Tires MICHELIN or Toyo
Got them on my model 3 (2020) and changed my Michelin pilot sport 4. Great grip but ooh wow what an extra road ( humming) sound. That\u2019s the only con I experience.
When it's time to replace the tires on my Mazda CX-5 I will put 3 Peak tires on it, but I intend to drive on the factory Toyo A36 tires until they are worn down and need replacing.
I have Michelin cross climate on plaid and I drive like a lunatic currently at 38k miles and i think I have 10kish more miles left i think.
But in your size the Michelin CrossClimate2 would be my pick.
I have a Chrysler Pacifica and the factory tires on that were pretty awful in the snow and ice. When it was time to replace them I went with the Michelin Crossclimate 2. It was done in early January so could easily compare to the old tires and there was a significant improvement.
Been driving in Canadian winters with X-Ice\u2019s for the past 3 winters and have never had any issues. Always feel safe on the road with them, and I\u2019ve had to drive through blizzards several times.
On a separate note I don't notice much difference between Michelin and Pirelli in the dry, but in the wet gimme' my Michelin's any day.
I have a 2014 with 19” rims but I love the AT3s (255/60/19). They look great. They fill out the wheel arches just right and look like the right tire for the kind of vehicle it is. I’ve got 16k miles on them and they have a lot of thread left, still look practically new. I don’t notice any freeway or road noise.
I have Michelin CrossClimates2 on **awd**. If we get a surprise early storm they are.....fine. On true ice they can't get up/down a steep driveway. So I'd rather not test them braking on ice either (luckily never had this situation come up).
The OEM tires - Michelin EnergySaver AS - are great for efficiency and pretty bad for everything else. Went through two sets, and both were consistently bad in rain and snow. One of the tires on the second set got ripped on the *sidewall* as it hit a pothole, and I found out later that the sidewalls were indeed a bit of weakness for them.
