Tires MICHELIN or LANDSAIL

A friend of mine who lives outside of Chelsea, MI has a Saturn SC2 that rides on Pilot Alpins in the winter. He says those tires are pretty darned good and perfect for the kind of snow that falls around Ann Arbor

I've got Michelin Pilot XGT H4s on my 'roc... They're holding up reqally well, they're three years old now and still have lots of tread left on them, they're awesome in the rain too which is a good thing 'cos I live in Raincouver

The car still has the stock Michelin MXV4 Plus 205/55 16H tires. I do not dispute that true snow tires outperform them. These tires suffice for both good and bad weather until one obtains more specialized sets for the seasons one encounters in their area. I plan on getting 17x8 wheels with Kumho 712s for the summer, and going with these for the winter until they wear out. Regardless, 4Mo provides superior safety and handling in any situation.

i have michelin x1 tires and they are excellent....

Well, I had a set of XGT V4 (not on my dub) before they came out with the Pilot XGT V4 and they handled pretty well. But, they were bald in appox. 20k miles. So, I replaced them with the Khumo ECSTA Supra 712's. They were awesome, they handled much better than the XGT's and were much cheaper.

I had the same question and just checked mine. From the dealership I had appx 42 PSI front and 44 PSI rear (cold). As this didn't match the gas door recommendations. I called the dealer's (Chapman, Scottsdale AZ) service department. The front desk finally transferred me to the tire shop (note Chapman also sells BMW and Dodge) the helpful technician listened to my specifications and question and responded that he recommends 38 PSI front and rear in Phoenix. For all vehicles with similar low profile tires.He was very specific about location (asked me if I lived here in town). I'm guessing that's due to our good old dry heat here. Anyhow that's what I set mine to. regards, Ken

I drove last winter on the Michelin Arctic Alpins, including into ski areas, etc and they were just great.

I have had both the Michelin Pilot Alpins and Artic Alpins. I prefer the Pilot Alpins because they don't have the incessant whine and tread squirm. The Pilots seem almost as good in all winter conditions except shear ice (fewer sipes).

Mine's not a 4mo but I've really enjoyed the Michelin Arctic Alpin - bought a set in 195/65/15 on stock steelies - they're ugly compared to the alloys but they got me through the worst (and I mean WORST) New Jersey has to offer.
