Tires MICHELIN or Sailun
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.
My 4runner came with new Sailun Terramax HLT tires. Went 4 wheeling with them twice so far and a couple 1000+ mile road trips... so far so good. They're quiet on road and didn't get me stuck in the desert off road.
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.
I daily Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my Focus SVT. They are so worth it. Yeah they wear out after 10-12k miles but they have like a 30k or 40k mile warranty so I get a new set of PSS's every year for like $150.
You can drive them in the rain like it isn't raining at all.
Sport Cup 2's are great tires, I have them on my RS. If I could do-over though, i would go with PS4S. Sure, they "technically" aren't as fast around a track, but for the 99.9% of street miles you put on them they are much more livable on a daily driver.
In trying to cure my vibration issue, I put on TOTL Michelin MXM4 Primacy's. They have been ok...actually, they've been somewhat of a disappointment...mostly because they're so much more expensive than other rubber. You sorta expect amazing results. They're pretty good but not any quieter than the old Conti's. They're really loud on sharp impacts (expansion joints, etc.) and seem to be very sensitive to different road surfaces. Other than that, they're good tires...just not for the price you pay.
