We're almost a year later and I did end up getting the PS5, very impressed by the tire so far, and since the tire allowed it I ended up driving the car in conditions that I wouldn't have had I gotten a more extreme tire, I really thought I just wouldn't even want to drive it in shit weather, but turns out I did want to and having tires that didn't allow would suck. Dry grip is impressive, I've driven Pzero and other tires that are supposed to be premium and sporty, but that didn't feel THAT much better over just a good quality but standard level tire. But these are a very noticeable step up, to the point that when you want to get squirrely the extra grip really shows as they're much harder to break loose. Wet gry is really good and overall they seem to be pretty progressive. We'll see for track days hopefully later this year.
For as much time as you spend on the freeway I would 100% go with the Discoverer AT3s! Such a dope tire! Superb road manners, ultra quiet, and awesome capabilities when you push them!
Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S! Went from KO2’s to these and it’s a night and day difference in terms of handling, smoothness, MPG, and most important (for me)- cold/ wet weather performance!
Michelin Defender LTX M/S. They are silky smooth on the highway and very capable off-road. The downside is, they don't have an aggressive look, if that's what you're going for.
My M3 came with PS4S with the factory and when it's time for new tires I'll be replacing them with the same tires. They have been great overall and even though we got a bit of rain here this season in CA I didn't have any problems with them
The last set of Michelin pilot sport's I had, I could drive in the wet like I did in the dry, with the absolute confidence my car would handle exactly as I expected it to, with no aqua plaining.
Michelin Defenders are the best tire you can get in my opinion. If you don’t need all terrains, it’s Defenders every day all day. I’ve had a dozen sets on various vehicles and they are simply the best.
My daily truck has Michelins on it, and they are the best tire I've ever had on it.
BTW PS4S are expensive as hell right now!!
My experience with the Cooper AT3:
2011 Land Rover LR4. I Put about 50k miles on the set in 2 years. No punctures.
* Excellent on road manners
* Quiet, smooth.
* Even tread ware
* AWFUL (I.E. not safe) Snow and ice performance
* Poor mud traction, poor gravel traction, mehh wet traction.
