Tires MICHELIN or PHANTOM
I like the Michelin defenders, pretty good in all elements and lasts about 70k.
Folks liked those Michelins very much, generally.
My pilot all season 4 tires have a 540 treadwear and I got about 20k on the rears.
I just swapped my original Conti's out for Michelin Pilot Sport AS4's (225/45ZR18). Ride is quieter than the Conti's, and grip seems better, too...but that may be due to new tires vs mileage on the old ones.
The CC2s are fantastic, I don’t think I actually lost much range with them more than I fitted them when it was colder. Snow, ice, rain they are amazing. Never had an issue with grip. Only reason I’ll go back to the sports is longevity at higher temps and deluging rain grip.
I have them and so far very happy with the purchase. I use them for every day driving there’s been no big impact on range or road noise.
Yes to range drop, also yes to great performance in the snow, ice, and rain. My typical drive takes 15% to get home now, where it used to take 12%. They are relatively new (2 months), so break in may alleviate some of that.
I've been over the pass in the Sierra Nevada twice with them on (both i-80 and hwy 50), plus routine winter driving with snow and ice pretty much daily. Only time I've felt any wiggle is goosing it through a corner when nobody is around, just to get a feel for the handling. It recovers very gracefully.
I have some on mine and they’ve handled great on the rain, haven’t really done any snow driving. Only thing I’ve noticed is there’s a bit of a feint droning noise at high speeds. Haven’t really noticed any significant range impacts, although I’ve only used them for daily driving and don’t ever drop below 50% charge.
My OEM Michelin PS4’s were gone after about 14k miles of abuse (new car excitement).
I had a set of Michelin hydroedge on my Mustang, they were awful. No traction in any condition, and dry-rotted similar to shown above, but not quite as bad. And only about 4 years old.
