I have been driving for about a month on Michelin Defenders (21"; purchased/installed at Costco) and will never go back to the Pirellis. Quieter for road travel, good handling, minimal difference in range
I ran the Michelins for 8 winters here in BC. They are an excellent tire. Good in rain, snow and ice (ice performance degraded after about the third season).
I moved from the continental EV tires to Michelin cross contact and had about a 10% increase in consumption… part due to tires part due to how much better they felt and I pushed more
The best of those is Michelin Cross climate.
I have the cross Climates on my 19 Forester. I love them. I can’t wait for snow.
Joining the rest of folks here to say that it’s worth it to switch to the CC2s. They are superior in every way. Road noise is not an issue in my experience at all.
Not sure why he would suggest an inferior tire. The Cross Climate 2 are an excellent all weather tire
The GY were ok and did their job but were no where close to being as good as the Comfortread they replaced.
The CC2’s so far are amazing. Great wet and dry traction, smooth and quiet on the highway.
I switched from Road 4 to Road 6. I used both tires for around 2 years and 25,000 km, and went back to Road 4 (I wasn’t looking for Road 4, it was in stock and around %30 cheaper). In my experience, the cold grip on Road 4 is much better, and even after they heat up, Road 4 still feels like it has better grip. Additionally, I noticed that the bike pulled slightly to the left with Road 6.
Just swapped out the 22” contisport 6s on my 2023 Model X Plaid for Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s and they ride noticeably harsher but most importantly they are damn noisy in comparison.
