Tires MICHELIN or Tesla
Michelin makes a good all-weather tire called the CrossClimate2. I have them on my Kia Niro and have been quite happy with them. Great dry and wet performance, and are fine in light snow.
The tire shop let me switch to 17" Michelin CrossClimate 2s. They make a soft noise, almost like the sound of a wave going out on a pebble beach, but it's not annoying - they're just not as quiet as the Pirellis, which where literally astonishing. Best of all the Michelins are firm but comfortable around town, and completely smooth at highway speeds; it's like they're rolling on glass bearings.
I’ve been happy with the Michelin Cross Climate 2s.
These are exactly what I'm running on my Polestar. They're a bit louder than the stock Michelins and are a little less efficient but handle great and are outstanding in the snow.
However I replaced my S4 tires with PS4S.
I have those Michelins on my Miata and they’re great. For my size, they were the cheapest option I had at the time as well so it was a no-brainer.
Hands down the best tires I've always experienced in truck applications. The BFG TAs of course are very popular, but I find the Defenders give much better road comfort, and handling, and poor weather performance.
I do. I like them. Quiet, work fine in all weather conditions. Wear seems reasonable.
Another vote for Michelin Pilot A/S 4. I had them on my 2016 Mazda6. They were quiet and decently grippy for a non-sport all season tire. I hate them. They’re not as noisy as the OE Dunlops on the 2016 but when cornering they’re like driving on mush.
Thoughts on CrossClimate2 for San Francisco/CA climate? Considering these for 2020 Kia Niro EV to replace current OEM Michelin Primacy MXV4, which we have found to be terribly un-grippy in rain.
