So I had Michelin Xclimates front and rear. After 31,000 miles, I unfortunately got a puncture in my front right after hitting a ratchet strap :(
At the time (5 years ago) £125 a tyre was definitely worth it for ~31,000 miles.
I changed the fronts with a set of Xclimate 2s. They’re expensive yeah… but they work.
Absolutely worth it. Mine feels so much better in wet weather, and it barely affected the fuel economy over the eco-tyres I had before.
Yes, good tyres are absolutely worth the money when you need them.
Try Maxxis AP3's, they're dirt cheap and nearly as good as the Michelin Cross climates. I've genuinely been impressed by that specific Maxxis tyre, on my 3rds set now.
Decent brand all-season tyres will last well and be safe and capable all year round (come snowy season you might get roped into giving lifts lol), and you’ll have peace of mind; and those to me are certainly valuable enough to spend £350 on.
I replaced all my mismatched tyres when I bought my 2012 Yaris three years ago, with a set of Michelin CrossClimate+. Worth the piece of mind.
Try some Michelin Pilot Sport tires
I have Defenders on my Highlander, Corolla and Rav. They are the only tire I will ever buy.
I have Michelins, but I don’t know. 45psi seems a little high. I keep mine around 35-40psi.
Well, the A/S-3 blows in the snow so definitely dont get that as your all season.
