Tires MICHELIN or OEM Toyota
Just replaced the old ones on my mk7 with the same, I’ve always preferred Michelin Pilot Sport, old ones were 3’s new ones 4’s, bit different tread design but still a quiet highway cruise.
Winter setup is Michelin x-ice.
Just upgraded to some better tires (Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 225 /40 R18 92Y XL BSW). Coming from some Walmart achilles tires.
These tires are really grippy I can launch the car without any spin. Man this thing pulls and I drastically improved my 0-60.
I went with the Michelin Defenders 2 and am so glad I made this decision. Nice smooth quiet ride. Handles bumps and potholes like a champ. Braking is better than stock Toyos.
We replaced the Toyos at 38k miles with 3/32 on them, got Michelin Defender 2s and they’re night and day different
Went with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires which seem quieter to me.
Ich bin ganz zufrieden mit den Crossclimate. Die erkaufen sich ihre lange Haltbarkeit und gute Performance bei Trockenheit aber mit Schwächen bei Nässe.
For street IMO Michillen Piolt Sports cannont be beaten.
I will say after installing diff and subframe bushings, there is a marked difference in cold weather performance on these tires. The car likes to step out a lot more readily. With stock bushings, the difference shouldn't be that exaggerated, but there is a difference in performance on cold Pilots.
My mom’s cross climate 2s have been the loudest and roughing riding tires she has ever experienced on her prius. And I agree with her.
