Summer tires on my Tig are Michelin Pilot Supersports.. and I have to say, best tire I have every used :thumbup:
I took a look at all the options people noted here and ended up with the Michelin Pilot A/S 3. I have to say the new tires are a lot better then the Pirelli's that were OEM on the car, cornering is much sharper and noise is non existent.
Michelin Primacy MXM4 in 235/40/18 is exactly what I would do! I did similar with 17" wheels on my MKVI TDI and then my friend did it with the 18" wheels on his MKVI GTI. As for the Primacy MXM4, I love them. I've had mine for about 55K miles now and will be replacing them with the exact same thing when the time comes pretty soon, before the winter hits in Pennsylvania. But the tires really have lasted well and they are as quiet and comfortable as any tire I have ever had on a car.
My Bridgestone's lasted about 38k miles. I thought the ride was bad. I put on Michelin Defenders at Sam's Club. I have about 77k on the Routan now; 39k miles on them. They are about half life. The ride is great. Very smooth compared to the Bridgestones.
I finally swapped in Pilot Sports. Much better riding car w/o the runflats.
I run a set of OZ Ultraleggera's which had Michelin PS2's , I just switched to RE-11's. Both of these tires are great, the RE-11 has a stiffer sidewall which effects a little grip but they hold there own for sure. The PS'2 had a better warning when at its limit and still had a little more.
Talk to Tire Rack and/or read all their test reports, and the only tire that is outstanding for your objective, and for DD road use, is the Michelin Pilot Super Sport, or the Bridgestone RE-11.
Try Michelin mxv4.
Energysavers arent so good on wet surfaces, but on normal driving I did not have any problems conserning traction. I had them at rear for 2 years. They last very long.
I switched from the 3D to the Revo1 last year and I regret the purchase... The Revo1 is a better tire from a snow perspective but in all other aspects it's terrible! On dry roads the Revo1s wander and track all over the place, are extremely loud, are very slow on initial turn-in, and wear very quickly! In rainy and slushy conditions they are downright scary!!!
