Tires MICHELIN or Kormoran
I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus tires and found them to be far better than the tires that came from the factory.
replaced factory garbage with Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ at 20k miles, drives much better on them.
I’ve got a 2013 Ford Taurus limited, and I’ve got the crossclimate 2’s on her. Beat tires I’ve ever had. They’re a little expensive, but they’re well worth it. They’re designed to push snow and rain away from your vehicle. Stoping power even in the snow is great.
I have the Michellin Defender LTX. Good grip, but definitely a better tire than my west lakes I had before.
I just traded in those Accords this month for '22 Sport 2.0T's that came stock with Michelin Primacy MXM4. Night and day difference on the road noise and it absolutely gives it a more comfortable ride.
I feel like a broken record with this one, but I highly recommend the Michelin PS4S or PS4AS. They made my accord feel a whole lot more connected to the road, and the All Seasons handle Wisconsin winters just fine.
If you can afford it, Michelin is worth it in the long run. They’re the only tire I know that lasts longer than the warranty period based on Consumer Reports.
I was going to replace with the same tire but decided to try the Michelin AS4. I would observe the following :
Dry grip - Michelin is better feel and grip around corners
Wet grip - not scientific but think the DWS is marginally better
Road feel / noise / ride quality - I like the Michelins slightly better
I’d be wary of those defenders, I’ve had a good bit of customers come back with some discomfort and road noise from those tires.
I swear by myselfthat those tires SUCK!!! Consider that they came stock on my gsr wen it was stock and torqueless and well come rain, come slipping on a normal turn with a car that didn't produce any torque below 5k rpms as opposed to a gti below 2k rpm..
