This is my review of the Michelin Hydroedge tires. For those who have small SUVs, vans and mid/full-size cars this review might be helpful if you are seeking new tires for the family vehicle. They are all-season tires that ride soft, offer a long life-span, safe handling in adverse conditions and emit low road noise. The best thing about these tires besides the longevity is the rainy weather handling. Don't ask how I know...but these REFUSE to hydroplane in even several inch deep water going 40-50mph. You have almost as total control in very wet conditions as you do in dry conditions.
Unfortunately, just the stock Michelin A/S 255-width ones.
The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s are the most fantastic tires I've ever had on any car. I love them, and will gladly put forth the cash for another set when they finally wear out someday.
When i bought my GTI 1.8T it came with the Nexen n3000 and personally i liked them the road handling was quite good and they seem to handle well in the wet also. The tread lasted me quite long and id say for about 14000 miles and they still had 6-7/32 tread left when i sold them. Honestly i am thinking of buying them again!
I put on the nexens yesterday and they seem to handle well. There is hardly any road noise on the highway and for the price i can't complain.........
I run 245/40/17 Michelin Pilot sport cups on 17x8" Et 35 rims with stock springs -> no rubbing
Just installed new tires on our Phaeton. The old Michelins were actually dangerous. For reference, I'm not talking about driving through giant puddles at high speed; every time this happened we were on the freeway. So -- I researched everything out there and settled on the Michelin® Pilot Sport A/S (255/45R18). All I can say is... WOW!!! What a huge difference in performance; the car turns in much better and grips like crazy. These tires should be standard on this car! This tire seems to improve on the factory tire in every area of performance, and is supposed to be superb in the wet as well.
Luckily Bridgestone has a 30-day test drive program where if you're not happy with the tires for any reason, you can return them for a full refund. I walked into Curry's, told them I didn't like Potenzas and walked out with a set of Michelin MXV$ Plus tires.
Don't know about the Toyos but the PS2'S are great. They handle excellent in the rain and in the dry. High Speed stability is excellent as well.
Yes, they'll start talking when you reach their limits of adhesion. Not as loudly as the F1s, but at pretty much the same point (just as they're starting to let go--which seems to be fairly gradual and predictable).
