I now have 18" wheels and tires to replace the base car's 17" and that was all that was needed, good Michelins as well.
They're expensive but Michelin Pilot Super Sports are the best damn tires. They're grippy, quiet and last a long time for summer tires.
The PS4S is the best tire I’ve ran so far. Everything just clicks. Good wear (I rotate every 3k), quiet, good sidewalk stiffness but very compliant for a daily driver, good feedback and gradual breakaway at the limit. I really really really like these and frankly they’re worth the premium.
600 miles on these cheap communist tires and they don't suck. Traction is almost as good as the michelin defenders I had previously. Braking distance is decent. Low road noise. The ride was a little bumpy at first but they smoothed out after a few hundred miles.
Changed over to winter tires (Blizzak) around Thanksgiving and put about 10K miles on them over the winter. No issues, handles great.
So far I have had good luck with Bridgestone Blizzak W80 snows for my Subaru Legacy sedan. I have a set of 4 that currently have 34,000 Winter miles on them and they aren't worn enough to require replacement yet - I should get another Winter season out of them. So for longevity I find these tires have done well for me .
With the crappy factory Continentals we immediately regretted not having 4-Motion as the traction wasn\u2019t the best in the wet or dusty (first wet) conditions. However, after changing to Michelin PS4 SUV tires we have found a new love for her.
I have PS4 (not S) AO Audi OEMs on the A4 and they are amazing. At 26k I'm about ready for a new set.
Had the Conti All Seasons last winter and was not real happy how they performed on ice/snow. Wife was slipping and sliding all over, especially in single digit temps. Took advantage of a Costco Bridgestone deal and got the Blizzak snow tires for about $700 after installation. Haven't had a chance to test them yet in the elements, but the ride is very quiet although a little more floaty/soft. Can't take the corners as fast as you would with the Conti's.
That model Bridgestone tires is terrible in winter. Traction goes away below 45°. Wet weather is a challenge to say the least. I took them off and put on continental DWS tires at 10,000 miles.
