Tires wear out faster… I squeezed 43000 mi out of Michelin Primacy tires which isn’t bad.
I ordered new Michelins almost immediately and the ride difference to me is amazing , but the biggest factor was the reduced stopping distance. The Turanza seems to have no stopping performance at all.
I have good all seasons tyres ( Michelin CrossClimate 2), i have yet to notice any unexpected loss of traction.
Just had 4 Michelin defender2 tires installed. A little over $600 out the door. Free rotations and fixes. 80k warranty. Can’t go wrong.
I have CC2s on my Volvo XC90. So far I've put 45k miles and anticipate replacing them after another 10k or so. The thing I really like about Michelin tires is that they are so consistent right to the end.
I’ve never regretted buying Michelin tires. Can’t say this about Yokohamas. I can’t say what feels better about Michelin tires, they just driving feel better.
My wife had Costco install the CC2 on our ‘20, which is her daily driver. They’ve been excellent in the Minnesota winter and quiet over their first 7500 miles. I was concerned about the traction before we got them, but they are good in the snow and ice.
I currently have Michelin Primacy 4 tires under my Mini Cooper 116hp, and they're very nice, although not that brilliant in wet weather.
The best middle ground would be your UHP All Seasons category. Not as performance oriented as summer. But also not as costly. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S, Conti DWS06+ for example.
but the Xi2s were amazing.... and then very quickly wore from being great, to being really really poor. Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde over the course of about 3500kms....... they should have had another 1-2 full seasons on them but IMO they did not wear well after 2 seasons.
