Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

Our Kia did not come with a spare but with the fix-a-flat can and air compressor. This is the main reason I went with Bridgestone DriveGuards on the new wheels.

I plan on running 235/45R17 Michelin Alpin PA4 on an OEM set of Audi wheels for the winter setup.

My wife's Jeep is running BJ's Michelin tires. Been on for two years and still work/look great.

I recently bought a set of the "discount" special deal Michelin tires for the wife's car and the part number and SKU were identical to the ones I could buy at Discount Tire, Tire Rack, Firestone, or any other tire installer.

I have purchased 2 complete sets of bridgestone RE-11's from Costco and 3 complete sets of Michelin Pilot Super Sports. If they are using inferior tires I have no idea how orgasmtastic real Super Sports would be because they are hands down the best street tires I've ever had.

I have a set of Pilot Sport A/S 3s from Costco and have detected no cost cutting. They are awesome.

I couldn't stand the Contisport 5P runflat tyres and got rid of them with 4mm of tread on them. I got Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s and I can really recommend them. Before I fitted them I tried a simple brake tests from 70mph and then again(same weather conditions) after I fitted the tyres and they had covered a few hundred miles and the car stopped between 30 and 40ft quicker each time. The ABS hardly if at all kick in. As for cornering, well you can guess I'm impressed with them. Okay they only come with 5mm of tread but they are worth it. To give you an idea how good they are, they have more grip in the wet (very wet) than the Conti tyres had in the dry.

Stick with Michelin. They are the best.

I have the RSe05 (17x8) with Bridgestone Potenza RE-11A 235/45R17 and I noticed I have slight chunking of the blocks on the outer shoulder after one heavy track weekend at Barber Motorsports Park.

I have the Bridgestone Potenza's that came with my car. I complained about road noise at 5000 miles and VW said "all the GTI's are like that". Then it got louder. So now the car has 16,000 miles on it. It sounds like a 747 is approaching the runway. I will NEVER purchase a Bridgestone product in the future. Anyone else have issues with the Bridgestone Potenza
