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.
Here are OEM Conti 5p and Michelin P4S in 235/35/19 mounted on VMR 710FF 19x8.5 et45. OEM Conti’s are a little stretched. But not bad. I ran the wheels that way for two summers before installing the Michelins. The Michelins run a little wider so they are squared off more.
After two years with the car finally some wheels and tires. 18’s on Federal RS-RR 235/40/18. Definitely love the grip
Went with Michelin Latitude X-ice in stock 18\" size, on Sport Edition F5 wheels. Package from Tire Rack - they come mounted and balanced at not charge, and Michelin had a $70 rebate on 4 tires. Wish we'd had more snow this year! In the little we had they worked very well.
I drove about 8k miles on a set of RS-Rs. They ride fairly stiff and produce a hum. Wet traction actually not bad at all. Dry performance was obviously exemplary.
I have Michelin Super Sports on one of my cars and Continental GXs on my other, faster car, and I vastly prefer the Michelins.
I did 215/45/18 xice3 on OE wheel for more sidewall, If I did it again I would do stock size 2254018. I lost a little bit of responsiveness/ punch from the 1/2\" taller overall diameter and also some curb protection from the 1/2\" narrower tire.
