I recently bought a set of the "discount" special deal Michelin tires for the wife's car and the part number and SKU were identical to the ones I could buy at Discount Tire, Tire Rack, Firestone, or any other tire installer.
I have a set of Pilot Sport A/S 3s from Costco and have detected no cost cutting. They are awesome.
I couldn't stand the Contisport 5P runflat tyres and got rid of them with 4mm of tread on them. I got Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s and I can really recommend them. Before I fitted them I tried a simple brake tests from 70mph and then again(same weather conditions) after I fitted the tyres and they had covered a few hundred miles and the car stopped between 30 and 40ft quicker each time. The ABS hardly if at all kick in. As for cornering, well you can guess I'm impressed with them. Okay they only come with 5mm of tread but they are worth it. To give you an idea how good they are, they have more grip in the wet (very wet) than the Conti tyres had in the dry.
I have Nankang Toursport 611's and they work brilliant in the dry and acceptable in the wet And w/ a 500 tread wear rating, they have like a 50,000 mile warranty.
Stick with Michelin. They are the best.
I have gunmetal colored Nuespeed RSe07 18\" w/ Michelin PSS on my blue R & love them. Excellent steering feel, responsive, suspension feels very happy w/ the new shoes
ive ONLY been using nankang since i started operating VWs since 2003. +taken up to 120mph multiple times no problem +they stretch good; i used them on 9.5\" +at around $55/tire you cant go wrong for daily use
Currently running Michelin Defenders and am very pleased.
The Michelins I have on my Truck are LRR. They ride better, handle better and steer better than the previous Dunlops. Fuel Economy has been exactly the same, terrible.
I got a set on some wheels I traded. I think NS7000 is on the sidewall. They are alright, they are round and black. I haven't had a flat and I go into the uber crappy Boston roads all the time, no bubbles no tread defects. They are just run of the mill budget tires. Would I get them again? Probably not. Can I find anything to complain about? Not really.
