Tires MICHELIN or Firestone

The owners and drivers didn't want to ditch Firestone because their tires don't fail and they never have to worry about safety.

why not try out the new michelin pilot sport all season 4. They are not as sporty as as3+ but the ride is much much better. For the sporty asaspect if as3+ is a 10/10 then as4 is 9.3/10. I just put them on it feels good driving it.

Got mine this winter shortly after I bought a 2019 Alltrack S. Great in snow, rain, dry.

I replaced the second set of Firestones on my Jeep Grand Cherokee with these Michelin's and the road noise diminished greatly. They were great in our northern Indiana snow this winter. My driving is 75% highway, no off-road, but we do get snow and ice. I'm pleased with them.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

No other choice in my opinion. As a fellow spirited driver with a V8, tyres are the most important thing and these are reasonably priced and super safe for high speeds.

I would say stick with Michelin’s. Best combination of grip, comfort, road noise and tread wear. Based on experience Pirellis and Contis tend to wear out faster (P Zeros), Bridgestone is so so.

I ordered the same style rims in satin black 18” on T Sportline last week w/ Michelin X-Ice Snow.

I've had these for about 16,000 miles. 2 Wisconsin Winters and a summer. I am still extremely happy with them. OP nailed the Winter/wet portion. To add- whether warm or cold out, they perform more like true summer tires on dry pavement. I highly recommend them.

I'm about to purchase a 2014 class A that has about 51k miles..original Michelin XZA3 date code 3813 so about 5 years old they look in really good shape although I'm getting an independent inspection on Wed.

I totally agree with ALL your comments about the stock Michelins. It is a shame VW but such a crappy tire on such a fine car. The HXMX4 is one of the lowest rated all season tires based on user reviews at Tire Rack. I was really happy to send the Michelins to the recycling bin...
