Tires MICHELIN or GENERAL TIRE

GENERAL TIRE Tires

Right now I'm running [General Tire Altimax R43s](http://generaltire.com/tires/passenger-and-minivan/altimax-rt43). Most people aren't familiar with General, even if they are one of the oldest tire companies out there.

Pros: fantastic bang for buck

I run grabber at2s on my Wrangler. 35x12.5x15. Weight was actually a major factor in going that route. After checking all the competitor weights the grabbers are the lightest. They are also modeled very similar to The BFG ats and they perform excellently on road and snow. I use my Jeep for daily driving in Michigan and sand dunes/two tracks on the weekend and I have zero complaints.

Pros: lightest, excellent on road

I run Nitto 555 G2's during all but winter, and this year I went with Pilot Sport A/S3+ all-seasons (due to frequent driving in mild snow during work trips) and I'm quite happy with them.

Pros: quite happy
Vehicle: Ford Crown Victoria I

I daily Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my Focus SVT. They are so worth it. Yeah they wear out after 10-12k miles but they have like a 30k or 40k mile warranty so I get a new set of PSS's every year for like $150.

You can drive them in the rain like it isn't raining at all.

Pros: worth it, good warranty
Cons: wears out quickly
Vehicle: Ford Focus
Mileage: 11000 km

Sport Cup 2's are great tires, I have them on my RS. If I could do-over though, i would go with PS4S. Sure, they "technically" aren't as fast around a track, but for the 99.9% of street miles you put on them they are much more livable on a daily driver.

Pros: great tires
Cons: not fast on track
Vehicle: Ford

A good set of PS4s tires is more than enough for a daily. You wont have problems with rain or dry traction.

Pros: good rain, dry traction
Vehicle: BMW

I am running X Ice3 on the stock Austin wheels for the second winter now and have had no problems in Western PA. We don't get much snow per se, but the car feels confident in snow and ice, in particular stopping and turning.

Pros: car feels confident
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I put on a full set of Michelin XIce3 P205/55R16 with steel rims just before the first big snow hit and I'm glad I did. There's nothing like having a proper set of winter tires.

Pros: proper set of winter tires
Vehicle: Volkswagen

They're not great but they are somewhat better than the Michelin MXV4 Plus tires that came with my Passat. I had HX MXM4's on 17\" Long Beaches from my 1.8T Jetta that I have been using on my TDI. Now that they've worn out, I've just replaced them with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions. These should give me the kind of cornering and wet weather grip the Michelins lacked.

Cons: lacked cornering, lacked wet grip
