Tires MICHELIN or Triangle
18x8 Neuspeed RSe52 with Michelin AS3's in 235/40 ZR18 on stock suspension. I'm debating VWR springs, but don't want to ruin the DCC.
I have the Michelin Premiers and they're a great tire. I have 70+ k miles on mine with 5mm tread left. They're excellent in rain (even now) and snow.
I'd definitely recommend paying the little extra for the Michelins.
Personally I will probably never own a tire that isnt michelin again. Their tires are of higher quality and better compound than the rest in my experience.
I plan on running 235/45R17 Michelin Alpin PA4 on an OEM set of Audi wheels for the winter setup.
My wife's Jeep is running BJ's Michelin tires. Been on for two years and still work/look great.
I recently bought a set of the "discount" special deal Michelin tires for the wife's car and the part number and SKU were identical to the ones I could buy at Discount Tire, Tire Rack, Firestone, or any other tire installer.
I have a set of Pilot Sport A/S 3s from Costco and have detected no cost cutting. They are awesome.
I couldn't stand the Contisport 5P runflat tyres and got rid of them with 4mm of tread on them. I got Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s and I can really recommend them. Before I fitted them I tried a simple brake tests from 70mph and then again(same weather conditions) after I fitted the tyres and they had covered a few hundred miles and the car stopped between 30 and 40ft quicker each time. The ABS hardly if at all kick in. As for cornering, well you can guess I'm impressed with them. Okay they only come with 5mm of tread but they are worth it. To give you an idea how good they are, they have more grip in the wet (very wet) than the Conti tyres had in the dry.
I run Michelin XLT 'all-seaon mud and snow' tires, which are great in rain and ok in light snow, but frankly in real winter-y conditions are not good enough.
