My Bridgestone's lasted about 38k miles. I thought the ride was bad. I put on Michelin Defenders at Sam's Club. I have about 77k on the Routan now; 39k miles on them. They are about half life. The ride is great. Very smooth compared to the Bridgestones.
I finally swapped in Pilot Sports. Much better riding car w/o the runflats.
I run a set of OZ Ultraleggera's which had Michelin PS2's , I just switched to RE-11's. Both of these tires are great, the RE-11 has a stiffer sidewall which effects a little grip but they hold there own for sure. The PS'2 had a better warning when at its limit and still had a little more.
Talk to Tire Rack and/or read all their test reports, and the only tire that is outstanding for your objective, and for DD road use, is the Michelin Pilot Super Sport, or the Bridgestone RE-11.
Try Michelin mxv4.
I would recommend Michelin and BFGoodrich. I've had good experiences at Americas Tire Co, friendly and knowledgeable staff.
I switched out my Hankook V4's to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3...eliminated 75% of my wheelspin off the line (I should note that I have APR Stage I on the vehicle)...essentially has made reconsider getting the dogbone mount upgraded on the EOS. I've had the stock Conti's, Pirelli P4's, and the last set of Hankook's on...A/S3's blow them out of the water for grip.
Michelin x-ice 3. Great tires. My fwd Nissan never got stuck this winter, and trust me, Alberta winters are brutal. (I'm talking like a foot of snow on the road) it was good on ice too, this combined with ABS, made slippery surfaces manageable.
So,I think the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 is the best winter tire for drivers who travel regularly on snow-packed or icy pavement. The Xi3 rides quietly and comfortably, and owners find it extremely durable. In professional tests, it gets top marks for handling.
It is an EXTREMELY common problem on Mk4's to show cupping on inside of rear tires even with everything at spec. After you rotate them, the \"good front\" tires on rear will then begin cupping also, and the noise problem will increase as they wear more... the rears will \"sing\" with the cupped fronts (formerly on rear) and you can get some pretty loud droning at low speeds, only becoming less noticable at high speeds.
