Tires MICHELIN or Firestone
PS4S
Michelins are worth double compared to generals.
I used Michelin 2ct in the front and Michelin road 6 in the back for one season because the front lasts way longer than the rear. Had no problems.
I’ve tried Pirelli, Bridgestone and Michelin.
The Michelin’s ride is way smoother and softer.
I'm about 7 months into CC2s on my 2021 Forester and I'm now a fan. It took some getting used to but the driving has been really comfortable. Really good grip in wet weather and I'm not really seeing much if any dip in MPG. On longer trips I'm still clocking 34-35 MPG. For the noise people mentioned, I don't notice much of a difference from the stock tires - Bridgestone Ecopias.
I have them on my Forester, like them a lot. I don't notice the noise too much, but the Forester is rather loud anyways. They seem to be wearing at a normal rate.
I think the michelins have the slight edge in feel and edge grip, but the cost of them is just too high to justify at nearly double what Roadsmart 3's are selling for on sale, now that the Roadsmart 4's are out.
Just put Michelin pilot sport 4s on my rsx type s. So much better than the BFGs that were on it previously. Pricey but recommended.
These are cool looking... notably the tires are not as good for street riding and you can replace them with those sweet michelin city grips. The brake pads are also not so thick on these so keep an eye on them.
The Firehawk Indy is a really good tire for performance but sucks for every day use. They get very noisy after a few heat cycles and they offer little to no wet grip. In fact once they're around 50% they're straight up ice skates in the rain.
