Tires MICHELIN or NANKANG

Unfortunately, just the stock Michelin A/S 255-width ones.

The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s are the most fantastic tires I've ever had on any car. I love them, and will gladly put forth the cash for another set when they finally wear out someday.

I liked Nankang tires, had 'em on my dad's old cars and lasted 50k km while very good in rain and dry.

I run 245/40/17 Michelin Pilot sport cups on 17x8" Et 35 rims with stock springs -> no rubbing

Just installed new tires on our Phaeton. The old Michelins were actually dangerous. For reference, I'm not talking about driving through giant puddles at high speed; every time this happened we were on the freeway. So -- I researched everything out there and settled on the Michelin® Pilot Sport A/S (255/45R18). All I can say is... WOW!!! What a huge difference in performance; the car turns in much better and grips like crazy. These tires should be standard on this car! This tire seems to improve on the factory tire in every area of performance, and is supposed to be superb in the wet as well.

Luckily Bridgestone has a 30-day test drive program where if you're not happy with the tires for any reason, you can return them for a full refund. I walked into Curry's, told them I didn't like Potenzas and walked out with a set of Michelin MXV$ Plus tires.

Don't know about the Toyos but the PS2'S are great. They handle excellent in the rain and in the dry. High Speed stability is excellent as well.

Yes, they'll start talking when you reach their limits of adhesion. Not as loudly as the F1s, but at pretty much the same point (just as they're starting to let go--which seems to be fairly gradual and predictable).

I just ran a track weekend at Pocono Raceway with my PS2's, 245/35/19. They performed extremely well for a street tire.

My wife's CR-V has Michelin Artic Alpins, they work OK but they emit a really loud "whistle" on wet asphalt.
