Tires MICHELIN or Firestone
I just put on the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s through discount tire. My all in cost was $1,100.
They are a great all around tire. The grip feels much better than the OEM tires. The biggest downside in my opinion is a ~4% drop in range. I’d prefer having the performance and safety over slightly longer range.
I have a Model 3 sleeper Performance and I can say I have been really happy with the Cross Climate 2 as well.
I run Michelin X-Ice studded tires here for our Northern Finland winters.
On snow covered back roads, it might as well be dry, that's how good they are. Stopping, cornering, no issues at all while driving normal to lightly spirited.
I've driven a friends' Tesla that had Continental tires and followed a few advices on Reddit and changed them for Michelins... the difference is day and night: grip is better, road noise is noticeably lower.
I would highly recommend - Michelin X-ICE Snow Blizzak WS90 Either are phenomenal tires for snow & ice. I have used multiple Blizzak WS series for my EVO 8/9/10s and STi's, and used the X-ICE on the last 3 STi's I had. I plan on using the Michelin X-ICE on the factory wheels on my 2022 GTI S, because I like the better cornering stability of the sidewall vs. Blizzak...the Blizzak's have an extremely soft sidewall, and if you corner too hard it feels like the tires just want to roll over. Remember to take them off once it gets above 40 degrees otherwise you are going to wear the tread out quickly because the cell material is so soft.
I have been very happy with our Michelin X-Ice for the last 3 winters.
So he did just that, pulled the steel wheel out, added liquid rubber and sealed the fuck outta that hole from the inside. $15 is all it costed me while Firestone would’ve convinced my stupid asss to drop $150 on a tire. I’m so pissed lol
Just replaced them with the Michelin Crosstreads because I want better winter and overall braking performance.
Cheap tires are loud tires. I've always had cheap tires and I'm getting tired of all the constant noise. I think next time, I will splurge and get some Michelin.
Stay away from American made tires, it might sound crazy to hear but it's true. Michelin, Goodyear, MasterCraft, Cooper, they aren't worth the hassle the compound is much too soft.
