Tires MICHELIN or OEM FORD
I have done 5 seasons on Michelin X-Ice on GD STi and cannot recommend highly enough.
The Michelin Defender tires have settled in well. As you can see, I’m getting significantly better efficiency now that the tires have a few thousand miles on them. 6000 miles in and they are down to 10 mm on tread. Factory tread is 11 mm so I’m very happy with the wear so far. Especially considering the Pirellis only lasted 23k miles. Picture 3, with 12,000 miles is the last 12,000 mile efficiency rating on the Pirelli’s. Picture 2 is the first 3000 miles on the Michelins. I am shocked to see the difference, as I was expecting a loss of efficiency with the Defenders. The data is trending and showing they are in fact a better efficiency tire vs the factory Pirellis. 50 cold psi is a must IMO.
The Michelin LTX aren’t much to look at, but they have tons of those little sipes in there and make for a low-key snow tire in my experience. Also sound good on the highway
Eu cu michelin alpin 5, tractiune spate nu am avut nici cea mai mica problema iarna la munte. Mi se par niste cauciucuri senzationale pe zapada.
These tires have pretty low rolling resistance. I've had them for a while now on my m3 and notice no impact on efficiency over around 20k km.
I have used Michelin and their winter tyres. Works magic and haven’t spun the pony during winter mix. Summer rain is another matter…
I ran the OEM 20 inch Michelin Pilot Sport EV. Surprisingly little noticeable tire wear. I was expecting about 50% of the tread to be gone after the day, but in reality, not much seems to have worn off at all. Traction felt good for the first 6-7 laps but started feeling greasy towards the end of sessions with the rear end of the car getting more and more playful with every lap- clearly the tires are working overtime dealing with the weight and power. Turn in and breakaway characteristics also felt good, nothing really to complain about here.
Reingesteckt Bilstein Fahrwerk, Alus, Michelin Sommer und Conti Winter. 9 Jahre gefahren, ca. 60tkm. Defekte/erneuert: 2x Fensterheber, 1x L\u00fcftermotor, 1x Wischergest\u00e4nge, 1x Motorlager, 1x alle Softlackteile after market. Ansonsten nur Inspektionen.
CC2’s are excellent. Just don’t drive too fast during rain. They tend to oversteer.
Recently purchased Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires 285/45R22 for my ford expedition. Extremely disappointed in the loud road noise from the aggressive tread pattern. Which is a common complaint of michelin deep tread patterns and wide tires, even though it's reported elsewhere as a quite tire, (no way). When looking for a quite tire ask or google the "noise rating" of a specific tire before you buy them. My old straight tread pattern tires were quiet on the road.
