Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

+1 on PSS. Best all around tire with a perfect blend of dry and wet grip, turn in response, longevity, road noise, etc. I'm going to be grabbing my second set in a few days after getting 22,000 miles on my first.

I run Michelin X-Ice on my stock 17" wheels.

I've had very good luck when I have michelins on the car. Much better grip/wear/noise than the factory goodyears.

They're sort of expensive I think, but the Bridgestone Battlax S20 is really nice in the wet. I had Pirelli Diablo Corsas and moved away from them specifically because of their poor performance in the wet.

Michelin is better than Pirelli IMHO. I've had Michelin PSS tires on my Audi and they are great performers.

Tire technology keeps getting better and better, I guess the new Michelin PSS vs the old Pilot Sports is a good example. Better grip + better tire life, who could ask for more?

I've gotten close to 40k out of a set of PSS.

I'm guessing I'll probably be able to get about 25k miles out of my PSS.

It's the stock tire on my Prius. I'd never put it on my other cars by choice, but it seems to suit the Prius just fine. Never had any issues with tracking. Of course the steering feel is terrible, but that's the story with the entire car.

I have Michelin ltx tires now, can't say I'm not a bit disappointed, in snow they SUCK brand new they are worse then my worn BFG 's ..other then that pretty major problem they ride nice and are quiet.
