This is my review of the Michelin Hydroedge tires. For those who have small SUVs, vans and mid/full-size cars this review might be helpful if you are seeking new tires for the family vehicle. They are all-season tires that ride soft, offer a long life-span, safe handling in adverse conditions and emit low road noise. The best thing about these tires besides the longevity is the rainy weather handling. Don't ask how I know...but these REFUSE to hydroplane in even several inch deep water going 40-50mph. You have almost as total control in very wet conditions as you do in dry conditions.
Unfortunately, just the stock Michelin A/S 255-width ones.
The tires are great in the rain, great in the dry, quiet and give a good ride quality. People have had bad luck with bubbles, yes, but I had no such luck in the past.
They're excellent tires in wet & dry conditions, but as other people have mentioned, they're very prone to sidewall issues and tend to bubble.
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 225/40ZR18 Excellent wet tire traction and durability. After 20K miles, they begin to lose their good aquatic capability. Medium to Low noise. Good-Excellent grip with less than 20K miles on them
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
Pretty much any replacment market tire will corner better than the OE tire. The OE tires are tuned to the OEM requirements, where ride and noise are the primary concerns for 95% of all OEM fitments. since you have winters, get a good Max performance Summer tire like the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3. It was just rated the best all around max performance summer tire in the latest issue of Eurotuner magazine. In the end, any Max performance Summer tire will be far better at cornering than your OE tires.
from observation running these pilot sports low under 35 psi will create wear on the outter edge of the tire if you have it around 38-37 front and 37-36 rear, your wear will be even
averick I did run the XGT V4's which were from the factory.. again I still stand by my word that those tires were ASS.
