Installed my BEC Golf R headlights with the Morimoto HID kit...Also sourced some OEM Alltrack Canyons, and installed them with new Michelin Pilot Sport AS3s in OEM sizes. The difference in ride quality is stark, with the Michelins soaking up road imperfections much better than the OEM Falkens.

Pros: better ride quality
Vehicle: Volkswagen

My 2009 CR-V that my daughter drives as a hand-me-down needed new tires. I saw a few recommendations for the Michelin Defender as a good, quiet CR-V tire. I had them installed and *wow* - so much quieter than the stock continentals that were on it. Huge difference in the amount of cabin noise coming up from the road.

Pros: much quieter than stock
Vehicle: Honda

Love me some winter sidewall... 15” Michelin X-ice on old school BBS Moda from 1992. No need for AWD on the shores of Lake Ontario

Pros: love winter sidewall

I just replaced my Michelin Premiere LTX on my 2012 Murano a few thousand miles ago or so.

In my opinion, they were great performing tires. My experience has been completely different than the other poster who said they were poor in cornering and quick maneuvers. I drive windy mountain roads in Appalachia all the time, and they did great in the corners. It might have to do with my tires having not much sidewall (P235/55R20), though.

They were excellent in the rain, even in standing water. I'd crank through fairly deep puddles and it wouldn't even as much as pull. Great hydroplaning resistance.

Snow.. they were about as good as you can really expect without a winter-rated tire. They did get me through weekly 400 miles trips from North Central WV to Northern Virginia every week last winter, without any worries.

Pros: great performing tires, excellent in rain
Cons: 42k miles before replacement
Vehicle: Nissan Murano
Mileage: 42000 km

Should be just replacing the factory PSC2s with PS4s. The difference in wear is pretty huge, and unless you're at 10/10 the performance difference is worth the $$ savings

Pros: huge difference in wear
Cons: performance difference

Have a 2017 Volt in Ottawa for the last 2+ years.

- Summer range is about 100km and winter range is about 65km

- Have a home charger so I don’t rely much on the chargers around the city. It is convenient at IKEA and the few other places.

- Totally worth having it as I used to spend about $220 a month in gas and that equates to about $25 a month in electricity.

- We have Michelin X-ice 3 tires and it works great in winter. Something useful about electric cars is that they are quite heavy due to the batteries so it assists with the traction.

Pros: works great in winter
Cons: winter range is about 65km

I went with 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 on 18x8 BBS SR. Even these are pretty wide if you're doing a lot of snow driving, but I'm almost always on asphalt so I wanted dry traction and braking too.

Pros: dry traction and braking
Cons: pretty wide

Going from my pilot super sports to a set of alpine pa4 snow tires on my FoRS was a pretty noticable change... Turns out sticky summer tires don't really grip on any amount of snow or black ice, and proper winter tires really really grip on snow and ice.

Pros: really grip on snow
Cons: summer tires don't grip
Vehicle: Ford Focus

30K miles on my A/S3's on the Mini. They still grip reasonably well in the dry; the wet is iffy. While there is still treadlife left, the tire howl has becoming bad. They were nearly silent when new.

Pros: grip reasonably well in dry
Cons: wet is iffy, tire howl
