Tires MICHELIN or Falken

i got the defenders about 500 miles ago and like them.

the ride is more comfortable and i like the look. i do hear a little bit of road noise, but assuming i get close to the life i’m supposed to from them, it’ll be worth it.

I work in a limestone rock quarry and I have Falken Wildpeak AT4 on my truck and they have been excellent. I am about to buy some for my personal 3500 AT4 because the wrangler that are on it are good ties I'm sure, but they give a very stiff ride quality.  If they can stand up to my work environment they will stand up to anything I would need in my personal vehicle.

I was actively avoiding driving with the Kinergys if rain was predicted. Hated to dump almost new tires but first rain test the other night with the Michelins and they were amazing.

Look into the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. Great tire and better tread wear.

I ride on Michelin Cross climates and really like em. Spendy but I live in a place that gets lots of snow so worth it for me personally

Well you get what you pay for in tires. Chinese tires I get 1 season out of (I drive a lot) name brand such as Michelin 3 years. Name brand rides better, quieter, wear better.

I'm glad. I got tires for my suv for 130$ a tire and they are going strong 4 years later. Last set i had on the same car were Michelin for 210$ per and they wore out after 3 years.

Like others on here, Michelin PS4S.

I bought my 2019 GLI with about 8k miles on it and noticed fairly quickly especially in the rain, the stock tires just didn’t cut it, so those got swapped out about 1500 miles later (under 10k). Great upgrade, no regrets.

My winters aren't too different, and I've had or have all of them: Pilot Alpin, X-Ice Snow, and CC2 (all North American versions). The CC2 were just too floppy and imprecise for me, and that's on a modified daily driver crossover. On a 986 the steering and handling response would be damaged noticeably over Pilot Alpins imo. If you're a fan of feel (and likely traction overall, honestly), get the UHP winters. They're by far my category of choice because of the sporty feel they maintain on performance cars.

I bought 18 inch and rims with Michelin all seasoned tires. I bought them from Tire Rack as a package already mounted and balanced (so they said). I start driving the car and I’m feeling a lot of vibration from my butt. My thighs are shaking, and the steering wheel is vibrating. All four tires out of all four tires are out of round. So he road force matches them check the numbers and then seems to be all good. At that point, the vibration has gone down, but still noticeable.
