I’ve been running Michelin pilot super sport and 4s for almost five years and they’ve been amazing. They completely transformed the car, especially cornering.
When I got my car last December, I ran the factory Yokohamas for the winter since they were brand new and it was already almost January. This year I bought a set of Michelin X-ICEs on steel rims. It's the first time I've ever been able to afford winter tires, and I definitely feel a difference compared to all-seasons.
The great white north here. Excellent traction in snow, and pretty good on ice. The benefits in wet and dry traction over normal winters for the times when it's not extreme conditions outweighs having dedicated winter tires. At least where I'm at.
I replaced my BFGoodrich MT T/A tires on my Wrangler with Hankook AT2 Extreme's, and what a difference. I'm 8,000 miles in on the AT2's, and there is zero sign of wear. My wife's mind was blown that our jeep was so much quieter, and we could have a conversation at highway speed without having to yell over the tire noise. These things are practically silent.
The off-road performance is greatly improved. Where the MT's would lose traction on mountain trails, the AT2's keep their grip and keep me moving.
Put some Hankooks on there; so much quieter and more comfortable. They aren’t as confidence-inspiring as the Yokos, but they are so much quieter and more forgiving. Kw/mi dropped to 270 with a mix of aggressive city driving and highway between 75-85mph.
Also there are better summer tires out there, I recommend the Michelin pilot sport 4s or the new Continental that recently came out, they have amazing performance and last a long time.
I have the Hankook ION EVO on my M3 and they are a great smooth efficient tire, they now have 6k miles on them and no signs of wear yet.
For those in the market for new tires I just put a set of the Hankook ion evo tires on the X and they are INCREDIBLE. Before throwing these tires on I was definitely of the "there's no way these foam tires are going to make a differnce" school of thought. I'm a believer.
Good years are really nice, Michelin preform well but suck to work on in case you get a nail
Go with the Continentals. Michelin wear down too fast.
