Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA
CrossClimate2 are great on our 19 Pilot, we have about 25k miles on them. Rain only, no snow experience with them.
Michelin never lets me down. I have had several sets of Conti DWS's on various cars and they always wear out way earlier than they should (treadwear gone in 15K miles on a 30K mile tire). I have had a few sets of Nokians too. Good tires until they aren't. Two sets had sidewall bubbles early. Others developed vibration issues before tread was gone. No real recent experience w/ Bridgestone except one set on a 911 years ago. Get the Michelins.
My buddy has P Zero Winter on his S4
and he likes them. I have Yokohama BluEarth Winter V905 and they are nice but the sidewall is not as stiff as the Pirellis. Still happy with them though.
I use 18” Michelin x-ices in the winter.
I highly recommend Michelin AS4. Excellent all-around tire.
I became a Michelin guy when I had a VW and swapped from Goodyear Eagles and suddenly the car was plush on rough pavement.
I always used Yokohama, but that was on a dodge Dakota. I love Yokohama tires personally
Here are the maintenance items (other than routine oil changes) I've encountered over that time: horn contact plate back up light switch cabin filter coolant hose O2 sensors engine oil filler neck high pressure power steering hose alternator and drive belt wiper blades wiring harness battery
My OEM Michelin PS4’s were gone after about 14k miles of abuse (new car excitement).
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.
