Tires MICHELIN or SUMITOMO
I did get a new set of Michelin tires last year. I couldn’t stand the stock Pirelli.
I have Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons and they're a great tire.
Michelin AS4 is the best all season tire money can buy. The Michelins are worth the premium IMO. The cost difference isn’t that big when you spread it out over the expected lifespan of the tire.
I got about 30k miles on sumitomos 285/75/16 snow rated, AT. They’ve been solid
I recently went with Pilot Sport 4 AS and they are better, id say impressively GREAT. From my experience, the PS4 AS handle noticeably better in dry hot weather. Almost so well i wouldnt mind leaving them on year round. Where the DWS06+ fell short was where the PS4 surprised me, dry weather. In the wet, they were similar for me and i didnt notice a big difference. I was doing timed trial runs and my times were always within about 1 second of each other on both sets on a road ive been driving for years. Imo, best of the two is the PS4 AS, but youre paying more for marginally better tire, and thats also subjective.
I got sumitomo on mine. Quite. Great on all things wet including light snow.
I went to Michelin Cross Climate 2 on our SUV and love not having to change them seasonally. They are great tires! I wish my other vehicle didn't have newer tires on it! Never again will I be swapping tires when there's a great year round alternative.
They're Michelins, they'll be fine.
I think my defenders only have 65k - but they were considerably less expensive.
I've burned through two sets of front ps4s, each set lasted two track days in a Porsche 718 Spyder. These were my first two track weekends ever, so I am a novice (likely overdriving the tires).
