Tires MICHELIN or OEM Mazda
Michelin is better than Pirelli IMHO. I've had Michelin PSS tires on my Audi and they are great performers.
Tire technology keeps getting better and better, I guess the new Michelin PSS vs the old Pilot Sports is a good example. Better grip + better tire life, who could ask for more?
I've gotten close to 40k out of a set of PSS.
I'm guessing I'll probably be able to get about 25k miles out of my PSS.
OP said: semi-slick Michelin Sport Cup 2
It's amazing how much better your car feels with good tires.
Replaced the OEM Hankooks with Michelin Premier A/S; much improved wet and dry traction and far less road noise. The Hankooks were crap.
I have had two sets of Michelin Premier A/S on my Passats and I swear by them. They wear extremely well and perform excellent on wet and snow/ice. On both sets, I've gotten well past the tread wear rating.
I'd use Michelin PSS for summer, A/S 3 all-seasons otherwise, so they wouldn't look too mismatched.
from observation running these pilot sports low under 35 psi will create wear on the outter edge of the tire if you have it around 38-37 front and 37-36 rear, your wear will be even
