Tires MICHELIN or DUNLOP
The michelin defender 2 is rated for 70 or 80k miles, and is generally very quiet.
Upgrade them to michellin pilot sports all season worth every penny. More grip for that torque!
Great tire with awesome grip; however I prefer the q4 because the 5s wear out faster.
The Q5/Q5S is a good fire and has great grip with relatively low maintenance in the sense that you don't need to run warmers. What does suck is the wear, which is pretty aggressive ????
I run the Dunlop Direzza on my 2007 JCW - with no complaints.
If you run 17 inch, go for 215/45R17. Get the Michelin Pilot sport 4s or 5, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym 6, or Conti Sportcontact 7/extremecontact (depends if you're in EU or US). Those are the best allround tires you can get. 215/45 offers a bit more contact and a bit more comfort
I swapped my 22" Pirelli Scorpions with the 22" Michelin Defender MS/2 115H. The ride is much more supple, and they cost far less than the Scorpions, while the efficiency is nearly the same (within .14 kwh/mi).
For City just get Toyo Japan made. It'll cost u lest than RM600 per tyre. I've used Dunlop before and it's good. Threadwear high but the tyre not too hard. Good grip in dry but average in wet. Toyo Japan made excellent in wet n dry.
Coming up on 40k on the original factory set. They're about down to the bars, this will be my last summer on them.
Yeah I got like 10k MAYBE. The stock dunlops suck. And frankly I hate that brand.
