Tires MICHELIN or LASSA

If you can afford it, Michelin is worth it in the long run. They’re the only tire I know that lasts longer than the warranty period based on Consumer Reports.

I was going to replace with the same tire but decided to try the Michelin AS4. I would observe the following :

Dry grip - Michelin is better feel and grip around corners

Wet grip - not scientific but think the DWS is marginally better

Road feel / noise / ride quality - I like the Michelins slightly better

This year has been crazy, I’m into three sets of Michelins 2xPS4S on the 981 and 911 plus a set of PSS on the BMW

Selling the SS was a god send for this. It ate a set of PS4S's every 3 months. 16 tires went to it every year, then the Lotus took a set, so before the E38, that was 20 tires a year.

+1 for Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Had the Cup 2’s on my PP2 (305 front and rear), they lasted 7,500 miles, lots of grip but no grip when cold or damp. Switched to PS4’s currently with 21,000 miles, and probably another ~10,000 left in them. Much better all weather performance, and they had ~90% of the grip of the Cup 2’s. Also added benefit of a slightly softer ride due to a softer sidewall.

Have an SL5 and upgraded to Zipp 303 firecrest just because it was such a good deal, $1,400 delivered. I went with Michelin Power Road and very happy

If you don’t do a lot of spirited driving the Michelin Cross Climate 2 have served me and I live in NJ. They are quiet and track really nice. Plus the 60,000 mile warranty is a plus. They come in both H & V ratings. I run them on my 2009 2 Door Rabbit S.

I have the Michelins AS3's on my 18 Jetta SEL and of course I'm down south, but they are like chewing gum, very sticky...I'm impressed so far...

Love Michelins. I will replace the 18"Pirellis with Michelins when they wear out on my mk7 gti.

I've used those Michelin since last winter. The road noise is improved, but not significant.
