Tires MICHELIN or Continental

MICHELIN Tires

I went with 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 on 18x8 BBS SR. Even these are pretty wide if you're doing a lot of snow driving, but I'm almost always on asphalt so I wanted dry traction and braking too.

Pros: dry traction and braking
Cons: pretty wide

Going from my pilot super sports to a set of alpine pa4 snow tires on my FoRS was a pretty noticable change... Turns out sticky summer tires don't really grip on any amount of snow or black ice, and proper winter tires really really grip on snow and ice.

Pros: really grip on snow
Cons: summer tires don't grip
Vehicle: Ford Focus

Putting Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on the Mustang, costs an arm and leg for 19" wheels but I understand the hype now. The grip is phenomenal and the wet weather handling is so much more confidence inspiring vs the Indy 500 tires, which were good tires to begin with imo.

Pros: phenomenal grip
Cons: costs an arm and leg

Holy shit the grip is amazing. In all conditions. Rain, cold, whatever. 20mins of track time even goes well

Pros: amazing grip, all conditions
Cons: more sliding about

Continental Extreme Contact DWS06’s are excellent. Same size as the summer tires on the Golf R. Excellent winter traction, I’ve had these on all my GTI’s, and I just put them on my new R.

Pros: Excellent winter traction

I installed 235f and 255r for a wider look. Continental extreme contact dsw. SL sidewall load range so not as solid as XL. I had to put more air in \~38lbs because they were mushy in curves but now seem fine. I trust them more in the rain than I would high performance tires.

Pros: trust them in rain
Cons: mushy in curves
Vehicle: Nissan
