Good Info Thanks for the info on this thread, I ordered 245/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires for my 2015 S3 with Magnetic Ride and ECS Tuning flush spacer kit. I'll post pictures of how they fit after they get installed tomorrow. Tires are the best mod, I can't wait to be off these Continentals :laugh:
Owner reviews for tires
For what it's worth, I used to run the cheapest 235/40ZR18 tires I could find on my Jetta(Sunny brand if I recall), after a few years, I never had any complaints. Paid about $105 each and they seemed worth the money to me and not much different than the name brands($200+ each), at least as far as durability/safety was concerned
Generally these purchases have been stuff that there was no way whatsoever to get locally: Yokohama AVS Intermediate in my 240SX's stock 15" size.
Love my BF-Goodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S.
GM used to put Uniroyal Tiger Paws on their trucks, and I don't know what the number was, but it must've been high because those damn tires last forever and still looked brand new. I think I finally tossed them at 120K miles.
Thats what I use and love em.
I've personally installed the RT43's on my own family members cars. They were great. Great in the snow, rain, and they are quiet. I don't think they're in the same class as a Michelin Premiere, but for the price they are great tires.
when i had my 03 wolfsburg i ran 225/45/17 dunlop signature HP's, amazing tire for the money
I almost totalled my RX-8 when my HTRZIII's were not even that bad. Don't get me wrong, they're okay for the price (actually a great drifting tire), but I can't but help think you get what you pay for in terms of how quickly they wear, and especially how bad traction is when they get near the end.
Nexen tires are cheap for a reason. While they may serve you just fine to putt down the highway they are inferior in about every measurable category to most reputable tires, lateral grip, braking, acceleration.
