This is my second season rocking the pilot alpin 5’s with no issues. Only issue I have is with the design of the induction wheels: they trap snow inside the wheel and if it sinks to the bottom surface when you’re parked, it can freeze and cause a bad vibration because it puts the wheels off balance.
I eventually got a set of Pirelli tires and upsized to 205-50/16s. Earlier this year I ran over a nail but the tire couldn't be patched because the puncture was too close to the tire edge. When I went to get another I was told that Pirelli tires were backordered because of the pandemic. So I opted for two new Falken tires at the same size because I want the tread to match on the rear axle.
Went for CC2's - and I cannot complain so far. Haven't had the first real strong snow day, but they have been good in wet conditions so far.
Just had the Cross Climate 2s installed and I am loving them. Smoother, quieter ride. Everything I've watched and read about them having great wet/dry, and amazing snow traction is totally accurate.
I have the CC2’s on my Polestar 2 DM on Vancouver Island. They have been great this past week in the snow and ice and were fine earlier in the year.
Best tire I've ran so far is pirelli night dragons super sticky tire in wet and dry. About same as stockers for lifespan have 15k on my night dragons installed on a road glide and almost due. Actually getting more mileage than the factory Dunlop's they got replaced at 3/32" at 14k
That why i changed my tires from eco contact 6 to the Michelin crossclimate 2 one of the best all weather tires on the market and good enough for my 75hp corsa but the eco contact 6 suck ass because they are made to have a low rolling resistance
I made the same mistake with an NB I put midrange all weather tires on and I aqua planed as soon as I hit a puddle the cheapest tyre I put on my MX-5S now is Michelin pilot sport I have pilot sport 4s on my NB and pilot sport 5 on my ND well worth the extra money and even in wet weather the cars grip like a beast only down side with my ND on pilot sport 5s is it's really hard to even wheel spin let alone get a nice slide going dam things grip so much.
- Pirelli P7: Currently at 6/32" (~50%) after 10k miles
Michelin is trash. Last tires rated 90000 miles last only 32000 on my car. NEVER EVER more Michelin.
I switched to Continental. Much better, quieter and long lasting.
