Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

- By 2006, Michelin was vastly superior to Bridgestone in wet weather conditions in general.

I just replaced my Dunlops that came with my 2015 GT after 40k miles about a few weeks ago. I got the Michelin tires after doing my own research, and I'm pretty happy that I did. I'm in my car roughly two hours a day commuting to work, and I think they grip better and are noticeably quieter than the OEMs.

The michelins are better than the dunlops in every other way. I have 25k on mine and rotate them every 7k ish. Each with an oil change.

Ours will be getting Michelin Premiers (have great wet traction) in the next year or so as the OEM Continentals are just okay.

I would go for the kumho tires out of those 3, they make some decent tires.

I got new tires at about 35k miles because those were trash. Got Michelin defenders. 20k miles on them and still look like brand new tread.

The winter tires - Michelins - got about 10k put on them.

Here are OEM Conti 5p and Michelin P4S in 235/35/19 mounted on VMR 710FF 19x8.5 et45. OEM Conti’s are a little stretched. But not bad. I ran the wheels that way for two summers before installing the Michelins. The Michelins run a little wider so they are squared off more.

The Kumho's aren't that bad in noise, until you get to the halfway point, then it starts to get noisy.

On a subject unrelated to load ratings, the Michelin HX MXM4 are, well, to be brutally honest - they are total rubbish. Expect to have borderline dangerous hydroplaning performance when the tires get to 6/32nds and less. Wet traction will be very poor when the tires get below 4/32nds or so.
