Tires MICHELIN or TIGAR
The Michelin Crossclimate 2's are about the best passenger tire available right now, it's what I have on our Odyssey.
In Florida, have had Michelin Defender 2 on last two Odysseys. They are rated to go 95,000 miles. So they may cost a little more up front, but a good value over time.
I've always used Michelin Defenders for heavier vehicles like vans. They may be slightly noisier, but they last *forever*.
really like the Michelin Crossclimate2. They look a bit funky. Excellent in wet weather. Far better than the factory tires.
I bought crossclimate 2 and received over 3 feet of snow a week later.
Literally no issues at all in the snow and ice. Fantastic tire.
We have michelin defenders and are happy. Live in southern california so not a lot of rain but they seem to perform fine when it does.
I've been able to survive these the last decade with a RWD car on Michelin X-Ice Snow tires, so I bought a set for the GRC also. And they don't completely suck when the ground isn't snowy or icy.
I now have the Michelin Energy xm2+ on a corolla. It's a good economy tyre, focusing on low rolling resistance and longevity. The Michelin is a bit quieter, but fuel consumption went up a little (0.2-0.3l/100km) on my Hybrid Corolla.
I track my G82 M4 with the stock PS4Ss for a few sessions when I first started. They are find for beginners and arguably better for learning. If you’re not pushing hard, I’ve seen them last a whole season or only two to three events if you’re actually driving to the limit. The biggest thing to watch out for is the lack of camber. The stock car provides about 2.5 degrees of front camber which will cord the outer shoulders should while leaving most of the tire relatively healthy.
I bought a set of Michelins for my F250 several years ago because they were the “best”. The truck had a vibration after the new tires were installed but since they were Michelins I didn’t even think it was a tire issue. All four tires were out of round. ALL FOUR.
