Tires MICHELIN or DUNLOP
I just got Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on my 19 Santiago wheels and I really like them, amazing grip both on wet and dry, would recommend them!
Currently i have Stock tires on my Tiguan but im looking to put Michelin Premier LTX on it i have that on my old car it reduce road noise a little and its great on wet i was going 80mph on my old cars on pouring rain.
- By 2006, Michelin was vastly superior to Bridgestone in wet weather conditions in general.
I just replaced my Dunlops that came with my 2015 GT after 40k miles about a few weeks ago. I got the Michelin tires after doing my own research, and I'm pretty happy that I did. I'm in my car roughly two hours a day commuting to work, and I think they grip better and are noticeably quieter than the OEMs.
The michelins are better than the dunlops in every other way. I have 25k on mine and rotate them every 7k ish. Each with an oil change.
Ours will be getting Michelin Premiers (have great wet traction) in the next year or so as the OEM Continentals are just okay.
I got new tires at about 35k miles because those were trash. Got Michelin defenders. 20k miles on them and still look like brand new tread.
The winter tires - Michelins - got about 10k put on them.
Have Dunlop Sig HP 235/45r17 on my Volt. Not a bad tire. Grip is much higher than the stockers of course. Weird thing though, around 2 different off ramps at a similar speed to the stock tires, the ESP light comes on. I know it is getting light on the back inside tire, but I am coasting, not braking. Though, not sure how the regen works with the rear tires. So maybe the car is braking the back tires at the same amount as the regen is braking the front axle? Either way, never got an ESP light on any cornering with stock tires, and get it occasionally with the new ones. Slight slight bit of howl, but coming from the crap hypermile OE tires, everything is going to be louder. For the price I paid, I will not complain a bit.
We previously had the Signatures on our Avant and I did not care for them. They were far less sporty than the A/S3s that are on one of our other cars now and also wore poorly and became pretty noisy as they wore. They had sort of a "blocky" feeling to me.
