Tires MICHELIN or VITOUR
I have Michelin cross climate 2's. Been about 3, maybe almost 4yrs now. About 35k miles put on them. Maybe a bit more? Threads are still pretty good.
If you only do pavement the michelins are by far the best quiet and smooth. Also do great in snow an water.
Running them on my VW. 245/40/17. 2 autox and a track day and just worn off the sword fish in the tread.
Michelin Pro Sport Tires! Hands down
I had stock pirellis on my S4 (yeah I realize this is a Porsche sub). Switched to Michelin PS4s and never went back. Very noticeable difference in quality, grip, performance, quietness, and smoothness. They lasted a bit longer than the Pirellis too.
4S’s were game changing.
Depends on what you want and what you value, but I put Michelin’s on all of my cars. The ride is better, the handling is better, and they typically wear better.
I’m not sure if they make them in the correct size for the car but the oem star marked ps4s made for bmw are more aggressive and contain a rubber compound more similar to the cup 2s. Tyre reviews compared the regular ps4s to the star marked and raved about them compared to the regular tires.
I've used them on track when I was starting out. 3350 lb awd 350 hp car. Chunking on sides. Not a track tire obviously but a great do-it-all.
I have this issue with Michelin Defender tires. Brand new set. Rebalanced 4 times at 3 different shops and an alignment and just feel so unsteady on them. Also feel like I notice every imperfection in the road.
