Tires MICHELIN or Goodyear
Just ordered the Michelin Pilot 4S a few days ago. I’ve had it just shy of a year. All of my gas savings are just being put into tires instead... lol
Awesome table! But I'm surprised to see the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 omitted. Supposedly the best winter performance tire available for the Model 3 (I have them in 19", and would tend to agree).
The 4S's are defnitely great tires. I've had them on my Golf R since April (replacing a worn out set of PSS's)....very impressed. The grip is just awesome
The Michelin Cross Climate + seems too good to be true. Loses almost nothing to the PS4S in the dry and adds both durability and winter/snow performance. Seems like those mounted on some 18s that clear the brakes would be the ideal tire for the M3P.
I have 4S's on my Z4MC, and DWS's on my Golf R. Gotta have a winter-compatible tire on one of them. The 4S's are spectacular on the M.
You are missing 235/35R-20 MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN PA4 N-SPEC N0(PORSCHE), ASYMMETRIC, GT4 XL. They can be had for $250 new and are absolutely amazing 20” winter tires that can be used as all seasons if needed. I traveled in April to Yosemite and Chicago winter ice storm for 90 miles in blizzard and they performed flawlessly. They were fine in my Arizona portion of the trip at 35C. I have OEMs Pilots 4S 20” and the Alpins have more thread left even though I drove more miles on them. I have 27k miles in a few days under a year on my P3D and I am not getting the Pilots 4S when these run out because they are too soft.
I've driven the F80 M3 on these, and they were fantastic. I had the factory Conti SportContacts on my E90, and then switched to the PSS tires, and it was night and day. For daily driving in temperate climates, there's no better tire than the P4S at the moment.
I just put a set on my S6 replacing the factory Pirelli's. the Pirelli's were garbage and lasted a whopping 16K miles. The road noise from the Michelin is way quieter and the grip is much better especially on initial turn-in.
I run the PA4's in stock 18\" size and they do fine down here in southwest ohio. If I was further north and typically got more snowfall I'd probably have gone with a more straight up snow tire opposed to a performance snow tire.
I have seen Goodyear tires (that have not been ran flat) that are just completely destroyed. The rubber compound and the foundation of the tire is just complete garbage. Most Goodyear tires that fail are only a few years old, and should have many miles left in them. The pre-mature cracking, and ply separation in these tires is extreme!
