Heard great things about the Michelin Pilot, I personally went with Continental ExtrmeContact DWS06+ and vast improvement on ‘19 GLI.
I personally have gotten over 90k on a set of 4. I would’ve gotten more but I really like driving the family around safely! I had almost 1/8 of an inch before the tread wear indicators were visibly there. But the safety letter near the outer wall was almost gone.
I replaced my Ecopia’s with Continental CrossContact LX25 and loved them! They were quiet, wore slowly, great in all conditions (especially rain, snow, and ice)
I have used the 595-RSR tires for 8 years now, several sets. yes they are noisy, get worse with miles but I noticed the newest ones were even louder! These tires are the ultimate in grip/handling, one of the few that can put FWD power to the ground. Make my cars handle like its on rails and they don't squeal when pushing to the limit around corners. They are so sticky they pick up all the rocks/debris and throw it up in your wheel wells/rockers. I think they are easily one the best handling tire out there. Very stiff sidewalls, but extremely loud (like louder than winter tires). If you can handle the sound and dont expect a lot of miles out of them, go for it.
I tried driving my 2022 on stock tires for a couple days in a Wisconsin winter and the car felt like it was on hockey pucks. If you can afford to do winter tires and summer tires, do it. Bridgestone Blizzak WS90’s and Michelin Ice-X’s are amazing tires in winter. If you want to do all seasons, I recommend Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 2’s or Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4’s for a more performance-oriented tire or Michelin CrossClimate2 tires for the best all-weather performance.
I had Continental 5000s on my bike at 28 mm, and I switched to 32s when the 28s got old after about 3000 or 4000 miles. I love the 32s.
I should add: they seem as fast and are very comfortable.
You can have max comfort, control, or max speed, but not all three. I’ve run conti GPS both 32(tubeless) and 28 (tubes) and prefer the 32s. The speed difference if any is negligible, but I definitely notice a difference in comfort and grip.
I am about a week in on these new tires and they feel much smoother than the Michelins did. Not as rough over bumps and potholes, and less road noise.
The Conti’s were smooth, but their steering feel was just too soft and mushy for me, if that makes sense. The Michelins are a perfect balance, I feel.
I have a Genesis G80 with ProContact tx's on it and they're garbage. I'm on my second set after 3000 miles after MFG warranty. They caused vibrations and failed road force balancing.
