I looked up a review of the PS3's and found a comparison test between those, the Eagle's, the Continental asymmetrical all season and another tire. I was most interested in the PS3 but after reading the review/tests it seems the Eagle may suit my priorities better- the biggest being fuel consumption. Of the 4 the Eagle picked up an extra mile and change worth of MPG over the PS3. Both did well in the dry and wet handling trials.
Just last week I changed out my Stock Conti's @ 37,000 miles to Goodyear Eagle F1 AS. The tires are good and well made, but are a little more nosiy.
Primacy owner here. Not sure about other Michelins, but these tires have a sunflower seed oil coating that improves the overall grip. Driving around corners you immediately notice the grip and extra cornering speed. For performance and overall economy, these are the best tires i've ever owned.
We put Primacy MXV4's on my GF's Kia Forte and love them.
I put a set of Michelin Latitude tires on my wife's Liberty. What a different from using a more dedicated off-road tire.
Our '11 Yaris came with the almost universally-hated Bridgestone RE92s. At 18k miles/two years we were ready to replace them since we were getting lots of ABS and traction control action (wheelspin galore) on wet roads as well as occasional stability control intervention during quick-ish maneuvers in normal driving. Since this is my wife's car, I put a priority on traction, excellent braking and grip on wet roads and quietness/smooth ride over outright handling (she's a calm driver) -- so I had a set of Defenders put on her car today while Costco is having $70 off a set this month. They are really excellent and have transformed the car. Before, with the Bridgestones, it was difficult to carry on a conversation, especially with anyone in the back seat. Now, you can do it -- there's more engine and wind noise than road noise (previously it was the opposite). Minor impacts like potholes and reflectors are much less noticeable, too. Handling is just adequate since it's a standard touring tire, but steering response is decent (but not super quick, either) and there's a lot of ultimate grip there (definitely not all roly-poly). Braking seems much better, too. I stomped the brakes going down a bumpy hill leaving my neighborhood (ABS would always go off in this spot with the old tires) and the car just stopped without any drama, which was refreshing. Give them a shot if you're looking for a competent, quiet, smooth tire that lasts a long time (90k warranty!) if you have a vehicle in your household that doesn't require a sporty tire.
I switch from the 255/40R19 oem Pirellis to 215/65R16 Michelin XiceXi2 (one winter so far) for the season. No complaints, except for the look of going from 19x9 to 16x6.5 (super inboard in the rear).
Trying out michelin xice i2s this winter- reviews are great.
My first set of marketed LRR tires were Michelin Energy MXV4+ on my MKIV Golf. Admittedly they were great tires in dry and wet until they had some miles on them and went to hell in a handbasket.
I swear, this is the worst tire I have ever encountered in my entire life. Sure it rides smooth and soft, and makes almost no noise whatsoever, but is SUCKS as a tire! The tire gives up traction all the time. It totally destroys my confidence when driving my 2003 GTI 1.8T Sport.
