i have michelin x1 tires and they are excellent....
Well, I had a set of XGT V4 (not on my dub) before they came out with the Pilot XGT V4 and they handled pretty well. But, they were bald in appox. 20k miles. So, I replaced them with the Khumo ECSTA Supra 712's. They were awesome, they handled much better than the XGT's and were much cheaper.
I had the same question and just checked mine. From the dealership I had appx 42 PSI front and 44 PSI rear (cold). As this didn't match the gas door recommendations. I called the dealer's (Chapman, Scottsdale AZ) service department. The front desk finally transferred me to the tire shop (note Chapman also sells BMW and Dodge) the helpful technician listened to my specifications and question and responded that he recommends 38 PSI front and rear in Phoenix. For all vehicles with similar low profile tires.He was very specific about location (asked me if I lived here in town). I'm guessing that's due to our good old dry heat here. Anyhow that's what I set mine to. regards, Ken
I drove last winter on the Michelin Arctic Alpins, including into ski areas, etc and they were just great.
I have had both the Michelin Pilot Alpins and Artic Alpins. I prefer the Pilot Alpins because they don't have the incessant whine and tread squirm. The Pilots seem almost as good in all winter conditions except shear ice (fewer sipes).
Mine's not a 4mo but I've really enjoyed the Michelin Arctic Alpin - bought a set in 195/65/15 on stock steelies - they're ugly compared to the alloys but they got me through the worst (and I mean WORST) New Jersey has to offer.
