Bit late but wanted to share my experience after having to get new tyres after a puncture a few weeks ago. I usually go for the cheap tyres, Achilles which were around $180AUD each. I couldn't find anyone supplying Achilles tyres in my rim size so I decided I'm going to try something a bit more expensive and replace all with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 which cost me $500AUD each. They are amazing tyres. They are so much more quieter, more responsive in corners (can take corners faster and sharper) and the ride is so nice. Even accelerating has less lag and more grip. It feels like a completely different car.
Michelins. Expensive but the best set of tires you'll ever drive on.
They are the most quietest well balanced and slow wearing tires (as long as your on pavement) I think I've ever had. They handle like a dream.
After much searching, I replaced my worn tires with the original MXM4. Pricey yes, but they are excellent tires and worth the extra dollars for the extra range (independently verified).
I have had the old pilot sports and the new pilots … only regret is they never break traction . Absolutely the best tires in the market .
Michelin's X-ice's are pretty competitive.
I had Pilot sport as3 a few years back but got as4 when I got my new wheels and they’re good. They’re able to keep the power down, some wheel spin in second, with my new build that makes 655 to the wheels.
I’ve had both on my 2016. The biggest difference I noticed immediately after switching from the dws06 to the pilot sports is the road noise. The Michelin’s are much quieter and overall have been the best tires I’ve ever owned.
The Pilot Sport Cup 2's had great grip but are VERY expensive and had a strong tendency to tramline - do not reccommend for the street unless you track the car. The Pilot Sport 4s have better manners on the street in the OEM sizes (305/30R19 & 315/30R19) and are less expensive than the Cup 2's.
I just got them on my civic lx and it good and all but I swear they are hella sensitive, any slight movement of the steering wheel and my car is swerving left or right, unlike my old tires which were old but I wouldn't be swerving. Like when I try to change lanes on highways it swerves and lifts a bit on the back. Anyone know why?
