Tires MICHELIN or Cooper

I recently replaced the original pilot sport 4 for a set of cross climate 2. Was a bit worried how much sound will be impacted since cc don't have the foam. It was a little bit of a different sound, not louder just a different tone. But stopped noticing anything the next day.

On my 2019 M3, I had Continental tires with foam as well. I replaced them with Michelin sport pilot 4 (no foam) and to be honest they were quieter than the factory tires.

Im having this debate right now. I have had my defender 2s since \~30k and they have performed flawlessly especially between Maine and DC. Its seen snow, rain etc and I have not had an issues in any climate.

The 15x5 (black) steel wheels on my Yaris only weigh 15 lbs and the H-rated 175/65-15 Michelin summer tires I have weigh 14.7, so less than 30 lbs a corner. What I can't believe is how heavy some of the all-terrain tire/wheel combos are that people buy without researching the implications first. I did a lot of research to find a light AT tire, jumping from 30 lbs for the OEM tire to 39 for an AT in my stock 245/75-16 size, just a higher weight rating. The steel wheels on the truck weigh 32 lbs, so 71 lbs/corner.

I changed over to Michelin when my new 992S came with 'Goodyear" of all things..and I love the Michelin's..

Just got some new PS4S and they are incredible

PS4S

Michelins are worth double compared to generals.

My OEM Michelin PS4’s were gone after about 14k miles of abuse (new car excitement).

Starfire tires are a budget brand of tire made by Cooper. They're typically using Cooper's older, less advanced rubber compounds, some of which are absolutely terrifying in wet conditions and tend to be OK to good in the dry. They typically have a short tread life.
