Tires MICHELIN or Shinko
I have these uncommon/hard-to-find Michelin summer tires (made in Germany - they are normally for the base 15" wheel on Minis) on my Yaris and it's legitimately fun. It's like a grand-touring summer, not a full-fledged high-performance tire. The main thing I was after was better braking compared to the rock-hard LRR tires that came on it.
I'm now running Michelin Power Cup TLRs for my road setup (similar to GP5000s) and I beat my fastest commute, my fastest long descent, and my fastest loop with hills handily. Before that I was running heavy commuter slicks.
Best tires I’ve ever owned for all weather
I’ve run several sets of PS4S on different cars and have my first set of DWS06 on my GTi, and I will say that they are very impressive so far. I’d say they give 85-90% of the performance of a PS4S
My 255/35R19 Michelin PS AS4s are pretty good, but I can tell a significant difference in traction between the AS4s and the S005s that came stock. Could also be that the 255s are pinched on the stock 19x8 wheels. This said, I think I can recommend them
Just got a set of these on (with 18x8 +45 wheels). Less road noise and a much smoother ride over the bumps. Highly recommend.
Our first change from the OEM tires was to the Michelin CrossClimate 2 - so far, 2 years and 30ish thousand miles with plenty of tread remaining
I have Michelin Cross Climate 2’s on my 2019. They are a great tire.
both my AS3+ and AS4’s did indeed make a distinct road noise. None with the Conti’s.
I would stay away from the Pilot Sport A/S 3+. I put a pair on the back of my 15 E550 Coup. 4,000 miles and they were bald.
