Tires MICHELIN or LANDSAIL
This year has been crazy, I’m into three sets of Michelins 2xPS4S on the 981 and 911 plus a set of PSS on the BMW
Selling the SS was a god send for this. It ate a set of PS4S's every 3 months. 16 tires went to it every year, then the Lotus took a set, so before the E38, that was 20 tires a year.
+1 for Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Had the Cup 2’s on my PP2 (305 front and rear), they lasted 7,500 miles, lots of grip but no grip when cold or damp. Switched to PS4’s currently with 21,000 miles, and probably another ~10,000 left in them. Much better all weather performance, and they had ~90% of the grip of the Cup 2’s. Also added benefit of a slightly softer ride due to a softer sidewall.
Have an SL5 and upgraded to Zipp 303 firecrest just because it was such a good deal, $1,400 delivered. I went with Michelin Power Road and very happy
If you don’t do a lot of spirited driving the Michelin Cross Climate 2 have served me and I live in NJ. They are quiet and track really nice. Plus the 60,000 mile warranty is a plus. They come in both H & V ratings. I run them on my 2009 2 Door Rabbit S.
I have the Michelins AS3's on my 18 Jetta SEL and of course I'm down south, but they are like chewing gum, very sticky...I'm impressed so far...
Love Michelins. I will replace the 18"Pirellis with Michelins when they wear out on my mk7 gti.
After the first commute in the rain with the factory all seasons, I purchased a set of Michelin PSAS4. These have done remarkably well here in North Texas. I can highly recommend them. Recently I had my first “panic” stop and they were great. The only thing I won’t take them on is ice (which we get here) but a set of studded tires are a bit overkill here, and probably not legal, so I didn’t drive on the ice.
I've moved on to other tires but I can't help but remember all the times I heard the lie "Michelin is discontinuing the Energy Saver A/S"!
I swear, this is the worst tire I have ever encountered in my entire life. Sure it rides smooth and soft, and makes almost no noise whatsoever, but is SUCKS as a tire! The tire gives up traction all the time. It totally destroys my confidence when driving my 2003 GTI 1.8T Sport.
