I use Michelin 235 40 18 4S on my MK7 with Neuspeed RSe12 8"x18" and the grip is a tick better than the standard size. This combo is also lighter than the stock wheels and tires...and along with the suspension modifications, it's a difficult subject to try to quantify. I am always concerned with wheel and tire weight...that drives my decision making...if you like the look of a 19" rim, go for it. I think that you will find a larger variable between tire types and widths where ultimate grip is concerned...steering response is in theory better with a lower profile tire, but sidewall construction will also affect steering response with a similar tire size range.
I just put the Pilot Sport 4S tires on my 21 3.3 Sport Prestige and I absolutely love them. I had kuhmos on it before and they were absolutely trash tires compared to these. These new ones are way stiffer and way better performance in turns and just all around feel like a better tire.
Michelin Cross Climate 2's unless off roading.
I like my Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons. Grippy, great wet performance, and it won't break the bank.
Michelins for the best wear. Not nearly as soft as khumos though so won't grip quit as well. I got 75k out of my last set
New X-Ice are great in snow and ice. They wear quite quickly in warm weather.
Have to say I have been impressed with them so far in all conditions. I had assumed they would be noisy, but no more so than a more conservatively treaded tire.
I’m running Michelin pilot sport 4s. Hands down the best summer tire in the market. I’m running them on my 370z, FType, and my Lotus 400. Absolutely love them.
I just put a set on my CX-30 350 miles ago and had two issues. They were loud, stuff and bumpy so I checked them at home and brought them down to factory specs and they got much quieter and smoother.
I came here looking for advice on other tire brands because I just got back from a garage after having a Michelin Primacy blowout, at speed, on the interstate, come to find that blowouts are pro rated. I only have 20k on these tires and that’s fuckin’ bullshit.
