Tires MICHELIN or DUNLOP
The Dunlop's that come with the bike were pretty good but the Pilot Road 6 I've got on them right now are just marvellous on grip and wear. I don't think I'll pick a different tyre from now on.
I decided to try out Michelin x ice snow tires this year. They’ve been great. My EN with these snows is much better in the snow than my previous forester with all seasons.
I have been using Michelin Pilot Sport S 4, and they are the best tire I've ever used on the car and I have used many brands.
When I finally wear out my Bolt tires I am going to be a decent set of Michelines possibly one size up, and see how long they last me.
As unbelievable at this picture looks I have had exactly the same tyre wear on my R58 - my front tyres 3-4mm across tread and both rear tyres almost completely bald across entire width and these were Michelin PS 4
I had put Michelin Crossclimate 2 tires on my Model 3. I lost about 10% range but gained a much better traction in rain and snow.
Anyways I'm picking up a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2s tomorrow...I am very impressed how these tires preform on our Atlas.
Michelin - I've had the Pilot Super Sport and Pilot AS4+. They're definitely not cheap, but hands down superior to the Continental equivalent. The AS4+ is almost grippy enough to compete with the Conti summer tire, while also being quieter and producing slightly higher gas mileage.
I drove them through 3 winters and did pretty ok. Took them off at 30K because they were screaming around corners every time I turned and it was annoying. They had lost their good traction properties in wet conditions by that time anyways.
Went sideways driving on ice last year in the OEM Dunlops, and while it was kinda fun, it was terrifying to experience zero traction even at low speed.
Now that I have a proper set of Blizzaks, it’s like night and day. Insane traction and way better stopping power.
