Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA
I currently run the Geolandar G015 on my MJ. Have also had them on previous vehicles as well. Work well, no issues.
This and the Cup 2R are just one lap wonders. They're great if you want to set the best time in a time attack/qualifying event but once they overheat, you lose a lot of grip.
My Legacy is a bit heavier and automatic, for that I went with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires for snow capable year rounders. They're absolutely amazing, not too loud in summer, very capable as a snow tire.
I have an AWD SUV and I'm getting my four Michelin X-Ice's put on Friday. They have saved my butt numerous times out in rural parts of Bucks county and in Philly too.
I live in Brooklyn and purchased the IS350 AWD last year and use the Michelin pilot sport all seasons and I've had no issues.
Im running Michelin MXV3-A 195/60/14 on Bottlecaps and I’m more than happy. As someone said it’s reproduction of an old tire from 80s and 90s so it’s a nice touch as well.
Michelin cross climate 2 if you want long lasting AND to keep the same tires on all year long
Switching from Michelin Primacies (road tires) I really expected some compromises in terms of on road performance, noise, comfort, and MPG, but so far, these are actually as good if not better all around so I’ll be keeping them.
Factory tires wore fast. The scorpions couldn't last more than 20k for me. Bought a few sets but ended up getting the ltx platinum tires, which are crap compared to the scorpions but they wear like rocks. Tread is still going strong after 40k.
This looks like to be a Michelin PS 3 or 4. If my guess is correct, these are sport tire which means soft rubber compound, and because of that they degrade (harden) fast. From experience, with normal use, they are good for 2-3 years of driving, then they get horribly bad (hard). Above 4 years they become hard like hockey pucks - the rubber looks shiny with lots of micro cracking and they are (from experience) deadly in the rain. So, judging from the picture one (i see micro cracking) and the fact they are 5 years old: They are gone. Tread depth is irrelevant now. They are so hard that you cant wear them down not even in 100.000km. Btw. about 6-7mm is the tread depth when these (Michelin PS) tires are new.
