I just put Michelin Defenders on my car, replacing the original Bridgestone Alenza.
I guess they aren't considered EV tires but they are doing well as far as I can tell. My range hasn't taken a hit at all.
they are great for cheap yet surprisingly well performing tires, i personally run the quatrac pro on my 94 miata and it performed impressively well in both rain and snow.
There are a lot of anecdotes out there that the foam doesn't make a dimes difference in noise levels. I'll add to them that when I replaced mine with Michelins fro Costco the noise level actually went down.
Personally I'm a Michelin guy. Have used both on my cars and would only go Michelin from here on out
MYLR owner here. Replaced OEM continentals at 35k miles with Costco Michelin PS AS4. Much quieter and ride was more comfortable over potholes. Initial 2-3k miles I had a drop in efficiency but after that the efficiency has been the same or perhaps better than original continentals. It's also much better with handling in almost all conditions ie snow, rain and summer.
I recently replaced the original pilot sport 4 for a set of cross climate 2. Was a bit worried how much sound will be impacted since cc don't have the foam. It was a little bit of a different sound, not louder just a different tone. But stopped noticing anything the next day.
On my 2019 M3, I had Continental tires with foam as well. I replaced them with Michelin sport pilot 4 (no foam) and to be honest they were quieter than the factory tires.
I run the "Vredestein Wintrac Pro" on msw 18's on my mk8 golf r and they rip in all conditions, I ran them all last winter and showed little wear, although I did avoid hot days.
My OEM Michelin PS4’s were gone after about 14k miles of abuse (new car excitement).
Michelin just always crack.
