I have never been disappointed with Michelin tires. Ever.
Over the last 20 years I\u2019ve liked Michelin the most for normal daily driving, they tend to be pricier than comparable brands but when you factor in balance, noise, traction, and wear I\u2019d say I prefer them.
Michelin is the only tire i've ever seen almost basically take no weight on our wheel balancer (assuming a perfectly straight wheel), even without match-mount. Speaks volumes to their manufacturing processes and quality control.
Hankook RF-10 for anything truck wise. Quiet ride and excellent grip and wear in all conditions.
Michelin is the only brand I'm always completely happy with...Midrange and up tires from other brands like Bridgestone (Potenza 750 and similar) and BFG (G-Force Sport)...have been okay but there always end up being some characteristics that make me wish I'd spent the extra $100 on some Michelins, like getting really noisy after a year, not working well in the rain and slush, not balancing absolutely perfectly, weird resonant noises at various speeds, etc.
Ran the Xi3's this past winter when I was traveling 200 miles every 8 weeks, with the same trip most weekends. Tires ran quiet on highway, stable performance in wet or dry. We saw some ice and it gripped as if it was wet. No complaints
Tires Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 225/45ZR17 94/y.
Fairly quiet tires, grip is good, and they've never left me wanting.
I'm running 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires on my stock 18" Laguna wheels on my Mk6.
NVH is similar to the stock tires, but they have way more grip.
I have the V2 Concept2 all-seasons on my Mazda3 and the Ventus V12 Evo K120 summers on my Mustang. You really get what you pay for. The Concept2's have good ride and noise, but the wet performance is abysmal. The Ventus V12s are a decent performance tire but they greatly lack the dry grip of Pirelli P Zeros or Michelins.
The biggest tire buying mistake I've made was a set of Hankook V12's(not the newer evo2 version, which should be better). Honestly had them off my car in three weeks, the only good qualities being comfort and noise level. Feedback was awful, overall grip in both dry and wet was just adequate, and the sidewalls seemed non-existent at a variety of pressure settings.
