I do delivery and my biggest complaint is about the Cross Climate 2 is they are horrible at collecting nails, screws and other objects into the tires. I have never had so many flats in my life like I have in the past 3 years owning different Cross Climate 2's. They do down tread pretty quickly. I struggle to make them last 9 to 10 months. I don't race track drive, but they really lose the tread in the hot summer days.

79yrs young and bought at least 15 sets of various kinds. Nothing but Michelin or Goodyear ever satisfied me.

[@toriless]

I usually end up with a Michelin High Performance tire. Since it of for a Camry they are still pretty cheap through Costco. Free rotations for life and a free replacement of they fail early, installation free too. I really do not understand why people would use anyone else for tires.

[@ELXABER]

I never paid too much attention to tires till I got a V8 Audi. The AWD eats them quick on corners, they always have to have matching tread or you ruin the transmission on a Quattro, and I only sipe them in areas that don't have great road drainage like TX, but not in CA. The all-weathers tend to last a little longer in colder rainier climates, and the summer tires tend to ride better in warmer dryer climates but burn up quicker on twisty roads like the mountains of CA. Also, if you have a high-performance car and don't drive it often, make sure they aren't old with flat resting spots, which is what caused the Paul Walker crash.

[@Shalmaneser1]

My problem with 'high milage' tires is that the rubber hardens over time. Eventually you had to replace them because of traction issues. There was a period where MFG'rs tried bi-hardness tires, with the inner layer being softer. Not so much anymore.

[@iceee420]

Supposedly, they work a soybean oil into the newer "all weather" tires. The chemical compound softens at cold temperatures and hardens at high temperatures. That's what I'm told anyway /shrug

[@Shalmaneser1]

@@aussie2uGA "Honey, who ate the tires?"

[@usa91787]

I used to run a tire shop. This was really informative and what people need to know. Regarding sipes - along with better traction in slippery conditions they also cool the tires in hot weather. When you look at a tire's sipes look how deep they go. The more siles there are and the deeper the better. Most manufacturers will not cut them evenly across the tire face. (Goodyear is notorious for this.) Most will be deeper on the outside of the tread and shallower as that sipe goes toward the center. Michelins, in my experience last longer and give you better traction longer. Probably because their sipes are deeper all the way across. Also, when you look at tires the more solid sections or lightly siped dections in a tire the noisier they are. Look at a BFG Radial AT / TA truck tire or Goodyear Wranglers. BFGs look really aggressive without any sipes. Very noisy. Wranglers have sipes but they aren't very deep so the sipes are worn out when the tire is about 50% worn. And then they get noisy and less traction on slippery roads. Michelin used to make an LTX M/S which became the Defender. Great tire but now they've moved on to the Agilis line. I have no experience with them but have long thought Michelin made the best tires. Yokohama was also a really good tire. H

[@putheflamesoutyahoo1503]

Bridgestone all the way, winter or summer tires and I believe in installing winter tires whether I drive an all wheel drive or 2 wheel drive...besides, looks good when your tires match

[@NA-pb4pi]

Agreed. Winter tires provide much better lateral grip on a front wheel drive car than all season tires do on an all-wheel drive car.

[@scotttan6377]

Got a set of "Goodyear Assurance Weather Ready" tires so far so good for the Pacific Northwest . Being only a FWD , I'm now looking for studded tires .

[@toriless]

Check into the law, studded tires are illegal in WA except from Nov. 1 to March 31. From WSDOT "Studded tires must be removed by the end of the day Sunday, March 31, to avoid a potential fine of $137. The removal date falls on a holiday this year which could mean some shops are closed, so the Washington State Department of Transportation urges travelers to plan ahead now."

[@toriless]

WSDOT "Studded tires do not satisfy state chain requirements. If chains are required on your vehicle, you'll have to install them even on studded tires."

[@toriless]

WSDOT "Approved traction tires - including an eighth of an inch tread and a M&S or All Season label with a Mountain/Snowflake symbol." Nothing about winter tires or studded tires. My Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires have such an indication. Mine are rated to 149 MPH since they have such good grip. They do not require chains like a studded tire in WA. Still, I would use chains up a windy snow covered mountain like the one to Crystal Mountain but I mostly do not need any but have a pair and a towel if it is snowing. I have a friend with a Porsche and his tires are so highly rated he can plow through snow. Expensive ones!

