Tires MICHELIN or WEST LAKE
For a CB7 that you want to daily and take on touge-style runs, I\u00a0d honestly move away from the Kenda UHPs and into something that gives you real grip without the noise and cupping issues. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is still the benchmark in the ~300tw category way quieter, noticeably better mid-corner stability, and it doesn\u2019t get greasy after a few hard pulls the way cheaper 300tw tires do. You also get much better wet braking, which matters on an older chassis.
Was able to adjust just fine with careful driving and proper tires (you can even get the Michelin CC2s which are great up here in the snow and don\u2019t require swapping out each season).
I'd just get a good set of all-season tires if you need them (Michelin cross climate are the gold standard)
I just installed the Michelin cross climate 2, and it may be the best tire I’ve ever owned, for any car. Even my wife noticed a huge difference.
Had Michelin X-ice tires on my g8 GT when I had that. I could hardly tell it was a RWD muscle car.
I have cross climate 2s that are highly rated all weather tires for winter driving. They're phenomenal. My current FWD car drives about the same as my old AWD car did thanks to them.
I buy Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires because their performance means my safety. (Also because they handle well when I’m having fun)
For a second vehicle that still has to be solid in snow, I’d go Michelin X-Ice Snow and not even think twice. They bite way harder on packed snow than any A/T and make a heavy truck like a Silverado feel way more planted on cold mornings. I ran them on my old 1500 and the difference in braking/steering vs. all-terrains was huge.
my experience is that summer tyres provide _significantly_ more grip in the wet than CC2s. If you get ice and snow, CC2s are great, but they're not very good in the wet.
They're also not particularly quiet. I put them on my XC90 and found them to be very droney at anything over 50mph.
Hate those michelin x-ice tires. Just drive on your summer tires they will not be any different.
