I love them. They were amazing on my RAV4 Prime, and on this RDX. They are excellent in all ways.

I guess I’m lucky that my OEM tires are working out fine and dandy. I guess I’m a little old school and subscribe to the adage that it’s best to “use it up, wear it out, make do or do without.” $1200 can buy a lot of cleaning and maintenance supplies

Or - $1,200 will buy you about 261 gallons (14.5 full tanks of gas) of premium gas at $4.59/gal - at least today.

Or- $1,200 will buy you 344 gallons of regular gas (the RDX doesn't need or require premium gas) at $3.49/gal at my local Kroger after purchasing $400 in groceries. $400 is about a weeks worth of food at todays prices.

I agree. I have no issues with the OEM tires on my 2021 Advance. Perhaps we aren't picky enough.

I would agree with you if I did not live where it snows, rains a lot, etc. The added traction can save a lot of money, and if it only does it once...once was a big save.

I believe the Advance had Continentals and not Goodyear RSAs.

Got a set of the Michelin CrossClimate 2's for one of our other vehicles, what a grippy, quiet and confidence inspiring tire. The unique tire tread pattern is not traditional - however work extremely well. Costco beat even Discount tire price for the entire set by a couple hundred buck. Some noted it affects MPG, on our Hybrid it actually bumped the MPG up by 2 mpg on a 800 mile road trip.
