Which one of the two in the title would you choose for the following driving conditions:
2002-2003 Honda Pilot, mostly easy city streets rarely go to highway(90%/10% city/hwy), never tow anything and never go off road, once or twice a year may carrying 200-300 lbs in the trunk. Weather in So Cal near the beach so no snow nor ice. Once every 3-4 years may go to mountain in winter to touch/see snows.
According to Tirerack, Michelin LTX M/S2 costs less with longer tread life and better at every category in customer survey, the only negative is weight, it is 5 lbs heavier.
Personally, I would choose LTX M/S2 over Cross Terrain SUV. But my neighbor went to Honda dealer and they paid $1200 OTD for 4 Cross Terrain SUV replacing the lousy Goodyear Integrity they bought from the same dealer 3 years ago. I told them a while ago that when they need tires I will recommend a good set of tires at reasonable price for their driving condition, but they think Honda dealer knows better. Too bad, they have money but not much gray matters in their head.
