Tires MICHELIN or Hankook

I went with Michelin Xice Xi2 on 16" elbrus alloys from Tirerack, and the good ol' bi-yearly self-o change-o. Comfortable, safe, quiet... no complaints :thumbup:

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo Best tire I've ever had, esp. in the rain

these are excellent in all areas so far, road noise is non-existent, they're great in the rain, and sticky on dry pavement.

So my Bridgestone Potenzas got slicked out (lasted 23k km) and a friend reccomended and got me a set of 225-45-XR17 Hankook RS-3 Tires... This hankook tires are rated as Semi-Slicks, and by how they perform, i agree with that... First impressions (compared with Bridgestone Potenzas 225-45-r17): Awesome handling capabilities the car feels so much more responsive and precise in both dry and wet conditions Great Braking You can feel the car generating more negative G force when you slam the brakes Really Confortable to ride and noise levels are low, plus they have a more Solid Feel in the pavement imperfections Overall Conclusions: Way Better Than Bridgestone Potenzas (same sizes and everything) and by far more affordable Definetly the tire to go with in summer conditions

I had the dealer replace the Hankooks that came with my V6 SE Passat with Michelin MXM4 94V rated tires. The difference in ride quality and handling is phenomenal!

I had the dealer swap the Hankooks that were on our new B7 to Conti ProContacts which were on a another B7 in the lot. We have about 1500 miles on car and I can honestly say the car rides quiet.....no more road noise than the B6, and no wind noise.

Michelin primacy mxv4's love this tire. great handling in wet and dry conditions. very nice smooth quiet ride.

Bought Primacy MXV4's as my next tire. Never regretted it.

I recently replaced the stock tires with Michelin Primacy MXM4 and this thing is now QUIET. It's amazing how quiet it is even over rough surfaces and at highway speeds.

I can only speak re: the PS2's. Had them on my S2000 for track duty. Unbelievable grip once their hot. Key point here. They're risky as daily drivers, and use caution about driving in the rain - it's like ice. If they're cold (like anytime their not warmed by a few yellow-laps), they are slick. Pardon if I didn't read all of your question, if you want the most adhesive track tire out there, go for it. I did use them as daily drivers, they were fine, but could bite you.
