I have them on my 250l and they work great, they get the job done off road while still providing a lot of grip on road. The tire compound is quite soft which helps on road.
Owner reviews for tires
Went with the P4 four seasons plus. the tires are night and day better than what was on there. Ride is smoother, much quieter, better wet traction.
Similar van (VW Routan) and I went with Falken Pro G4 A/S @ $108 each at Discount Tire. Nice, quiet and surprisingly better than the OEM Michelin tires that were on there.
I've had very good luck when I have michelins on the car. Much better grip/wear/noise than the factory goodyears.
I've had Goodyear Assurance before but I had Comfort Tread not the fuel saver ones. I would buy again, they were quiet, good traction, stayed round, held air, etc.
My guess would be that NASCAR tires are on the very hard end of the F1 tyre spectrum with the cornering loads/weight that NASCAR has in comparison.
I have been using the same Continental Extreme Contact DW and separate winter tires for a year and a half and they have outstanding grip in wet and dry, are quite and wear is OK too.
Nope, you don't need to change all four. I had a similar problem on my Subaru Legacy years ago, and I simply bought one new tire and then took it to a local race shop and had them shave the new tire to the same depths of the old one.
When I had BBS RCs I switched from 225/40/18 General Exclaim UHPs to 215/40/18 Nankang NS-II. Not the best tire (by a long shot), on the low end of decent I'd say, but they were cheap and available in the size I was looking for.
Those firestones are horrible. The dealer wants to give you them because they are the cheapest option....if you want winter tires without studs, get something better that was designed to not have studs in the first place.
