Tires MICHELIN or KENDA

I returned them with no problem and bought pilot sport all seasons. They arrived in good shape with mfg date of March this year ????

Yes wildpeaks were highly recommended. I actually just bought cross climate 2s. Handle really well in rain so far.

Replaced original Procontact, got a set of PS ALL-SEASON 4. Improve overall handling and comfort.

I like the Michelin power road tlr ran tubeless because they're what's available right now for me. Honestly all the top tires on that site are good.

My car came with 225/40-18 Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS and they were LOUD. Twice I took the car in to ensure it wasn't the wheel bearings making noise and it was just the tires. I've been really happy with Potenza's in the past but these tires were terrible. I replaced the tires last year with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 and they transformed the car. They're quiet and they have a better ride at VW's very high 42 psi recommended pressure. The car handles better in every respect too where as before, it always felt like I was fighting the car on twisty roads. They're better in the rain AND they were cheaper than the OEM tires. Very happy with them.

I have been running Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ for years on my dd 15 GTI S PP. They have been great, if fairly noisy as they age and or in colder temps.

I'll plug Cross Climate 2's. Have been running them 2 years in Wisconsin. Amazing wet grip, summer like feel in both warm and cold, quiet, and very good snow. Won't be switching.

They were the best riding tire I had on any car I’ve ever had.

The Michelin sidewalls had all the support in the world, to the point of feeling harsh. Awesome in the corners though but the car definitely thudded over expansion joints and bumps.

Bottom line for me, the Michelins haven't stood up in the desert heat and I've had them as OEM tires on a few vehicles. By 25,000 - 30,000 miles the rubber is cracking. How safe is that? Once again, I'm just sharing my perspective from my personal experience. Everyone else can do what they think is right.
