Update 6 months later: I haven't gotten a chance to test them in snow despite getting them in January. It was a very mild winter. But I noticed immediately how much better they handled in the rain. Compared to those these made a real difference and I felt safer. I don't notice any more noise with these.
I do some spirited driving here and there and in general appreciate grip at higher speeds, so the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is my tyre of choice
Have Michelins on it now and it rides great, and the idle has always been slightly rough since new. I have the basic engine and still uses no oil.
But it\u2019s spacious, good gas, and with Michelin sport tires, it rides like a dream. Seriously, upgrading the tires on the seltos makes the car mesmerizing. Almost hitting 60k on it.
Basically, both are pretty good tires and at an equal price or a little bit more, I'd take the Generals...
Replaced the OEM Michelin Primacy XCs at 55k miles. They were down to ~1-2/32nds but still perfectly smooth and quiet. Very pleased with Michelin.
I got the Michelin's earlier this year and have been extremely happy with them. They do lack that aggressive look some want but if you want ride comfort and highway driving these have to be top of list. I believe they're winter rated and all reviews I watched said rain performance was near top for category.
I have been running the Michelin tires for years. Long ago I drove on the set of Michelins till the steel belts were coming out the sides, may pop style. They never did go flat and friends would joke about getting behind me at night. That they could tell it was me because there were sparks coming from the tires. Replaced a set on a Sport Trac I had on since 2002 a couple years ago. They still had tread, it was just that dry rot settled in around the rims. Was cracked so bad that I could put my fingers into the cracks. Wife pestered me so bad that I had to replace them.
You can get Michelins without the sound deadening foam that are a bit cheaper, but I've heard mixed things about how much louder that makes the cabin
At first I thought they were decent but now at 20k miles they don't grip nearly as well, even with my AWD. I turned off traction control the other day and with a damp road (not raining) I did a 4 wheel burnout up to about 50 mph.
