What a good less aggressive tire to purchase after the stock tires finally wear out?

Love the Crossmax CHTS1 Tires. Very inexpensive, great quality, and good in the rain and snow.

I LOVE my Michelin Defender 2 tires. OEM Continentals tread was at the wear bar at only 28,000 miles of normal driving. The Michelins don't squeal going around the cloverleaf at 35 mph like the OEM tires did. They stick. They're quiet. And they're known for long tread life. A bit over $750 installed at my dealer's companion tire shop - after a $100 veteran discount. Worth every penny.

It will be a cold day in Miami before I put $80 tires from Scamazon on any vehicle that I plan on driving and keeping more than long enough to sell it .

$80 tires on my $36,000 Mav.
I don’t think so.

Yokohama Geolandar GO15 I went to a 235 wide from a 225.
Quiet,
Smooth,
Better in snow and rain,
Climbs really well on my steep incline loose gravel roads.

You get what you pay for in this world.
$166 each last time I checked.

Funny. They are manufactured by Michelin, and I've owned 3 sets with zero issues. The reviews are real.

They are better than the $200 Goodyear assurance tires that came on my Flex. Higher price doesn't mean quality. I go case by case basis on tires. My Mustang tires are $500 each, as they are the only ones that grip for my power level.

Same tires I'm running, plenty happy with them. For a quality tire, they're a good deal!

Intriguing. I can't find any pic of the tire with M+S or single snowflake to confirm they're really all seasons though.

I like the look of the tread, I've got this "model tire" in my head based on "shit which makes the tire look fancy and doesn't seem to work, and boring shit that does work" and they fall on the latter side.

ETA: Found the M+S marking, it's before the small font tire size between "crossmax" and "all season".... helpfully it says "outdoor" over all season, so you don't buy them by mistake for use indoors :LOL:

They are not manufactured by Michelin and have nothing to do with the Michelin brand. Crossmax brand is distributed by Horizon Tire which is the US marketing and distribution arm of Shandong Linglong Tyre Co. I buy and use many things made in China. Tires are not one of them.

I just put a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires on mine. The original tires lasted 45,000 miles and still had tread left.

The CC2's are not a cheap date, but they look cool and are highly rated. First set of Michelins I have ever bought myself. Henry Ford bought the last set of Michelins for me when I had my Explorer and they recalled the OEM (Blowout Firestones) tires.

These are NOT made in China. They are made in Thailand. The CHTS1 is made in a Michelin plant, for Horizon tire. Some other models may be made in China. These are not.

Shandong Linglong?
That sounds like an actor's name in a very naughty movie that no one should ever watch.
I feel dirty just reading that.
I will Not be shopping for those tyres (tires).
