Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE
When my OEMs are gone I have always bgt Michelins and been very pleased. If I get 40-50K miles on a tire I'm happy.
Running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's -225/45 r17. Over a year on them in pothole Ohio. No problems whatsoever, Even with hitting the odd pothole directly.
Just switched from the DWS to the MPSAS4 and the Michelin is by far the more performance oriented all season tire.
Oh then 1000% get Michelin pilot sport a/s 3+ not even a debate. They ARE sports car tires, handling is off the chain, they have stupid long mileage warranty, they are phenomenal in the rain, and they are fantastic in light snow (say 3" or less) and light ice. But they are definitely dead silent.
I run Michelin Premier A/S and I’ve really enjoyed them. I also run my tire a little bit taller and more narrow than factory. I like the taller sidewall for ride comfort.
I popped a tire on the lip of one of California's ubiquitous ~~potholes~~ sink holes. If I ever buy another "no spare" car it better have airless tires like the [Michelin uptis](https://michelinmedia.com/michelin-uptis/) on it standard.
The AS Pilot Sport 4’s (not to get confused with Pilot Sport 4S) are are almost up to par with Michelin X-Ice in the snow and are amazing in dry conditions.
Michelin tires are a softer rubber than Bridgestone tires. This means that Michelin tires will give you a slightly better grip on the road, but the trade off is tire life/wear.
The Michelin sidewalls had all the support in the world, to the point of feeling harsh. Awesome in the corners though but the car definitely thudded over expansion joints and bumps.
I have not been impressed with any recent set of Michelin tires I’ve had. Hard to balance and rough rides. I loved a set of General RT43s I had. Smooth as butter.
