Tires MICHELIN or Firestone

I'm extremely happy with my Firestone Destination X/T's in LT285/65R20E. They are quiet, good in the rain and very solid feeling even on my 1 Ton.

I had the Cross Climates on my last car. They were mounted Feb 2021. The Cross Climates came out in 2015 as a summer tire with winter capabilities. They were pretty good. I liked how they handled when I went through a huge deep long puddle/water build up on the highway. My car wasnt pulled to the left if the water was on the left for example. They handled pretty decently in the snow. While driving over slush or ice on the highway I felt the car was secure and planted. Although I did feel some slipping at times but recovered because of their grip right away. I think they handled better than the Michelin Sport All season tires I had on my BMW. As for summer handling I thought they were great. They did feel a bit slower or clunky going into fast corners but they gripped well.

One of the TireRack reps suggested the Firestone WeatherGrip tire. He drives an Alltrack and said that tire is the best all season/winter mild tire, but not at lot of people buy it because they think is not a really all season.

When my OEMs are gone I have always bgt Michelins and been very pleased. If I get 40-50K miles on a tire I'm happy.

Running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's -225/45 r17. Over a year on them in pothole Ohio. No problems whatsoever, Even with hitting the odd pothole directly.

Just switched from the DWS to the MPSAS4 and the Michelin is by far the more performance oriented all season tire.

Oh then 1000% get Michelin pilot sport a/s 3+ not even a debate. They ARE sports car tires, handling is off the chain, they have stupid long mileage warranty, they are phenomenal in the rain, and they are fantastic in light snow (say 3" or less) and light ice. But they are definitely dead silent.

I run Michelin Premier A/S and I’ve really enjoyed them. I also run my tire a little bit taller and more narrow than factory. I like the taller sidewall for ride comfort.

I got the Firestone Indy 500 in 215/55/17 and they have a LOT of grip but the sidewalls are very soft so there's not much steering feel.

I had a set of Michelin hydroedge on my Mustang, they were awful. No traction in any condition, and dry-rotted similar to shown above, but not quite as bad. And only about 4 years old.
