have had a few sets of Nokians too. Good tires until they aren't. Two sets had sidewall bubbles early. Others developed vibration issues before tread was gone. No real recent experience w/ Bridgestone except one set on a 911 years ago. Get the Michelins.
I use 18” Michelin x-ices in the winter.
I highly recommend Michelin AS4. Excellent all-around tire.
Last set of tires I bought were by Nexen.... pretty good tire, wore well.... got about 36k on them, will be due for new in the fall.
I became a Michelin guy when I had a VW and swapped from Goodyear Eagles and suddenly the car was plush on rough pavement.
Here are the maintenance items (other than routine oil changes) I've encountered over that time: horn contact plate back up light switch cabin filter coolant hose O2 sensors engine oil filler neck high pressure power steering hose alternator and drive belt wiper blades wiring harness battery
i have em on my 05 crv here in bozeman montana. we get crazy weather yearround and these things are stallions
The crossclimates excel in dry and snow, NOT rain. That is where vredestein shines.
If you are going for less than 40 thickness, dont buy cheap. For example, 235/20/35 nexen is bad, very bad. I had it and went for a check up and found out a bulge growing like a tumor on the inner side of the tire.
