Good Info Thanks for the info on this thread, I ordered 245/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires for my 2015 S3 with Magnetic Ride and ECS Tuning flush spacer kit. I'll post pictures of how they fit after they get installed tomorrow. Tires are the best mod, I can't wait to be off these Continentals :laugh:
I'm running firestone firehawk Indy 500's. really grippy, and really quite actually
For real life treadwear experience, all I can tell you is I have done 20000KMs, 7 track days, and about 10 autocrosses on my PSS on my e36 m3 and I'd bet I have 60% tread left.
I'm 2 months into my fire hawk indy 500's...I CANNOT believe they're so cheap. I'm not expecting much more than 30k miles, but they grip exceptionally well even when I expected understeer, the car maintained its line. They're easily the stiffest tire I've ever owned. That can be a good and bad thing.
So far I haven't really pushed them, and I don't do much more than just some very quick backroad driving and highway miles. I've had them for almost a month (even in below / near freezing) and haven't had any issues unless there was snow on the road (obviously since they're summer tires).
I've been happy with the Michelin Pilot 3S all-seasons (I think that's the name), pretty quiet for an ultra high performance all season.
235 40 18 tires on stock 18x7.5 wheels
Yes, i noticed a difference, but not drastic.
I have X-ice 3 on my Tucson and they are great. My brother also has them on his Tucson, he does daily highway drives and he loves them.
I've had both now (99 with Michelins, 03 with Contis). I agree, I think the Michelins \"look\" more sporty (for lack of a better term), but for driving performance, so far I find them fairly equivalent (which is not suprising since they get extremely similar ratings at tirerack.com). Both suck in comparison to the Bridgestones I had put on my 99 tho. (IMO)
