Tires MICHELIN or Toyo
I have a mich cruiser 3 up front and cruiser 2 in the rear. I will never run another brand. Great in the wet.
Yes I just switched this weekend from the Pzero runflats to Michelin PS4S. So much better, way more comfortable over bumpy roads and better around corners too.
Went with Toyo Proxes R888Rs, 205/45/16s in the front and 225/45/16s in the rear. Quick run around the block and they felt great. They also look pretty good
i love my Michelin Defender 2, they aren't the sportiest of tires, but darn are they great GT tires (decent economy) and have decent tread for dirt roads. Only down side is that tread does have the tendency to grab on to the smaller rocks that jettison off later down the road once you hit black top.
Michelin pilot road 6; you won't regret it.
I have the factory Michellin E. Primacy on my highland RWD and quite impressed. A good all round balance of wet and dry grip and efficiency. Not too far off the PS5 I had on my old car but I wouldn't track with them. Good enough to have confidence on the road though.
I have them on my model 3. I think they are a tad quieter but small efficiency loss noticed. I mean minuscule. Have about 1200mi on them but enjoy it so far.
I recently put them on my model 3 and I am happy so far. Seems comparable to michelin mxm4 oems on noise. There is more tread so they should last longer and my calibrated butt dyno suggests a bit more grip.
Small penalty on range, but it’s close enough where i’m not totally sure yet.
Previously I had Michelin Defender xlt. While I would prefer a more pavement oriented tire the Coopers where the only load range E tires I could get on a 3 day turnaround when I needed them.
I liked the Michelins but the xl load rating was just too squirmy while towing a 7000lb trailer.
It was a terrible experience on stock suspension: extremely stiff, sluggish from standstill, and my mpg took a drastic hit. On one tank I went from averaging about 16.8 mpg to 13.5.
I ended up getting them switched out for the C load tires (255/75r17) and had a MUCH better experience. They drive nearly identical to the stock tires , mpg is back to low 16, and the ride has softened up.
