I was going to replace with the same tire but decided to try the Michelin AS4. I would observe the following :

Dry grip - Michelin is better feel and grip around corners

Wet grip - not scientific but think the DWS is marginally better

Road feel / noise / ride quality - I like the Michelins slightly better

Pros: better dry grip, road feel
Cons: DWS better wet grip

Selling the SS was a god send for this. It ate a set of PS4S's every 3 months. 16 tires went to it every year, then the Lotus took a set, so before the E38, that was 20 tires a year.

Pros: long lasting
Vehicle: Chevrolet SS

+1 for Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Had the Cup 2’s on my PP2 (305 front and rear), they lasted 7,500 miles, lots of grip but no grip when cold or damp. Switched to PS4’s currently with 21,000 miles, and probably another ~10,000 left in them. Much better all weather performance, and they had ~90% of the grip of the Cup 2’s. Also added benefit of a slightly softer ride due to a softer sidewall.

Pros: better all weather performance, softer ride
Cons: less grip than Cup 2
Mileage: 21000 km

I put a Kenda K257D on the back of my bike to get through a weekend ride. It did surprisingly well on the asphalt but I don’t expect it to live long.

Pros: did surprisingly well
Cons: expect it to live long

Have an SL5 and upgraded to Zipp 303 firecrest just because it was such a good deal, $1,400 delivered. I went with Michelin Power Road and very happy

Pros: very happy with Michelin

If you don’t do a lot of spirited driving the Michelin Cross Climate 2 have served me and I live in NJ. They are quiet and track really nice. Plus the 60,000 mile warranty is a plus. They come in both H & V ratings. I run them on my 2009 2 Door Rabbit S.

Pros: quiet, track really nice, good warranty
Vehicle: Volkswagen

We had a set of these on our Rogue, and I wasn\u2019t really blown away by them. Tread life was awful, which really surprised me. Granted, wet grip was very good and they rode quietly, but I wasn\u2019t that impressed with them overall.

Pros: wet grip very good
Cons: awful tread life
Vehicle: Nissan

I liked the feel of Nevegals, but mine started to fall apart about 4 months after getting them. Durability seems to be an issue for myself, and some other people after reading other reviews.

Pros: good feel
Cons: poor durability
