Tires MICHELIN or Maxxis

MICHELIN Tires

I once had about 4mm (barely anything) of tread left on some Michelin xice. I switched to a set of brand new all seasons... The traction on snow and ice that I had with the 4mm was so much greater than AS tires.

Pros: greater traction on snow

For all seasons, get Michelin pilot a/s 3+. Way better than the Conti extremecontacts I had before. Probably not quite as good in the snow but who cares. So smooth, relatively quiet, and great grip for an all season.

Pros: smooth, relatively quiet
Cons: not great in snow

Michelins, Contis and Bridgestones are all top end tires its hard to go wrong with for most buyers in my experience, but you're paying for that value.

Pros: top end tires

I had just come from the old Good year Eagle F1 GSD3's which were fantastic if a little soft on the sidewalls. The General's gave me decent tread life and grip. They weren't nearly as good in the wet as the F1's but I'm not sure my current PSS's are even as good as those F1's were; they were simply magic in the wet. My biggest complaint was the noise, just a very loud tire. I've had falken 512's and hated them. I knew how good the PSS's were but they were going to run about $1100 for the set. I ended up spending the extra because of the mileage guarantee. They guarantee 30k miles, which I have never seen out of a set of tires, and pro-rate replacements for any mileage under 30k. On my E46 that equated to me getting BOGO PSS's. The money upfront more than paid for itself in the long run; plus there are no tires on the market that do everything the PSS does as well as the PSS does.

Pros: fantastic wet grip, mileage guarantee
Cons: soft sidewalls, very loud
Vehicle: BMW

I also have a minion DHF for downhill and "rowdy" trail or wet/sandy conditions. It rolls a lot better than I expected for such tall knobs

Pros: rolls a lot better

Got some Michelin MXV4 for a really good price last year and they really helped with the absolute worst winter storm we've had here in portland in almost 2 decades. Did well in light snow, and extremely well in rain, plus they're incredibly quiet on the roads.

Pros: well in light snow
Cons: worst winter storm

I was on coilovers for quite a long time and wanted to let everyone know that they cars will eat through rear tires rather quickly once lowered. After the coils were installed I had a proper alignment done ASAP, and noticed that in under 9,000 miles of 97% highway driving my Michelin Pilot Super Sports were just about bald from the inner tread block outward.

Pros: proper alignment done
Cons: tires wear quickly
Vehicle: Audi S3
Mileage: 9000 km
