Recently upgraded a W8 wagon to 17 inch wheels and General Exclaim UHP Z-rated tires from Tire Rack. So far delighted. General is a Continental subsidiary, tires are mfg in Germany. Amazing level of comfort for a Z-rated tire.
Unfortunately, just the stock Michelin A/S 255-width ones.
The Generals are great, i had a set of falkens on the car and my new wheels i put the generals on and the handling in the rain was way better, dry they might be a little sticker but i really don't push my car that hard so i really cant say.
I have these tires and i like them a lot. You should print out tireracks price, take it in to where your going to buy them and they should match the price. thats what i did and i got my 17's for 70$ something a peice.
Had em on my last 3 cars and the new one...Great tire but that's WAY too much for em..Tirerack.com should be more like $80 per tire.. Good in the rain and great around turns... It's NOT a snow tire though, it's a high performance summer tire. Overall I LOVE them...
I just got them mounted on Tuesday night, so haven't driven them far. They ride far nicer than my Nokian Hakka winters . Only downfall to the Generals is max pressure is 44 psi, so it's pretty marginal. But they are a 100H tire, so that's good. Plus they were not pricy.
The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s are the most fantastic tires I've ever had on any car. I love them, and will gladly put forth the cash for another set when they finally wear out someday.
I run 245/40/17 Michelin Pilot sport cups on 17x8" Et 35 rims with stock springs -> no rubbing
Just installed new tires on our Phaeton. The old Michelins were actually dangerous. For reference, I'm not talking about driving through giant puddles at high speed; every time this happened we were on the freeway. So -- I researched everything out there and settled on the Michelin® Pilot Sport A/S (255/45R18). All I can say is... WOW!!! What a huge difference in performance; the car turns in much better and grips like crazy. These tires should be standard on this car! This tire seems to improve on the factory tire in every area of performance, and is supposed to be superb in the wet as well.
Luckily Bridgestone has a 30-day test drive program where if you're not happy with the tires for any reason, you can return them for a full refund. I walked into Curry's, told them I didn't like Potenzas and walked out with a set of Michelin MXV$ Plus tires.
