Update: Got the tires installed today. I noticed a major drop in road noise. I was using 9yr old Kumhos, that sat in the garage most of their life. Other than that, no noticeable difference going from 225/40 to 225/45.
Owner reviews for tires
Ran Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 on my Audi, amazing tire if you HAVE TO have 19s
Going from my pilot super sports to a set of alpine pa4 snow tires on my FoRS was a pretty noticable change... Turns out sticky summer tires don't really grip on any amount of snow or black ice, and proper winter tires really really grip on snow and ice.
Some shitty Achilles tires to Falken RT-615s.
Putting Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on the Mustang, costs an arm and leg for 19" wheels but I understand the hype now. The grip is phenomenal and the wet weather handling is so much more confidence inspiring vs the Indy 500 tires, which were good tires to begin with imo.
225/40/19 snows are what i run on the stock wheel, the Kumho Wintercraft WP72 is a killer tire for the money ($173 on simple tire)
185 wide Michelin Energy savers to 205 Continental premiumcontact 6.
Holy shit the grip is amazing. In all conditions. Rain, cold, whatever. 20mins of track time even goes well
235/35/19 Dunlop sp winter Max or whatever they are called. Absolutely love them.
Now have Uniroyal Tigerpaws. A bit of hum but nothing that was too dramtic.
As a competitive tire ? No. As a cheap learning/fun tire? yep. He complained about how soft the sidewalls where, even when over inflated at 45ish psi.
