Tires MICHELIN or Shinko
I have the cross climate and they are far better in snow than the stock primacy tires. Since switching it’s snowed a bunch more times and it’s been fine.
Even just driving 20 miles the OEM contis pctx and switching directly to the Michelins I can say they are definitely a more quality tire. For 1 the sidewalls on them dont create a worrying lip as if theyre stretched. The ride quality on them is absolutely amazing! Feel much more durable and going over normal bumps or the occasional pothole thats unavoidable gives me way more confidence. Also due to the stiffer sidewalls they feel way more responsive. Drove around 100 miles on them today and can say for certain that I will continue to be using these for however long I own this car!
I ran these on my Mustang when I couldn't get Pilot Sport 4S tires at the time. I liked them. They were grippy and comfortable but did have a softer sidewall than the Michellin.
Tire brand I have always been very satisfied with Michelin Tires for traction, ride and quite ride (little road noise).
Highly recommend Michelin. Ride well, quiet,with 80k warranty.
Pilot Sport All Season 4 is the natural progression of the tire you have toward a car that's more daily-able. They're great. Run them as my summers on my Fiat 124 Abarth. Not quite as grippy as a PS4/PS4S, but with the same good predictable feeling you'd want + less variable handling when cold vs. warm, better wear life, and better performance when temps get a little colder in the fall and winter. It's the same tire design philosophy but in a more practical package that's, imo, better for street use. Great choice if you want to get a bit slideways but also have a very predictable experience.
I switched to them from Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+, which were great tires.
I went up a sidewall size and got 255/45ZR20 (stock is 255/40) to replace my original set on my 2021 Y. I read people saying that they still fit and improved the ride a bit. I always thought ride with the 20” tires was a bit rough. They do fit and the ride did improve a bit.
Edit: forgot to mention I got Michelin Pilot Sport All Season. Only had them 5 months or so but they’ve been great so far. Foamless and a bit louder at first but not too bad and I got used to it quickly. Don’t notice anymore.
Had these same Michelins on a FWD car. If you never plan to drive on dirt or gravel roads, or in snow ice, they’re probably decent, but not awesome in heavy rain. Consider the mileage rating for Pilot vs other Michelin tires that cost slightly more because the Pilots didn’t last me long.
The sidewall split on one of the Michelin Primacy MXM4 on our 2021 Model 3 at about 12000km (only 7450 miles) so those Michelin Primacy MXM4s are not that great it seems.
