Tires MICHELIN or Toyo
I didn't replace my factory Yokohama tires on my 2022 Limited until around 38k miles, and I still had around 1/4" tread left. I wanted better winter tires and replaced them with Michelin Cross-Climate 2 tires with a 60k tread wear warranty. There is a bit more ride noise than with my Yokohama tires, but nothing a few more decibels on the radio doesn't fix
If you're not regularly trekking into the mountains, all-weather tires like the Michelin CrossClimate are great. They perform really well in snow and you don't have to worry about swapping them out annually.
I picked up a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2 and they are great tires. Can keep them on year round but much better in the snow than typical all seasons. They are pricey but well worth it IMO.
I have driven 5,000 miles on these tires with no loss in gas milage. I have 2023 Toyota Hybrid Highlander... I drive at 80 MPH on average and still get 28 to 30 mpg. Great tires.
Unless something new dropped recently the Michelin IceX still dominates when it comes to rolling resistance for a snow tire. Comparing them to the stock energy savers in the same weather conditions, I could perceive no decrease in efficiency.
I sized down to 275/50 Toyo. No issues. I believe my speed is a bit off because it's a smaller tire. But not my speeding isn't speeding as much. I'm happy not spending $1500+. Its just a commuter.
You'll never find a better all around tire. Sure some tires will corner better or handle puddling better but for every condition (which most of us see) they're the best. I've owned them all and for towing 12,000 lbs on and slightly off road I trust Michelins.
For tires, just buy brands that don't spend over 50% of their budget on sponsorship and advertising like Michelin, Pirelli etc...
At Walmart, was $900 for all 4 tires (22 inch rims) balanced and mounted.
I have the Pilot Sports now and the most annoying thing is they get small flat spots in just 8hrs of being parked overnight or at work. They work themselves back out after a few minutes of driving but it’s something I’ve never felt with any other tire.
My TOYO proxxes dry rotted in one year
