Michelin's came with my car and I have no complaints about them. They handle well in both dry and wet weather and I like the ride I get from them
i use pilot alpins! arctic alpins were not too sporty...... especially when wet, so i went with pilots. pretty good tyres in my opinion but not the cheapest.
I have Michelin Arctic Alpines on the 2002 Jetta aswell as the Rabbit. Really good tires in my opinion.
I pulled a 2.19 on the stock 195/65-15 Micheline MXV4s.... and I don't I can do better with a few more practice runs.
I don't know about the Dunlops, but my fiance's Protege had a set of Pilot Alpins last winter, and they worked nicely. Dry handling was also very very good. I'm sure they don't give as much grip as a lower-speed rated tire, but they were still very safe and very stable in the snow.
A friend of mine who lives outside of Chelsea, MI has a Saturn SC2 that rides on Pilot Alpins in the winter. He says those tires are pretty darned good and perfect for the kind of snow that falls around Ann Arbor
I've got Michelin Pilot XGT H4s on my 'roc... They're holding up reqally well, they're three years old now and still have lots of tread left on them, they're awesome in the rain too which is a good thing 'cos I live in Raincouver
The car still has the stock Michelin MXV4 Plus 205/55 16H tires. I do not dispute that true snow tires outperform them. These tires suffice for both good and bad weather until one obtains more specialized sets for the seasons one encounters in their area. I plan on getting 17x8 wheels with Kumho 712s for the summer, and going with these for the winter until they wear out. Regardless, 4Mo provides superior safety and handling in any situation.
i have michelin x1 tires and they are excellent....
Well, I had a set of XGT V4 (not on my dub) before they came out with the Pilot XGT V4 and they handled pretty well. But, they were bald in appox. 20k miles. So, I replaced them with the Khumo ECSTA Supra 712's. They were awesome, they handled much better than the XGT's and were much cheaper.
