I just did exactly what you're doing -- exact same tires -- and found the Continental every bit as good as the Michelin, so I went with Continental, only in 255s in my case. Anyway, I'm really happy with my Continentals and glad I made that choice. Considering the stiffer ride that comes with wider tires the 18 Continentals proved a good choice. The handling is way better; love it.
Ford parts reviews
I LOVE the Indy 500’s. They grip the road extremely well even in rain. It’s the only tire I put on my Mustang, past and present.
I have had a few cars with continental extreme contacts and loved them. I have a 23 Mach 1 that came with Pilot 4S tires, they are simply amazing. They grip the road like glue and there is zero chatter when cornering hard. I would definitely go with the 4S.
I put Michelin cross climate 2’s on. Love them. Great grip in all seasons. I also don’t hydroplane anymore. And they have a high mile warranty.
After I swapped to a K&N drop-in filter and a lighter cat-back exhaust (the one I had was lighter than the stock), I was getting around 22-24 MPG with my EcoBoost.
I put Nitto Motivos on my 15 limited and they feel great. Nice grip
Back when I was in college (2001) there was a guy in my class who tested tires in a lab. This was around the time Ford SUV's would flip over, thanks Firestone. He said he would test tires at high speed, different weighs, and tire pressures to test longevity. I asked him which tires were best. He said he couldn't tell me because of confidentiality laws. I asked him which tires he puts on his wife's minivan, and he said he would *only* put Michelin tires on his wife's car.
I had them for a while, they lasted longer than i expected, and theyre decent for a daily driver, but the performance lacks alot.
Love nittos on my other truck, but for the raptor theyre terrible, horrible in rain, loud, and heavy as a mf.
That’s probably the number 1 thing I research when I buy tires now, I hate the loud hum some tires get as they wear. I’ve had two sets of Kumhos and I won’t be buying a third.
