I got new tires at about 35k miles because those were trash. Got Michelin defenders. 20k miles on them and still look like brand new tread.
Noticable noise and handling difference after I switched them to Prirelli Cinturato P7 A/S+.
The winter tires - Michelins - got about 10k put on them.
Here are OEM Conti 5p and Michelin P4S in 235/35/19 mounted on VMR 710FF 19x8.5 et45. OEM Conti’s are a little stretched. But not bad. I ran the wheels that way for two summers before installing the Michelins. The Michelins run a little wider so they are squared off more.
Went with Michelin Latitude X-ice in stock 18\" size, on Sport Edition F5 wheels. Package from Tire Rack - they come mounted and balanced at not charge, and Michelin had a $70 rebate on 4 tires. Wish we'd had more snow this year! In the little we had they worked very well.
I have Michelin Super Sports on one of my cars and Continental GXs on my other, faster car, and I vastly prefer the Michelins.
Went with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S! They are great tires though.
I run Nitto 555 G2's during all but winter, and this year I went with Pilot Sport A/S3+ all-seasons (due to frequent driving in mild snow during work trips) and I'm quite happy with them.
30K miles on my A/S3's on the Mini. They still grip reasonably well in the dry; the wet is iffy. While there is still treadlife left, the tire howl has becoming bad. They were nearly silent when new.
I have the Michelin on my mk6 Golf R. I absolutely HATE them. Noisy when new an produce a vibration/buzzing sound that is maddening at highway speeds. The wear is so/so, but they are getting noisier with wear. Never again.