[@chipsawdust5816]

Tire stores will only install four studded tires nowadays. They don't think we can handle a mix of studded and non-studded tires on our cars. Which I did ... forever ... on FWD cars back in the day.

[@chipsawdust5816]

@@toriless And yet you hear studded tires well into sunny weather while driving on the freeway or in town - they're easy to hear and people drive them way longer than they should. Which also wears out the studs...

[@drwhoeric]

I may have missed it, but I did not see you mention the Treadwear Traction Temperature numbers (Uniform Tire Quality Grading system or UTQG) on the tire. The Treadwear is a three digit number where the largest number being 800 is the best and the lowest number being 300 being the worst. The Traction can be AA, A, B, C where AA is the best. The Temperature is for speed handling with A being over 115mph, B being 110mph to 115mph, and C being 85mph to 110mph.

[@markshanafelt4027]

I love Sumitomo Ice Edge tires for my cars. They last a long time for a rough tread, and they have excellent grip in ice and snow.

Geez Louise! I'm so overwhelmed now. Thanks Scotty

[@thedieiscast9729]

Had Bridgestone tyres on my company car. Best ever. Driving home on the motorway on dark wet nights they gave reassuring road grip in all conditions. They also have superior last ability.

[@TheKingsapostle]

I do roadside assistance. DO NOT USE FIXAFLAT! It will seal your valve stem and then you cant inflate your tire. You're supposed to put you air pressure 3 to 5 PSI below the maximum on the sidewall. If you do that, you'll rarely, if ever, get a puncture, and your tires will last 3 times longer. The sticker on the door is the minimum for the sensor, not the tire. They dont change that sticker if you get different tires. "35 psi" is a standardized minimum across the industry. It makes your tires soft so they wear out three times faster and cause you to get punctured more often. Also, the only thing that causes a blowout is low air pressure. Don't listen to the people that make money off you. Do it right, instead.

[@ap0lmc]

Just bought Nokian all terrain tires best tires I i ever bought. Best traction for a sedan and I have owned Michelins and Continentals. Haven't tried them on snow yet but will be doing it soon.

[@JustSayN2O]

When I was a little kid in the 1960s living in Pennsylvania, my parents' cars had studded tires put on for just winter use, and they had to pay to have the tires changed at the beginning and again at the end of every winter. One day they were suddenly outlawed. The goobermint's excuse was that they were causing premature road surface damage or something. Probably it was actually the combination of road salt during the winter (to melt the ice), super-heavy trucks, and seasonal freeze/thaw cycles, all combining to crack up the asphalt. I don't think those passenger cars tires' tiny dots of metal (tire studs) had any effect.

[@kevinmonasmith274]

Studded tires are ABSOLUTLEY bad for roads!

[@M.K.-CamCam]

The studs wore down real quick because they stayed on the vehicles for several months, even when it wasn't snowing. I loved them when the studs were new and it really snowed a lot back then. I don't believe that they were bad for the roads. Buses, sanitation trucks, plows, etc. used chains on their tires. Salt was thrown down in insane amounts. Don't blame the studs.

Now here is a REAL FUN FACT: The Orbiter "SST" is the only craft that has rubber tires filled with nitrogen that go from 0 mph to 215 mph in approximately 1.5 seconds.

Scotty, radial tires offer a less "cushy" ride over rough surfaces because they have less cushion to sacrifice. They transmit road noise and shock much more directly to the vehicle. Radial's are also structurally weaker than bias ply tires. I also wouldn't drive anything else.

17:05 I have a Tesla Model 3, at 65,000 miles. The acoustic foam filled Michelin tires that came on the car had amazing performance but only lasted 27k miles. Tesla doesn’t have a spare tire, so when I got a flat and had to wait 3 hours for a tow truck in a bad part of town, I switched to Bridgestone Driveguard (Run Flat) tires. Those tires are stiffer and don’t handle as nice. They also like to follow cracks in the pavement at high speeds. Unfortunately I only got 20k miles out of my first set of Bridgestone RF tires because of a rotation error. I take my car back to Discount Tire Co where I bought the tires for rotations. They apparently didn’t rotate one of the rear tires and it ended up wearing too soon. I replaced those tires with Bridgestone Driveguard Plus tires that are supposed to be an upgraded model of my prior RF tires that are designed with EVs in mind. Those tires do ride better than the prior version but still like to follow the cracks in the pavement at highway speeds. Regarding cost of the tire. A set of the Michelin Tires that came on the Tesla are ~ $1800. A temp set of Road Hugger tires I used while waiting for the Bridgestone Tires to be ordered were $800 and actually provided an even better ride than the Michelins. The Bridgestone Driveguard were $1350. The Bridgestone Driveguard Plus $1500.

