I got around 23k miles from my continentals. I switched to the Michelin defender AT tire and I'm going on 60k miles with tread left. Insignificant impact on range.
That's my recommendation having just swapped my 18" Michelins for winter prep with 4/32, 49,000 miles on them, balanced/aligned 2x in their lifespan (1 when I got it, they came with the car, 2 at 7,000 miles)
I run 27-29 cold on my 305 and 325 Michelins.
I bought Vredestein Wintrac Pro and have really liked them. I live in western Massachusetts and have a very long gravel driveway up a steep hill. The tires are great and get very good ratings.
I have to recommend Michelin County Rocks. 26x1.75, smooth enough for paved roads just enough tread for some gravel. Cheap and durable.
Had the Wintrac Pro on my Type R for the past 5 winters and drove them for about 50000km all through central Europe and southern Scandinavia. Never had issues with them, both in the wet and in the snow.
I have the wintrac pro on our GLE, think they’re a really good tire and will probably buy them again. They are also really good in the wet, didn’t have any surprising moments this winter, both in snowy/slushy and wet conditions.
Always go for Michelin if road noise is an important point for you.
They’re meh, I went from having Michelin crossclimates on my 2010 to the OEM tires on my new OB. They do OK in snow, good in rain.
Stay away from American made tires, it might sound crazy to hear but it's true. Michelin, Goodyear, MasterCraft, Cooper, they aren't worth the hassle the compound is much too soft.
