Pros Cons Tires are classified into many different categories, depending on the performance/comfort you want, but also the surface. However, we reviewers also like to categorize tires by price and usually sort them by premium, budget, or cheap tires. Of course, several manufacturers come to mind when we think of the premium category, like Michelin, … Read more
Don’t buy new tires before reading this Dick Cepek Trail Country EXP review! Check out this versatile on and off-road hybrid tire!
In this review, I have covered everything you should know about the Yokohama AVID Ascend LX, one of the best standard touring all-season tires.
The demand for all-terrain tires has risen dramatically in recent years. And why not? These tires provide a flexible driving experience both on and off-road. It would be correct to say that these tires combine the tread design of off-road tires with the easy handling of on-road tires.
With the rise of adventure-seeking and overlanding, SUVs and trucks have started gaining traction again. Moreover, people are increasingly searching for tires capable of some off-roading, but ones that still work well on the road. These products are named all-terrain tires, and they claim to be the only solution you need for your next adventure.
One such tire is the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT. Designed to provide excellent traction over slippery terrains but also to be stable on paved roads, Cooper’s all-terrain tire looks very promising. Moreover, the American brand designed it to be very tough and durable, which is always a big plus.
But how does that transfer in the real-world? You’ve arrived just at the right place to learn everything there is to know about the Discoverer AT3 XLT.
Grand-touring all-season tires are by far the most popular on the market today. They offer an unmatched blend of durability, comfort, performance, and cost. One such tire is the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus, which is already very popular among drivers.
While passenger-car drivers have many tire options, both in terms of weather and performance, commercial-van drivers, not so much. Even worse, there is not much development in the design of these tires – it seems like the tread patterns have been stuck in time. However, there was a recent development that could change things in the commercial-van tire sector, and it comes from Michelin.
The French brand is known for pushing the envelope in the tire industry for over a century now. It not only brought the pneumatic tire to the world, but it also brought us radial tires and run-flat tires. Now, Michelin wants to reinvent the commercial-van tire with the Agilis CrossClimate. Michelin’s latest van tire is similar to all-weather tires for passenger cars, meaning it aims to provide excellent traction throughout the year.
Michelin CrossClimate 2 drives like a premium all-season grand-touring tire on dry and wet roads but also works much better over snowy and icy roads. On the whole, I’d say that the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the first tire that manages to blend summer and winter traction in one tire. Hence, if you don’t mind the slightly lower treadwear warranty, you should definitely buy the CrossClimate 2.
If your daily drive consists of mainly warmer weather and some light snow here and there, a set of high-quality all-season tires will do the job just fine.
However, if you encounter more snow in the winter but still want a dependable tire for the warmer months, go for a set of high-quality all-weather tires.
Let’s say you start a completely new tire brand, and you need to choose a name for it. Would you go with some random name that signifies the history of the brand, like Michelin, or a catchy name? Well, Kumho and Discount Tire went with the latter when establishing the Road Hugger brand. It’s quite …
