Owner reviews for tires

You got the good ones Michelin Pilot Sports. They don’t have much tread life, but they stick to the road like glue. Enjoyed them on my BMW with all seasons and the 4S ultra performance versions.

Duratracs look & perform well

The stones have been a cheater tire for me in a sense that they communicate so well, they handle abuse of inputs, when they give up grip, they’re very gradual and you feel a slide coming. And when you do lose traction, the slide is controllable to get back into grip. There’s a reason they’re at the spear tip of auto cross.

I\u2019ve run studded Nokians exclusively now for years. Never going back. What you give up in dry traction you more that make up for on those super hard packed icy days. Especially if you\u2019re running on the highways frequently.

Got 45k from my last set. Pilot Sport Michelins. Highly recommend this tire. I also don’t go easy on them.

If it's a car you often drive and would rarely autox it or so a rare track day the ECS 02 is a good choice better than say a PS4S for dry performance and not getting torn apart.

Just got these Pirelli Cinturato Weatheractives mounted onto my Jetta GLI. Makes a whole world of difference between the Stock Hankook Kinergy GTs and the shitty Yokohama YK-GTXs that I had before

I also have the Defender 2 though I didn't quite make as deliberate a choice. I jumped a curve in a parking lot and did sidewall damage (some metal bit on a storm drain) to my stock tires, and I had the car towed to Discount Tire and the Defender 2 was the only good option in stock at the time.

I don't know the full story but a local Golf R owner is dealing with DSG issues with his tuned MK8R right now. Dealer thinks it needs a new mechatronics unit or a completely new DSG.

I had Hankook on my Volvo SUV years ago and they were absolute shit. They cupped after about 6000 miles. Hankook replaced them for free.
