Owner reviews for tires
I've got a bit over 7000 miles on them and I have the same impressions. I really enjoy these tires. Quiet, sticky, great wet traction and dry. Very very happy with them.
I have these on my MKV R32 and love them. They are the best tires I have had on this car (previously Sumitomo HTR P01 A/S which were the LEAST durable tire ever and OEM stock dunlops) These are the most quiet, grippiest, most comfortable tires I have used.
YES< Subaru ahs better AWD, but put on Tig good snow tires like Dunlop M3 or Pirelli or Michelin, and there is no obstacle. I used those tires on FWD and RWD cars in Southern Alps and never had issues, never got stuck, always break on a dime. With 4Motion they are unstoppable.
If it helps, I can tell you that Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 235/ 40 R18 tires on 18x8 ET 43 wheels fit perfectly on the MK6. My speedo is about 1.5mph off @ 70mph, according to my GPS. No rub, no nothing, just horrible road noise from 95Y rated tires.
Damn those stretch incredibly well compared to my Nitto's These are my 205/40/18 on an 8.5
GREAT in the snow and they are quiet, comfortable and handle well in all other conditions.
Took the T-reg out on the country roads and I must say I love the feeling of the new Michelin tires, and of course how quiet they are.
Ive had them on the car for 2 weeks not 215/35/18. Yeah probably aren't great in the snow, and they are only rated to H but Im not going above hundred ever. Bid Deal. They do stretch GREAT and Thats honestly the reason why i got them:thumbup:. If you read the reviews they are decent but not crappy by any means. I'm running -2.5 degrees in the rear on air ride and I'm not spending $500-$800 to go through tires in 10k miles
I ran them on my R32, lasted about 20k miles. I was not impressed with them. Not sticky enough of a tire to have so short a tread life, not cheap enough either. I expected a hard tire that would last me awhile, and I got a hard tire that wore out at the same rate as a Toyo R-compound tire. Will not be buying Direzzas again. For the same price range I'd stick with Kuhmo's or Falken Ziex.
