I had Pirelli tires on my car when I first bought it.. Some new all weather performance tires and let’s just say it was quite scary if there was even a little water on the road. I bought Michelin Pilot Super Sport A/S tires and they have been absolutely fantastic. Rain, shine, or snow the grip levels are very high, blow Pirelli out of the water. There have been instances in the snow when I feel the Michelin tires have saved my life. With the Pirellis, I would not even consider taking the car out in the snow. I drive a Mustang GT.
I have never been disappointed with Michelin tires. Ever.
Over the last 20 years I\u2019ve liked Michelin the most for normal daily driving, they tend to be pricier than comparable brands but when you factor in balance, noise, traction, and wear I\u2019d say I prefer them.
Michelin is the only tire i've ever seen almost basically take no weight on our wheel balancer (assuming a perfectly straight wheel), even without match-mount. Speaks volumes to their manufacturing processes and quality control.
Michelin is the only brand I'm always completely happy with...Midrange and up tires from other brands like Bridgestone (Potenza 750 and similar) and BFG (G-Force Sport)...have been okay but there always end up being some characteristics that make me wish I'd spent the extra $100 on some Michelins, like getting really noisy after a year, not working well in the rain and slush, not balancing absolutely perfectly, weird resonant noises at various speeds, etc.
Ran the Xi3's this past winter when I was traveling 200 miles every 8 weeks, with the same trip most weekends. Tires ran quiet on highway, stable performance in wet or dry. We saw some ice and it gripped as if it was wet. No complaints
Tires Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 225/45ZR17 94/y.
Fairly quiet tires, grip is good, and they've never left me wanting.
I'm running 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires on my stock 18" Laguna wheels on my Mk6.
NVH is similar to the stock tires, but they have way more grip.
Michellin Pilot A/S3+ 235/45/17
Potholes have nothing on me. Great grip in rain and dry. Cabin is a lot quieter than when I have Continental A/S.
This is typical of a 4 year old Michelin though..
