Tires MICHELIN or NITTO
Had some S3 Evo, for 65000kms (2 sets) and really happy about them ! Very quiet (nothing to compare with the stock Michelin), very good handling on dry and wet roads.
40k+ miles on the evo’s. They have been great, and they were a few decibels quieter than the factory Michelins.
I’ve posted this several times. I bought a set of rims that had used Nitto Grappler A/T tires on them. I got 50k before the wife run over something and cut one. I bought a new set and am at 80k plus now. Expecting many more.
I like Michelin defenders. Quiet, good road pattern, excellent grip on snow and ice
Yeah, I got tired of this happening. Went to Michelin's, and I find them to be much better.
In my opinion, they are the perfect tyre for all of the UK.
Replaced the OG Michelin all season tires around 46,000 miles.
Not an apples to apples comparison per se, but we have a set of Michelin Defender LTXs on our '24 Sierra. Absolutely love them due to low noise, good comfort, great handling in dry/wet/light snow. Like them so much, had them switched over from our previous Silverado as we did not want the OEM Dunlops. No regrets.
I switched from Road 4 to Road 6. I used both tires for around 2 years and 25,000 km, and went back to Road 4 (I wasn’t looking for Road 4, it was in stock and around %30 cheaper). In my experience, the cold grip on Road 4 is much better, and even after they heat up, Road 4 still feels like it has better grip. Additionally, I noticed that the bike pulled slightly to the left with Road 6.
The Michelins that came with the 18s and the pro contacts with the 19s were some of the worst handling tires I’ve owned especially in the rain. I’ve never hydroplaned as much as on those tires on any of my previous cars. I wouldn’t want anybody I care about or myself driving on those in the rain. But if it doesn’t rain where you live, they’re pretty nice thanks to the foam.
