Tires MICHELIN or Falken

Falken Tires

The Falken Wildpeak A/T trails that I got late this spring have been great since. They're quiet and surprisingly efficient on the road, while delivering noticeably better grip on loose dirt, mud, and sand.

Pros: quiet, efficient on road
Cons: wait for snow review

I took advantage of the 4th of July sales and ditched the stock Pirellis for Michelin Sport 4S because I’m going for a road trip along Big Sur and through the Redwoods (Hated the Pirellis).

Pros: better road trip experience
Cons: hated the Pirellis

I have a focus St with Michelin pilot super sports. While the compound sucks when it hits freezing temps, I've had no issues getting around, unless it's super icy.

Pros: no issues getting around
Cons: compound sucks when freezing
Vehicle: Ford Focus

I haven't been able to gloat anywhere, but I just nabbed a pair of PS4Ss for 149/ea. They really are incredible tires

Pros: incredible tires

On the two Hondas I leased, all I did other than oil changes was switch out the tires on my Accord coupe V6/6-speed after one got punctured. I wanted to do it anyway; the stock tires sucked, and the one thing the car did great was accelerate, so I put a set of Michelin Super Sports on it. It stopped acting like I was waterboarding it with high-RPM shifts into 2nd after that.

Pros: improved acceleration, better handling

Just had a set of 225/40R18 Pilot Sport 4s tires mounted on my summer wheels -- saved $150. :beer: Great service at my local Tire Center. Guys were nice and knew their stuff. They also used a $16,000 Coats APX90E tire changer, which was a nice bonus and didn't leave a scratch anywhere.

Pros: great service, no scratches
Vehicle: Porsche

Buy the cleanest one with the least deferred maintenance, oh and Michelins, you can't go wrong buying a car with Michelins on it.

Pros: can't go wrong

We found them nice for around 5,000mi of spirited driving. They gave good reliable feedback in corners but didn't perform well in wet. I had separation on rear tread twice.

Pros: good reliable feedback
Cons: separation on rear tread
Mileage: 8046 km

  • Ride comfort:
Rating 2.0

but the Xi2s were amazing.... and then very quickly wore from being great, to being really really poor. Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde over the course of about 3500kms....... they should have had another 1-2 full seasons on them but IMO they did not wear well after 2 seasons.

Pros: amazing when new
Cons: wore out quickly
Mileage: 3500 km
