Tires MICHELIN or Falken

I went to PS4S' five years ago and will never go back.

Pro: Softer ride, more quiet and cheaper.

Spend a few more bucks and get Michelin. They will last longer and you’ll have a better ride the whole time. It’s worth the extra few bucks.

Defender 2 is excellent and reasonably priced

I use Michelin 235 40 18 4S on my MK7 with Neuspeed RSe12 8"x18" and the grip is a tick better than the standard size. This combo is also lighter than the stock wheels and tires...and along with the suspension modifications, it's a difficult subject to try to quantify. I am always concerned with wheel and tire weight...that drives my decision making...if you like the look of a 19" rim, go for it. I think that you will find a larger variable between tire types and widths where ultimate grip is concerned...steering response is in theory better with a lower profile tire, but sidewall construction will also affect steering response with a similar tire size range.

I just put the Pilot Sport 4S tires on my 21 3.3 Sport Prestige and I absolutely love them. I had kuhmos on it before and they were absolutely trash tires compared to these. These new ones are way stiffer and way better performance in turns and just all around feel like a better tire.

If you go off road occasionally, and in the snow at all, the falken wildpeak AT is the way to go.

Michelin Cross Climate 2's unless off roading.

I like my Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons. Grippy, great wet performance, and it won't break the bank.

Had these same Michelins on a FWD car. If you never plan to drive on dirt or gravel roads, or in snow ice, they’re probably decent, but not awesome in heavy rain. Consider the mileage rating for Pilot vs other Michelin tires that cost slightly more because the Pilots didn’t last me long.

Those are ultra high performance summer tires and are the stock tires for the vb. Those are absolute hot garbage in anything below 40 degrees.
