Tires MICHELIN or Cooper
I put coopers on my last two ats and I loved them.
I just picked up some Cooper Discoverer SST Pros for $206 each at Discount Tire. Almost $70 per tire less than everywhere.
Looks like Cup2 240s are available in the 225 size. Never used them but I'm a massive fan of the normal Cup2 on my 911.
Cooper has always done me right. Top tier stuff. I have no experience with Kelly.
I don't have experience with Kellys, but so far enjoying my Coopers.
If these tires are any good they are an incredible bargain.
Honestly, I'd take Cooper over Kelly without hesitation... Not that I have a problem with Kelly, but I have a lot of experience with Cooper and currently have them on my daily driver.
For conditions like you’ll see in Ohio, I would not run these all year round. I think that’s too risky. If you want a single tire for all weather, get the Michelin Cross Climate 2.
I replaced my stock Toyo 19’s last spring with Michelin defender’s. Much more comfortable, but I find that the car doesn’t handle as well (doesn’t feel as responsive), which is what attracted me to the car when I bought it.
I personally didn't like Michelin tires when I was a tire technician, but I won't discount their strengths. The biggest problem with Michelin tires is dry rot, I don't recommend them if the car sits for long periods outside.
