Tires MICHELIN or Tesla
Cross climates all the way. They’re also excellent in rain.
Vote for Cross Climate (2). I switched to them from Michelin Pilot Sports and they have served us much better. They've aged well and we've gotten nearly 60k miles on them. They are far more confident in the snow than any other all season tire we've had.
I don't think savings should be the main driver to get a Tesla. A lot of things can influence if you save money or not compared to an ICE car. In my case...yes. Insurance costs vary by a ton of factors. Where I live insurance is paid annually and mine is $1500 for a full cover, which is like $125 a month. More than your average ICE car, that pays about $800 yearly. However I've saved money in every other aspect. I have solar so I charge for free. And the only maintenance I've paid were $15 to a local tire shop to rotate my tires and 2 gallons of wiper fluid.
Michelin Road 6 have been so awesome I got them again recently. Very confidence inspiring, more capable than I. By that I mean I can't take a corner fast enough to feel unsafe. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
The tire and wheel protection already paid for itself. I got a bolt in my tire and they placed a loaner on my vehicle within the hour I call them. Set up a service appointment and had to pay a $25 deductible. Worth it for me.
Just put on the alpin 5s for winter. Car is pretty good in 6” of snow or less and the alpin 5s are actually fun to drive in cold dry.
So I have run the cc2 on my 2010 legacy for about 30k, I'm pretty familiar with their good and bad points. They wear very well so long as you rotate every 5k or less and keep your alignment to spec. After 30k I'm still at 8/32. They have phenomenal snow traction and outstanding rain performance. Summer performance is fine, not dedicated summer sport tire level but fine for me. They can be a little bit louder but nothing that bothers. They do pick up gravel, so you do hear that as it gets ejected and they will cut your mileage by about 2-3 mpg, also no big deal. All in all I find them to be the best tires I've ever run on an all wheel drive car and I will always run them on my subie unless something is proven better.
I have PS4S on my 992.2 C2S and these are fine in very rainy weather l use the WET mode when it's pouring down. The weather around here 5c 41f.
I plan on getting the Michelin cross climates for the all rounder and reduce the lug whine on the highway. Still have the factory Goodyear Duratecs on and while it looks good, it\u2019s too loud on the road.
Wait until you go through a summer and the rubber heat-cycles, after that (even with 7~8mm tread left) the tire is absolute dog-shit in the snow. Worst $1,200 I’ve spent…
