Tires MICHELIN or OEM BMW
Spent just over $1200 for Crossclimate 2 at Americas tire.
Got set of brand new 18" Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires with Road Force balancing and extended warranty for equivalent of 760$ (tax incl).
Michelin tires provide a great ride and excellent mileage *but you can never run one low on air, it will destroy the tire*.
I have a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2on my SUV and I really like them.
I get the Michelins simply because I know my Sienna’s are gonna last.
I had nothing but great experience with Michelin tires both on cars and motorcycles.
They are good. They lasted 12k kms on my Hayabusa. It is a heavy and powerful bike that eats tires for breakfast, so that mileage is impressive.
What I also like in the Road 6 is how quickly it gets warm in cold/wet weather.
If you were curious about the longevity of these tires, I'd say they are well worth your money. I ride a 2019 Kawasaki Versys 650. It is not a particularly heavy bike so I'm sure that helps a bit with the wear. I also check my tires pressure regularly
I currently have 16,000 miles or 25,000ish km on these Michelin Road 6 tires.
I recently switched to Michelin Defender 2 tires. Every month I record a monthly average efficiency. Compared to last year I have lost about 10% efficiency.
These tires are a death trap in snow. In a heavy wet snow the snow collects in the treads to create a flat, slick surface allowing the tire to slide before stopping. On a hill it's even worse. They work ok on wet surfaces.
