Tires MICHELIN or SUMITOMO
great, they haven’t exploded in me at high speeds yet ????
Best tire in my opinion for daily driving before going to a 200 thread wear tire.
Very good in the rain, noise is as expected but not super loud, and very grippy when they’re hot. They stiffen up in cold weather.
Looks like Cup2 240s are available in the 225 size. Never used them but I'm a massive fan of the normal Cup2 on my 911.
If these tires are any good they are an incredible bargain.
For conditions like you’ll see in Ohio, I would not run these all year round. I think that’s too risky. If you want a single tire for all weather, get the Michelin Cross Climate 2.
I will cast my vote for the Michelin PS4S. I had a manufacturing defect on a set of Michelin's on my NSX. Upon my return they replaced all 4 tyres as the tread pattern had changed.
I had sumitomo ASPO3 on my Honda Accord and they were honestly really good tires The asymmetrical tread pattern did very well in the wet and light to moderate snow, I would purchase them again.
Yep. Mine went down too. Seems like 5 to 10%. But I love the tires. Very quiet. Do great in rain and snow.
I replaced my stock Toyo 19’s last spring with Michelin defender’s. Much more comfortable, but I find that the car doesn’t handle as well (doesn’t feel as responsive), which is what attracted me to the car when I bought it.
I’ve had these for about 18 months / 15K miles on my 18’ AWD LX and I can’t say I’m a fan. Although they are amazing in the rain. I ironically wish for rain sometimes for longer trips because they drive SO much better on wet pavement compared to dry.
- The road noise is ridiculous on an AWD model.
- They’re wearing very fast for tires with only 15K.
- Drop in fuel efficiency once installed (~2MPG drop).
- Rocks, twigs, and everything else you can imagine get stuck in the grooves and can lead to a rough ride.
