Tires MICHELIN or Nokia
I had the Michelin's on my car as my last tire set and just thought I'd experiment with another tire brand for my current set so I picked up the Fallen FK510. I'd say for daily driving it's very compatible and less sketchy in rainy conditions
We have them on our 19 Pilot for about 25k miles. Very good wet traction. Note that they are directional so you can only rotate them front to back without using a tire machine to demount from the rim. Usually not an issue if you have good/even alignment and get even tire wear. So, moral of the story is get an alignment done after installling them.
I think they are a little bit noisier than than the original Continentals but they wore too fast.
I have them on my Civic '16, and they are amazing for NYC. They handle hydroplaning really well too. They have a slightly higher hum compared to the Civic stock but it's really hard to notice especially in a loud city like NYC.
MPG did go down a bit but well worth the trade off for safety. They grip really well in wet conditions and shorten braking distance.
I recently purchased Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires for my wife’s 2018 CRV EX-L FWD and I have to say they are pretty stellar. Thus far we have put at least 2000 miles on them to include a 14 hour road trip. Excellent traction on wet roads and far superior to the Goodyear Assurance we had before. We have driven through a couple significant downpours and these tires have confidence on wet roads. As for the alleged noise complaints, I think they’re very quiet compared to the old tires. Rolling resistance/ MPG; no changes and I would have happily sacrificed a couple MPG for good traction in FWD vehicle.
I would go with Michelin Pilot A/S 4 if money isn’t a factor. They’re more expensive, but *excellent* all around tires.
I had to replace at 10k lol I ended up with Michelin CrossClimate2 CUV
Michelin. Pirelli too soft. Not durable prone to temp issues.
Michelin are a great choice, I would choose the CrossClimate2. I understand tires are expensive, but Michelin tires maintain their performance when they get worn, whereas other brands drop off significantly.
I've just worn down a set of hakka blue 2. They are a nice driving tyre, but didnt last as long as i'd hoped.
The problem I’m trying to solve is that after about 1500 miles they’ve become very noisy. I mounted them in November last year and they were quiet at first. A while ago they began to get noisy at 35 mph but now they’re "singing" at all speeds. They’re directional tires and are mounted correctly. There’s only very slight scalloping on the right rear tire. One theory is that the rubber is wearing faster than the studs and as they project further they make noise. A Nokian dealer suggested the warming of the roads as spring approaches is somehow to blame. My wife’s Audi B5S4 has Hakka 8s and they’re older and quieter. The Hakka 9s are supposed to have an "improved " stud.
