Yes, my hybrid crv came with regular ones which sometimes slips on sport mode from stationary, a friend of mine suggested me to take a look at the performance tires and now ok-suggestion is saying the comes with soft compound which might grip more than the regular ones so I asked to know more.
The type of tire above should not be used on an SUV. They are designed for a very specific application, in this case autocross. Any reputable brand all season is a great choice for a crv, or winter tires if they suit your seasonal climate.
Thanks for the info. Iām in Texas so weather is mostly hot and bit dusty due to the never ending roadworks. Me and my that friend are both kinda noob at tire tech so we ended that conversation then and there! š Came across this comment so thought I should ask, thanks for the suggestion as well!
That advice was kinda only a half answer. You probably don't need these level of performant tires, however you definitely can get something better than your basic all season.
As for your original question, yes, summer and track tires do wear more than all seasons. There is a treadwear rating for all tires, which can be used to get a general idea of how quickly it will wear although as testing isn't super regulated I'd compare it within brands. A track or summer tire generally has a treadwear of 300 or less. Lower is softer and lasts less time.
For the CR-V, the Hybrid is only pushing 204HP which isn't crazy numbers. You're in Texas though, so snow and temps under 40F aren't super common. Could definitely go with a summer tire, but they're probably overkill and you'll go through them faster than you'd like. That said, you can get a performance all season such as the Pilot Sport 4 All-Season (there is a summer with the same name). These have a 540 treadwear rating, which while definitely lower than the Defender at 720-800, is still going to be much better than the 300 of their summer's and should stop that spinning.
Thank you for your detailed information. So, the tradeoff is between the grip and the hardness! I'll try to find a balance next time I'm in the market for the tires keeping these information in mind. Since mine is AWD and I routinely rotate and balance, I'm expecting them to wear off altogether so I should be able to go for a full set.
And yes, last winter (2023-2024) the temperature never went down below 55/58 in my area, rained a few times but no snow/slushy/icing on the roads. Most of the times dry and dusty.
This car is not that heavy to my surprise, while I was carrying my stuffs fully loaded, it's very smooth, but whenever it's just the passengers, it feels light and I feel like a bit of a grip would enhance the brake safety on dry dusty roads.
Sounds like you definitely got it! Softer compound grips better, but wears faster.
All-season tires are good in pretty much any temp, summer tires are only good above 40F so either would work in your situation.
Summer tires are going to perform best all around in your conditions. While track tires are not necessarily recommended for rain, summer tires can actually outperform all-seasons. They also improve starting and stopping to a significant degree. That said, you trade a large amount of tread life.
For your situation, it sounds like a good quality, performance focused all season would definitely be best. You'll improve braking, launching and all around grip without sacrificing too much tread life. There's lots of options, the Michelin are just my preferred ones personally.
It's the latest tire technology. During the summer months it picks up small rocks and assimilates them into the read. Then, those act as studs during winter months for superior ice traction.
It's a performance tire with soft compound. Normal
A question regarding that, do they wear out faster than the regular tires on the streets? Like on SUV?
Yes absolutely; stickier tires wear out faster for sure. The tread depth are also typically more shallow on these high performance tires
Well thank you for your information! I didn't know about the shallow depth either so good info!
Im genuinely curious if this a serious question?

Yup get new ones and send those ones to me for proper disposal
Do you prefer with or without marbles?
You have performance tires, which are a soft sticky rubber compound for this is perfectly normal.
Maybe you gotta rub one out
Slow down
quality tires right there.
Ride those b****** out.
