Tires MICHELIN or DUNLOP

Michelin has excellent customer service. When we got our first model 3, we noticed two tires with bulges. We changed them thru Tesla service and they deemed them defective. They sent a check for the full amount of the new tires.

I now have ZIIIs on my Miata and have been enjoying them. I’m not super picky and they were cheap but the grip is astonishing. Road noise is probably average.

I just had a set of Direzza ZIIIs on my AP2, and switched them out about three weeks ago. I’d put the overall grip from the ZIII slightly higher than as the Falken Azenis RT615 K+ I ran before I switched to the Dunlop. They talk more than the Falkens at the limit, meaning if you like to kick the tail out, they scream like a banshee. They’re a responsive tire, with a stiff sidewall and chunky tread blocks. The tire has a very solid feeling, and doesn’t feel like it deforms a whole lot as you load it up.

I did switch to new 18 inch wheels with 235/40 michelin AS/3 tires and it's absolutely perfect for me now.

But, spent most of the summer in Phoenix, AZ and took a road trip from Des Moines, IA to Phx on them in both sweltering 110°+ heat, and torrential downpours and they are freaking amazing.

Better ride, and quieter than stock, and I’ve personally noticed zero difference in handling.

Always Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 and nothing else.

Michelin last the longest, so you save money.

I ran the X-Ice 2s for a number of years and they were great.

Personally, I would not get the CrossClimates if you are in Florida. They are like a hybrid winter tire with the snowflake and would probably be great in the rain but might wear quickly down there. I put a set (the car version) on our Corolla before we sent it to our kid up north and they were okay but felt a little "clompy" and loud over bumps.

General all day every day. Michelen tires dryrot like wet cheese
