Mixing 20" All Weather Tires

[Pavlova]

I'm moving to Michigan and I need to change my 20" Summer Tires to All-Weather Tires for upcoming winter.

Trying to get it swapped at Costco however, they have CrossClimate2 / Primacy Tour A/S / Pilot Sport A/S 3+ available for the front and only Pilot Sport A/S 4 for the rear at the moment.

Should I just change all of them to Pilot Sport A/S or have CC2 on front because front wheels do tend to wear out faster than the rear? (CC2 has thicker Thread)

I recently switched to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 a/s in a staggered set up and have no regrets. Even though I live in Phoenix and don't really need all seasons, I wanted the longer tread life. The Michelin summer tires the car came with only lasted about 15K miles, while the rears were totally fine.

The Pilot Sport 4 a/s have a 45K mileage warranty, which I believe Michelin cuts in half for the rears on a staggered set up.

regardless of mileage warranties if you get close to 25k miles on those tires you'd be doing very well. the weight of these cars and how hard some folks drive them always chews tires up.

I loke the Pirellis more

Thank you for sharing! I agree in your answers

Great

Like @lsbuffs I also went with the staggered Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S for the winters and they have been great here in the Northeast for the past two winters. Together with the Air Touring's two motors and traction control, the car has had absolutely no problems whatsoever handling snow-covered roads. And the handling is very close to the summer tires in the dry and wet.

Welcome to Michigan! It is a beautiful state - but I hope you like winter sports!

I have had two sets of tires on all my cars for years - ICE as well as electric. I go with true winter tires during the winter and whatever you want for summer. Belle Tire and Discount Tire will store your off-season tires for around $125. That way, you get the best of both worlds and put less wear and tear on both sets. Highly recommended!

Could not find the proper thread to ask this question. Can anybody verify if Chrisotpher's response is correct. Thanks in advance.

Most car manufactorers have their speeds underrated on their speedometer. If your speedometer says you're going 52 you most likely probably going only 50. if it reads 42 you are actually going around 40. The car manufacturers do this because they don't want to be liable if there's a calibration error on their cars. So whatever your speedometer says you're likely going about 2 miles less than what is indicated.

that would make the odometer over report mileage thus depreciating the vehicle at a faster rate. If that were the case there'd be a dozen class action lawsuits filed. They probably calibrate based on brand new tires. As your tire wears the diameter decreases which increases the tire RPMs to go the same distance which would over report your speed. It's not some liability game they're playing. It's just physics

I can't read your formatting, but the person who said they underrate their speedometers is correct. It does not affect the odometer at all as that is based on an entirely different system. There are multiple threads about this. Please search 'speedometer'
