Tires MICHELIN or OEM BMW
My new 2024 Tiguan SEL had a vibration. The Pirelli tires on it would not come into spec on the road force balance machine. I put on Michelins and no more vibration.
I have cross climates 2 in Canada, driving a Murano AWD. Great tires in all conditions, dry, rain, snow, except ice.
Michelin CC2 is a great long lasting tire that is great in just about every condition except very deep snow. It was a big upgrade from the General RT43's we had previously had on our '13 OB. We have General 365AW on our '23 which are not quite as good in the rain, but are a lot cheaper.
This is a common question in the sub and you’ll generally hear a lot of recommendations for newer all weather tires such as Michelin CrossClimate 2 or Bridgestone Weatherpeak (installed on mine). These are premium all weather on road tires that’ll do pretty well in light/moderate snow and very good touring performance.
The E rated tire will ride ever so slightly harder, but the drastically increased life will make up for that.
Can't recommend Michelin CrossClimate 2's enough. Has been perfect in all weather for me including freezing cold, snow, wet, and summer temps. They are not noisy and wear well.
Michelin CrossClimate2 staggered 20” on my FE. Superb tires. Quiet, smooth, insane levels of grip wet or dry. No loss of range in the winter, haven’t seen warm weather yet to judge summer range. I’m fine with giving up range for performance.
Michelin is a great tire, higher price range but worth it if you got the dough.
My original tires were cracked from being in the sun and not moving for a year or two, so the dealer replaced them with exactly the same tire and it went under the 12/12 warranty, so I need to go through those tires before I buy my own. Man, are they greasy in the wet!
I’ve had these for about 18 months / 15K miles on my 18’ AWD LX and I can’t say I’m a fan. Although they are amazing in the rain. I ironically wish for rain sometimes for longer trips because they drive SO much better on wet pavement compared to dry.
- The road noise is ridiculous on an AWD model.
- They’re wearing very fast for tires with only 15K.
- Drop in fuel efficiency once installed (~2MPG drop).
- Rocks, twigs, and everything else you can imagine get stuck in the grooves and can lead to a rough ride.
