Tires MICHELIN or Firestone

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.

i drive 2000-2500 miles a year and a set of firestone multihawks lasted me 3 years while driving like an absolute bellend flooring it every chance i got and being hard on the brakes. for £50 a tyre i think i did quite well considering i abused tf out of them.

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.

I'm in Canada but my summer tires are Firehawk Indy 500s and they grip really well, even in the rain. Would definitely recommend.

Michelins for the best wear. Not nearly as soft as khumos though so won't grip quit as well. I got 75k out of my last set

I live in Wisconsin,  used to switch snow tires to summer tires every year on my 2x4 2008 Ford ranger, I just went to the tire shop, asked for snow tires,  had the Firestone ones, and some cheap ones off tire rack,  both worked fine.

I’ve noticed that my CC2’s on my Quest are about as loud as the BFG KO2’s on my Titan.

Cant speak to the Falkens but Indy500s get greasy after a few good heat cycles
