Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE
In my experience, good tires like Michelin retain their good qualities at the end of their life better. They stay quiet and don't lose traction until the very end.
Like the Bridgestone Turanza 6 is pretty damn good, it's probably the best summer touring tyre on the market right now. Comfort and low noise typical of a touring tyre, with performance approaching a UHP.
Honestly ive had defenders and ecopias on my gc i just put on some cross climates 2 and i love them! Nice a quiet great in wet conditions and unreal in snow!
I mean one of the first things I did on my Golf R was.... better rubber and it really did transform the car.(FYI... highly recommend the newish Bridgestone Potenza Sports). I guess the other point is.. don't skimp on tires. Pay for what you get.
I have these uncommon/hard-to-find Michelin summer tires (made in Germany - they are normally for the base 15" wheel on Minis) on my Yaris and it's legitimately fun. It's like a grand-touring summer, not a full-fledged high-performance tire. The main thing I was after was better braking compared to the rock-hard LRR tires that came on it.
My Mazda3 OEM tires were BRIDGESTONE
TURANZA EL440, and they worked amazingly and lasted for a full 50k miles.
I'm now running Michelin Power Cup TLRs for my road setup (similar to GP5000s) and I beat my fastest commute, my fastest long descent, and my fastest loop with hills handily. Before that I was running heavy commuter slicks.
Best tires I’ve ever owned for all weather
I’ve noticed that my CC2’s on my Quest are about as loud as the BFG KO2’s on my Titan.
Bridgestone Runs flats on my x7 last about 16k miles.
