Bay Area Michelin Guide 2026: Californios and Enclos Crown Three Stars

At Michelin Guide California’s 2026 ceremony in San Diego, two Bay Area restaurants earned three stars for the first time: Californios in San Francisco and Enclos in Sonoma. Californios becomes the first Mexican restaurant in the U.S. to attain three stars, after rising from one to three since 2015; Enclos had jumped from two to three just six months after opening. Nine Bay Area venues joined the one-star club (including Troubadour in Healdsburg and Naides and Wolfsbane in San Francisco), while several others earned two stars (such as Acquerello, Birdsong, and Saison). The Bay Area also snagged special honors—Exceptional Cocktail Award to Evan Williams and Maria Isabel’s bar team, and the Michelin Service Award to Frida Blomdahl Hay of Sons & Daughters—though a few local spots lost stars (Kenzo Napa; Le Comptoir at Bar Crenn; O’ by Claude Le Tohic; The Shota). The ceremony briefly revived Green Stars for Monte’s (Santa Barbara) and Six Test Kitchen (Paso Robles). The piece provides the full Bay Area Michelin roster for 2026 across three-, two-, and one-star designations.

Michelin CrossClimate3 Debuts in Europe as US Sticks with CrossClimate2

Michelin’s CrossClimate3 is already on sale in Europe since mid-2025 but won’t hit North America yet, with CrossClimate2 serving US drivers for several more years. Tyre Reviews finds the CrossClimate3 offers better wet braking, stronger snow performance, lower rolling resistance, less road noise, and a comfier ride than the CrossClimate2, which remains a strong, high-mileage all-weather option. Europe also offers a CrossClimate3 Sport for performance cars, though the US market isn’t prioritizing winter-friendly performance tires.

Bridgestone Slips to Bottom in 2026 JD Power Performance Tire Ratings

JD Power's 2026 tire survey places Bridgestone at the bottom of the performance-tire segment with 768 points (below the 796 segment average), while Michelin leads with 818, followed by Goodyear at 805 and Pirelli at 801. Dunlop is the weakest in passenger tires at 723. Tire Rack data shows Bridgestone model-level variations—Potenza S005 is weak in ultra-high-performance summer, RE980AS+ and Potenza Sport AS perform well in all-season categories, but RE92 underperforms in wet/snow—suggesting inconsistent Bridgestone performance across models that may drag down the overall brand score.

However, owner satisfaction with Hankook tires tends to be middling or low, highlighting a gap between expert testing and consumer sentiment.

The Space Shuttle's tires, designed by Michelin, were built to withstand extreme conditions and were only used once due to the immense forces during landing, with the main tires being 34-ply rated and filled with nitrogen to handle the harsh environment.
