Tires MICHELIN or Falken
Michelin pilot sport 4s, best tire by far. So far gone about 20-30k on them in the same car that ripped apart the goodyears.
I replaced the shitty tires on mine with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and the difference is out the gate.
I went the opposite. They both handle about the same. I only got about 18k out of the mpss. I'm at 10 on the continentals, and they still look brand new.
I had numbers 1 and 2 on my 2016 GS 350. The Michelin’s were better by far.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4. Great longevity. Wear evenly/ not loud. Good drip in all conditions.
Bought my wife's car with a set of new Michelins on it, which are arguably top tier tires.
They lasted 60,000 miles. Quiet riding, predictable handling, wore evenly.
I put a set of Mastercraft tires on it as replacement. 1/3 the cost and they were not the "cheapest" by far.
They were definitely noisier and harder riding. They lasted about 25,000 miles.
They have a slightly different speed rating (Y vs. W) due to whatever the differences in the compound they use are. This can mean that they'll wear differently to the 2 other tyres you've got on the vehicle, but realistically it probably won't make a huge/noticeable difference.
I have the Michelin CrossClimate 2s on my car. Amazing tire, I love the handling but they are LOUD.
I have used the Yokohama IG88 or whatever it's called and Michelin X Ice Snow. The Yoko's got me into an accident, the Michelins were still fun to drive spiritedly in the dry while also being confidence-inspiring in bad conditions.
run as fast as you can from the Falken tires. mine were absolute shit
