Very, very much a happy camper. Ride is suprisingly supple, I went up in size from 215/65 R16 to 215/70 R16 which I knew would give it a bit of a cushier ride but I didn’t expect it to feel better than the All Seasons, which it does. A little added road noise, slight roar over the All-Seasons but not noticeable unless you look for it. Ride height went from the stock 8.2in to about 9.4in which easily cleared the wheel well with no rubbing.
Most surprisingly though, it feels like it handles better. Comparing it to the high-mile Continentals I had (90k warranty) they’re more confidence inspiring
in turns, not much added lean at all, might be due to other mods on the wagon but
it definitely didn’t make it worse. Tested today at 90F from a winter-rated “AT-lite” tire, I was caught off guard how well it takes the turns. It’s no Michelin Pilot Sport, but it’s better than I thought it’d be. It also took a gravel road I threw at it like nobody’s business. I drove it pretty aggressively through some twisty, dusty gravel and it was planted pretty much the whole time.
Pros: supple ride, better handling
Cons: slower acceleration, MPG hit
Vehicle:
Volvo XC70
I just bought a set of Michelin Cross climate 2s for my Subaru Crosstrek. A specific winter-only set would be best, but a good all-season works too.
Pros: good all-season
Cons: bit pricey
Vehicle:
Subaru
The compound in a decent snow tire like a Nokian, Michelin, Blizzak, etc… stays less form in cold weather and will stop better in the winter.
Pros: better stopping power
I run General Altimax arctics which are kind of budget but I have never gotten stuck.
Pros: never gotten stuck
Cons: kind of budget
I use Bridgestone RE71Rs for both track/street and they are great!
Pros: immense grip
Cons: not too treacherous in wet
you can look into Bridgestone RE-71R(S) for good grip with better longevity than a052
Pros: good grip, better longevity
PS4s are incredible. They make any car they are on feel 800lbs lighter and handling nimbleness seems to come with.
Pros: incredible, handling nimbleness
I think they’re a little quieter than Pirellis, as my dad has the Pirellis on his and I think his has more road noise.
Pros: more road noise
Cons: null
Not really the best tires around they don’t last long
Cons: don't last long
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
