Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

Michelin—always worth the $$…keeps braking/traction through wear pattern better than any other tire

The Corvette school at NCM Motorsport Park swaps out their Z51s to the AS4 Michelins after the stock PS4s wear out for their fleet. They claim they perform well and my experience in 20 minutes of very spirited lapping they did great, I wasn’t limited by traction issues at all.

Love the tires so far, but can I expect to immediately destroy these on track too? Any possibility of taking it easier and leaving a track day with plenty of tread and not chunked up tires?

I bought 4 Michelin 235-70-16’s for my SUV in 2021. $995.

Michelin Power Cup. I'm very happy with them

I agree with Michelin Defender II (the dealership put them in mine when I bought it, they're great)

I have Michelin Primacy A/S tires on my CX5, and I'm very happy with them. The ride is quiet and comfortable, and they handle really well

I put CC2s on my 17 Corolla. I was worried that it would be overkill, but as someone who has pretty much always cheaped out on tires, the upgrade was unbelievable. I live in Seattle, so we don't get a lot of snow. They handle extremely well in the rain.

My winters aren't too different, and I've had or have all of them: Pilot Alpin, X-Ice Snow, and CC2 (all North American versions). The CC2 were just too floppy and imprecise for me, and that's on a modified daily driver crossover. On a 986 the steering and handling response would be damaged noticeably over Pilot Alpins imo. If you're a fan of feel (and likely traction overall, honestly), get the UHP winters. They're by far my category of choice because of the sporty feel they maintain on performance cars.

Ya, I have Weatherpeaks on my 2013 Avalon. 29,000 miles and they are at 2/32. They have less than 100 miles of gravel use as well. I cannot recommend them.
