Tires MICHELIN or Giti

They are the most quietest well balanced and slow wearing tires (as long as your on pavement) I think I've ever had. They handle like a dream.

After much searching, I replaced my worn tires with the original MXM4. Pricey yes, but they are excellent tires and worth the extra dollars for the extra range (independently verified).

I have had the old pilot sports and the new pilots … only regret is they never break traction . Absolutely the best tires in the market .

Michelin's X-ice's are pretty competitive.

I had Pilot sport as3 a few years back but got as4 when I got my new wheels and they’re good. They’re able to keep the power down, some wheel spin in second, with my new build that makes 655 to the wheels.

I’ve had both on my 2016. The biggest difference I noticed immediately after switching from the dws06 to the pilot sports is the road noise. The Michelin’s are much quieter and overall have been the best tires I’ve ever owned.

I have been driving for about a month on Michelin Defenders (21"; purchased/installed at Costco) and will never go back to the Pirellis. Quieter for road travel, good handling, minimal difference in range

I ran the Michelins for 8 winters here in BC. They are an excellent tire. Good in rain, snow and ice (ice performance degraded after about the third season).

The Pilot Sport Cup 2's had great grip but are VERY expensive and had a strong tendency to tramline - do not reccommend for the street unless you track the car. The Pilot Sport 4s have better manners on the street in the OEM sizes (305/30R19 & 315/30R19) and are less expensive than the Cup 2's.

The Michelins that came with the 18s and the pro contacts with the 19s were some of the worst handling tires I’ve owned especially in the rain. I’ve never hydroplaned as much as on those tires on any of my previous cars. I wouldn’t want anybody I care about or myself driving on those in the rain. But if it doesn’t rain where you live, they’re pretty nice thanks to the foam.
