Tirerack has Michelin defender LTX M/S for $282. I have them on my overland and love them. Stock were Goodyears and they only lasted about 35k miles. Replaced those with Nittos and they were really loud and never really balanced well. I replaced the nittos at 80k miles with the defender LTX M/S and couldn’t be happier. They have 38k on them and they look new. Great all around tire that is great on the highway and can do mild off road conditions.
1,000 miles ago I replaced my worn Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (A/S 4) tires in stock 225/40-18 size with another set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires in a taller 225/45-18 size. One MAJOR surprise with the new taller tires is a DRAMATIC improvement in ride. The reduction in harshness with the taller tires is shocking to me. Yes, the car is still firm riding - but these taller tires do a fantastic job of taking the edge off all the road imperfections. Even my daugter can feel the difference.
I recently had CC2 tires on Audi Q5 2021. Its huge upgrade compared to OEM Kumho tires. But....I have lost 10% mileage :(( Just came here to tell considering this point whoever is on fence.
I'm a fan of the Uniroyal Laredo HT. Uniroyal is owned by Michelin but you'll save upwards of 75 bucks or more per tire.
Uniroyal has been a great tire for 130 years too
Anyways, blizzaks are Canada's most widely sold winter tires, I bought Michelin X-Ice, what you need to realize is that the cheapest winter tire is going to be better than the best summer tire under a certain temperature.
Temps below 40 will ruin your summers. The material they build summers with is different than winters. Below 40, it will crack and literally turn into plastic. I went with the Michelin CC2 because they last a lot longer than pure winter tires with only a tiny bit less traction on ice and snow.
Am Michelin CrossClimate.
Pe 4 mașini.
Cel mai mult am făcut 120.000 km cu ele.
Consider că țin cu buzunarul.
Michelin x-ice are for more roads and packed snow. I have a set of x ice 2 that are great, lots of grip in the winter. Much better stopping on plowed roads, and deeper snow they handle great
both my AS3+ and AS4’s did indeed make a distinct road noise. None with the Conti’s.
I put the CrossClimate2's on my 2015 Jetta TDI. 4% loss in fuel economy. Not only that but the car lost it's precise on center feel and required much more correction to keep in straight. Feels like driving on underinflated snow tires. I hate them and will replace them with the OEM Bridgestone Ecopias.
