Tires MICHELIN or BFGoodrich

2 years ago I got Michelin X-ice 3’s (in a 17”) on my car, steelies from Costco, installed, and TPMS sensors for right about 1100 bucks (in the GTA).

I spent a good deal of time researching and went with the Michelin Defender LTX m/s tires to replace them. Expensive but fairly meaty, good ride quality and cornering, great in the rain, can't speak for snow. Expesive but worth it so far.

The Michelin s have tough carcases compared to other Chinese shity tires. Anyway, I would definitly recommend you install a known brand. I started with cheap tires but switched fast to Michelin s.

Micheline's are worth the expense, had cheap ones and I was like Bambi on ice, they could save your life,don't scrimp

America's Tire gave me 40% off a new set, so I opted for the CrossClimate+, which cost me $524 out the door.

Drove about 10 miles on them after pickup and it’s night/day difference from the MXM4s that it came with. They seemed quieter although I didn’t get on the highway. Handling is like a different car. Not that it wasn’t good before, but it’s easy to see why everyone raves about these tires.

I bought Michelin X-Ice the year Consumer Reports rated them highest for winter passenger car tires. I got 4 of them. They were right around $1,000.00 for the set. I have great traction with them on winter roads but to be honest, I never tried driving on snow packed freeways with the all season tires. I got the winter tires the first time it snowed on the highways.

Installed my BEC Golf R headlights with the Morimoto HID kit...Also sourced some OEM Alltrack Canyons, and installed them with new Michelin Pilot Sport AS3s in OEM sizes. The difference in ride quality is stark, with the Michelins soaking up road imperfections much better than the OEM Falkens.

I run the PA4's in stock 18\" size and they do fine down here in southwest ohio. If I was further north and typically got more snowfall I'd probably have gone with a more straight up snow tire opposed to a performance snow tire.

Honestly, the Michelins are generally more recommended here over the Conti's... and after 35k on my 99, the best thing I ever did was get rid of the frickin Michelins, and replaced 'em with Bridgestone Potenza's... SOOOO much better wet traction
