Anyways I'm picking up a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2s tomorrow...I am very impressed how these tires preform on our Atlas.
Michelin - I've had the Pilot Super Sport and Pilot AS4+. They're definitely not cheap, but hands down superior to the Continental equivalent. The AS4+ is almost grippy enough to compete with the Conti summer tire, while also being quieter and producing slightly higher gas mileage.
I've rocked Michelin AS4 (and their predecessor) for years in my cars...Zero issues and only switched to the Continental just to try something different...the performance they can now get out of all season tires is pretty impressive.
As much as I love the Continental DWS 06+, I needed to purchase a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires. The Continental DWS 06+ were fine. I got by the Winter without problems. There were only 3 times that I felt that I could use a more Winter like tire.
Michelin pilot sport as are the best all season tire out there, hence why you see them on supercars and hypercars.
But the best set I have ever owned was a set of Michelin Defenders. Smooth and you always felt glued to the road.
Michelin defender 2s here's awesome tire performs well in heavy ass rain
I have Michelin Defenders on my ‘17 Jetta and they’re great.
I am considering two options with one of them being a T rated tire. However, it has deeper treads and it is actually a known brand. I know that a T rated tire will decrease performance and safety but is it worth it over an unknown brand?
I'm agnostic about Pirelli. Never owned a set of Michelin that I liked. Over priced, over hyped, and did not come close to mileage expectations. Yes, they were regularly maintained and rotated.
