Tires MICHELIN or Nexen

Michelin is the only brand I'm always completely happy with...Midrange and up tires from other brands like Bridgestone (Potenza 750 and similar) and BFG (G-Force Sport)...have been okay but there always end up being some characteristics that make me wish I'd spent the extra $100 on some Michelins, like getting really noisy after a year, not working well in the rain and slush, not balancing absolutely perfectly, weird resonant noises at various speeds, etc.

Ran the Xi3's this past winter when I was traveling 200 miles every 8 weeks, with the same trip most weekends. Tires ran quiet on highway, stable performance in wet or dry. We saw some ice and it gripped as if it was wet. No complaints

Tires Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 225/45ZR17 94/y.

Fairly quiet tires, grip is good, and they've never left me wanting.

I'm running 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires on my stock 18" Laguna wheels on my Mk6.

NVH is similar to the stock tires, but they have way more grip.

Michellin Pilot A/S3+ 235/45/17

Potholes have nothing on me. Great grip in rain and dry. Cabin is a lot quieter than when I have Continental A/S.

I've had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ on my R since late April. Very happy with their street performance. I did it as a compromise from having to keep a set of dedicated winters around.

I just purchased last week, went with the pilot Sport a/s 3 +. I was also looking at the Conti DWS06. The have better reviews for snow driving. Figured I will drive my SUV when it snows, so went with the better performance. Seem pretty good so far, only about 50 miles in though.

I just got Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on my 19 Santiago wheels and I really like them, amazing grip both on wet and dry, would recommend them!

Another vote for the Continental DWS... I have had them for front tires on my '06 for about a year..only reason I haven't replaced the stock rears is because they still have tread left at 73K!(they are Michelin Primacys which are a nice tire but only under dry or wet conditions..tread life is awesome, but they're terrible in snow)

Dude. Ran the michellins, ran the Kumhos and twice have run Dunlop SP5000s .. run the dunlops. They're sub $100/tire, grip much better than the kumhos both wet and dry, take longer to wear and are just all around a better tire. Far better than the michellins, for a fraction of the price.
