Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

PS4s are incredible. They make any car they are on feel 800lbs lighter and handling nimbleness seems to come with.

On my daily car (e39 BMW) I use Michelin CrossClimate tires, because it doesn't get realy hot or really snowy here (North-Western Europe). As for all seasons, they are considered pretty good.

But I put some pilot sport 4s on the sti for the first time this year and... What can you say, it's a completely different car. For handling, it shares absolutely nothing in common with the same car on economy tires.

I like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. It's a well-rounded performance tire. Track ready, great handling wet and dry, comfortable on the road, 30k mi treadlife.

Kumho makes solid tires. I had a set of the PA31 and they did well.

I have used Kumho tires for many years now. Quiet and smooth. Never had a problem.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+'s, MUCH better than the Falkens that came with the car.

I bought the CrossClimate 2’s for my 2018 last year , we had 18” of unplowed snow and didn’t miss a beat. I tried to get stuck and couldn’t. They’ve been excellent in the rain. The few people that have driven my car always compliment the way it handles.

I warrantied my OEM set (replaced at 14k miles) and never contacted michelin myself, just went to discount tire and inquired about it with them. As for the tires wearing out after 14k miles: I did do some occasional aggressive driving, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Evenly worn all around and rotated every 5k.

I have not been impressed with any recent set of Michelin tires I’ve had. Hard to balance and rough rides. I loved a set of General RT43s I had. Smooth as butter.
