Tires MICHELIN or PHANTOM
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 put on a set of CrossClimate2's and have been very very happy.
IIRC, my Dad's 2011 v6 Mustang, came from Ford with Michelin Energy Savers.
I have GMC 3500HD SRW with almost 50k on OEM Michelin tires. There's still pretty good tread on them.
Try the Michelin route, maybe they'll cover it.
I just bought these for my GTI... I am a Michelin fanboy but not impressed with these tires. My MPSS are buttery smooth and quiet. These tires are very noisy, and ride a bit rougher. I've got them 225/40/r18 mounted on stock Austins (so its not the wheels) and i've had them rebalanced twice so its not a balancing issue.
