Time for new summer tires for the Matrix. The previous tires I had were General Exclaim UHP, a summer performance tire. They were a great grippy tire, and oddly enough rated as a LRR, but they only lasted one summer. So, I picked up a different set of LRRs, Michelin HX MXM4's. I got them mounted on my summer wheels and put them on the car last night. I'll get to test out their usefulness this weekend as I travel out to LaCrosse area. Its about 200 miles one way, so we'll go through a tank of gas.
The MXM4s on air blender wheels!
Nice tread pattern. I can see why its LRR, those grooves are HUGE, I'd say almost 1/4".
Also, again (I do it yearly), these are my winter tires that say 35 psi max sidewall. I use them all winter at 50 psi. After two years and probably ~15k miles they still look like this.
