Tires MICHELIN or Continental

I have been running the Michelin tires for years. Long ago I drove on the set of Michelins till the steel belts were coming out the sides, may pop style. They never did go flat and friends would joke about getting behind me at night. That they could tell it was me because there were sparks coming from the tires. Replaced a set on a Sport Trac I had on since 2002 a couple years ago. They still had tread, it was just that dry rot settled in around the rims. Was cracked so bad that I could put my fingers into the cracks. Wife pestered me so bad that I had to replace them.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S2. Top notch whether towing or prowling the town. Tough, quiet, very smooth ride. Due to lighter weight, one to two mpg more than OEM Hanook crapola.

Actually pretty good on snow.

Just picked these up a set of these same speck as yours for my MK7.5 GTI I had to run a 5mm rear spacers to avoid rubbing on the rear OEM shocks and passenger gas filler neck and wheel liner with Michelin PS4S tires 245/40/18 square set. Fronts fit okay wider fenders might help.

I have over 10k (km) on a michelin pilot road 5 and it can finish this season with it. Definitely getting another one next year. Great tiers

We live in KY and my daughter drives a Kia Soul. She was getting stuck in the smallest amounts of snow. We put these tires on her car because she was moving to Colorado and we hoped for the best. Her car goes like a tank there now. She has been through 2 winters and no issues with these tires. She lives in a ski town and it seems like it is always snowing there. She drives a lot for her job and I couldn't be happier with these tires. I have driven this car across the country with these tires, they are very quiet and grip the road great.

I’m using this as my daily and it sees no track time, so I like to keep it fun, while also not making my wallet cry. DCC: 2 right from comfort Drivetrain: Eco Engine sound: Sport ACC: Eco Steering: Sport

Michelin City Grip 2 100/80r16

I use Gatorskin clincher on my commuter bike. They are very durable, with little wear marks after 2 years of use. But they aren’t light and fast like GP5000s. If you are a roadie, then I wouldn’t recommend Gatorskins for sport rides.

I would not buy Conti Pure contact LS again, they long lasting, grip and performance looks good but they are too harsh for me ( 225/50/17 has 98V load index)
