Just put Michelin Premier A/S on my '14. So far so good, $70 off too. They were available at almost every tire store I checked and have a 60k warrant. Car feels tight again.
Exactly what I run on my R. Works perfectly, looks good.
I am running 235/40 R18 Michelin PSS with Neuspeed RSe 10s 18x8.5 for my summers. I am also lowered on Bilstein coils with no fitment problems.
And actually I never posted it, but I made a new top cover for the radiator. It was the first thing I did to the car. I made it out of aluminum sheet. It's amazing what a difference it made to the running temp of the car.
The X-Ices are the best on your list, especially with the discount.
You've had the AS/3's. Frankly, I don't find much 'hard edged' about them. The ride is a bit stiffer than the OEM P Zero A/S tires on my MkVI GTI, but not tremendously. The big payoff is they are MUCH quieter than the Pirellis ever were. And as you likely know, they give up very little in the dry and I have never had a tire of their caliber in the wet. Under most wet driving conditions they drive like the pavement is dry.
I don't have a lot to add about 18s, but my 225 45 17 Michelin Xices are great
I reluctantly put the A/S 3's on my Corrado 2 years ago. My preferred Nitto 555 was NLA in my size. I can honestly say that the all season Michelin is every bit the Z-rated summer only Nitto in 99% of my driving. I will be getting these again for sure. It's a can't lose tire and does live up to it's billing.
I'm not a tire snob, but I will add these to points on my current experience with the A/S 3: Great balance between handling and comfort IMO At about 21k miles of use, mine are well worn- I will likely replace these at only 25k or so. I'm curious if others have had similar experience.
Dude. Ran the michellins, ran the Kumhos and twice have run Dunlop SP5000s .. run the dunlops. They're sub $100/tire, grip much better than the kumhos both wet and dry, take longer to wear and are just all around a better tire. Far better than the michellins, for a fraction of the price.
