I wanted the Michelin CrossClimate2s but ended up getting the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s.

Obviously they are goflat tires so I have a spare and jack now.

Are you wanting to stay with RFs?

Do you need all seasons or are you looking to go with summer rubber?

Non run flat ideally, and all season are the better bet for our use. This is for my mothers car and she value comfort and quite about performance

Continental DWS06 Plus are awesome. I've had them on 4 different cars now, including the wife's X1.

The problem I've had here in the desert climate I live in with a lot of sets of Contis is dry rot (Cracking) in fairly short amt of time vs remaining tread. Had good luck here in desert with Nittos & with Cooper Zeon RS3's.

I like sticky or stickier rubber that may wear down tread faster but will be quiet & stick like glue until it's time to replace them. Having 30k mi left of tread doesn't do me any good if the tire is cracked to shit & has to be replaced for that. Climate has a lot to do with the equation!

Wore out the Continental RF's after 24K, just installed some Michelin Pilot All Seasons. They're nice. More suitable for the power of the car. Much stickier than the Conti's.
