I drove on a set of Michelin X-Ice 3s during my time in Detroit. We didn’t get tons of snow, but plenty of ice and they held up well.
Same for tires. Michelins are the premium tires to buy. Bfgoodrich is great not as good but made by Michelin. Uniroyal (which makes tiger paws that some people loathe) is a cheap tire made by Michelin.
I took advantage of the 4th of July sales and ditched the stock Pirellis for Michelin Sport 4S because I’m going for a road trip along Big Sur and through the Redwoods (Hated the Pirellis).
I have Ecopias as OEM rolling @ 99. My winters (GTA) are Michelin X-Ice Xi3 99T @ 215-65-17.
I have a focus St with Michelin pilot super sports. While the compound sucks when it hits freezing temps, I've had no issues getting around, unless it's super icy.
I haven't been able to gloat anywhere, but I just nabbed a pair of PS4Ss for 149/ea. They really are incredible tires
On the two Hondas I leased, all I did other than oil changes was switch out the tires on my Accord coupe V6/6-speed after one got punctured. I wanted to do it anyway; the stock tires sucked, and the one thing the car did great was accelerate, so I put a set of Michelin Super Sports on it. It stopped acting like I was waterboarding it with high-RPM shifts into 2nd after that.
Just had a set of 225/40R18 Pilot Sport 4s tires mounted on my summer wheels -- saved $150. :beer: Great service at my local Tire Center. Guys were nice and knew their stuff. They also used a $16,000 Coats APX90E tire changer, which was a nice bonus and didn't leave a scratch anywhere.
Buy the cleanest one with the least deferred maintenance, oh and Michelins, you can't go wrong buying a car with Michelins on it.
Now have Uniroyal Tigerpaws. A bit of hum but nothing that was too dramtic.
