Tires MICHELIN or Goodyear
I have 19 in wheels on my lux and found Michelin lattitudes would get 40+ Miles.
I run Michelin Pilot Sport 4’s all year round in the UK with no issues. Good tyres.
I highly recommend Michelin A/S 3+ all weathers. They are amazing, my only issue so far is that they’re a little loud (road noise in the summer), but they have incredible grip, and seem to hold out great given the crazy weather.
Have you experienced any issues with the Michelins? I run them and they have been flawless.
I never had to use more than an ounce and a half on any of the name brand tires I mounted. Never needed more than a half ounce on Michelins.
I went with Pilot Sport 4's, as the 4S isn't available in 18" size. Absolutely fantastic tires. They have more grip and feel in the wet than the Nankangs that the car came with had IN THE DRY. You can really play with the too, when it's wet. Doesn't really eat the surface then, and the car is very controllable and fun to drift. In the dry they are amazing. Can't even compare them to anything else I've driven. Comfort and noise are good on the road, and the tire is stiff enough to take it to the track occasionally.
I got 35K miles on my 2012 OEMs GYs and bgt michelin Lattitudes as replacements that had 30K+ miles when I traded in for emissions scandal and they still had plenty of thread. They are not bad considering the weight of the car.
I run 205/50/R17 Michelin X-Ice XI3s on OEM Silex rims. It has been worth every damn penny in snowy and icy conditions. The extra impact absorption on late winter frost heaves and potholes is icing on the cake.
For what it\u2019s worth, I went down two wheel sizes with my 2018 Golf R. 19 to 17 for Michelin snow tires, from 235/35-19 to 225/45-17. Not much weather yet to really test but some handling loss of course.
Our '11 Yaris came with these in a T-rated 185/60-15 with 160 treadwear. They had some tread left but were super unsafe by 20k miles (no traction on wet roads and uncontrollable axle hopping wheelspin with light acceleration). Total throwaway trash tires: super loud, no grip, harsh riding.