Hi, Guys, I do for the most part absolutely love the Cross Climate 2. My only real complaint with them is as over owning them in the 3 years time I have had to deal with over a dozen nails or screws getting stuck in them. I do deliveries around the area and I never had a tire where my biggest fear is getting nails in them. I have had plenty of tires in my past and in this one spot the Cross Climate 2 really seems to fail for the most part. That being said, these tires are absolute amazing in the winter. Never had tires that do such an amazing job in the snow. I purchased a set of Falcon all weather tires and the tread went down from 11/32 down to 7/32 at the 1st rotation. I bought them at the end of Summer and I can see that I am going to have to toss these things in the garbage by the next rotation. They complete suck in the snow. I got stuck and couldn't believe how bad these were. Should I buy a set for the winter being the Cross Climate 2 and a good set of Summer tires to reduce getting a lot of flat tires or just get a couple new spares so when I lose a tire I keep a couple back ups till Costco gets a replacement after a couple weeks? Thank you guys so much and have a great Christmas!

I always use all season radials all year and am from upstate NY.

[@TheBestAroundd]

What part?

[@cavanon]

Goodyear's Assurance WeatherReady 2 are the best all-season tires with industry-leading test results

Hurricanes are horrible either way but fla is much flatter and has porous ground here in N GA NC TN area is mountainous and he's granite underground not allowing water to seep through as the limestone in fla does. If u live on the Gulf coast if you dont leave or can't leave you can only pray cuz theres a high chance of not surviving it

I prefer the pireili scorpion weather active, it has an amazing contact patch.

[@robertberry3394]

You forgot good old mud and snow tires. Ran them every winter in Ohio, never got stuck.

[@Itsme-vo4fx]

I would have like to have you mention the benefits of an all weather tire vs an all season tire.

[@mcso-dep138]

only Scotty can explain this to where it makes sense... thanx

[@windmolenfarm8030]

Great video Scotty. Very informative, full of tips and knowledge based information. I know it is difficult to make any kind of recommendations due to the complexity of the topic, and of course the litigious society we live in, but I think you covered the options well enough for people to at least ask the right questions. Thanks a bunch.

My only issue with cross climate is the tire noise.

F1 tires don’t last multiple races, they last anywhere from 12 - 30 laps, depending on the tire compound and track. Rules state each car must use two different compounds per race.

[@Mr.Smith101]

I keep driving on the roads until I encounter a pit crew with a sign that directs me to pit. I haven't seen one yet though. 😳

[@Chris-1974]

Great vid. Only your info on F1 tires was wrong. You stated F1 tires only last a few races. In reality F1 tires only last for a few laps. The drivers race so hard that tires start to lose grip after about 1/3rd of the race distance. This means drivers need to come in to the pist to get new tires during the race. During race qualifying the good grip of a new tire only lasts for 1 lap! After that they can't set quick times on that tire anymore.

The oem bridgestone dueler AT 18" tires that came on z71 suburbans/tahoes 07-14 went 90k miles+ on every set and i went through 4 sets on my 2010 burb in central Texas! They discontinued them and i drove from Lubbock to abilene to Boerne to buy the last 4 at Discount Tire before sadly totally the truck w over 400k miles.....😢 i doubt ill ever have a better truck and havent had another tire last over 50k miles since.

Air less tires have be available for bicycles for a long time it's an tube but looks like some one got the idea to make it all in one. The company that sold a tire tube called "NomorFlats" It's now put out by Bell kind of pricy for inter tubes up to $60.

[@Shalmaneser1]

Airless tires have one major issue: heat. Once they solve that, yippee!

[@rkapomares]

Thanks, Scotty. So much info packed in this one

[@user-Dr.]

Good Year triple tread is the best passenger car tire money can buy, better traction on everything and last forever.

[@foxtrotalphahotel]

For me, LT tires are the way to go. More layers, more rubber, more bang for your buck. Had Hankook Dynapro tyres that lasted 10 years on my 2006 H3.

[@Mrbobinge]

Cruise-control not working after tire change? Check that all tires are same outside diameter. Car computer checks for 4-wheels rpm's difference on the straight.
