Tires MICHELIN or Nexen

Talk to Tire Rack and/or read all their test reports, and the only tire that is outstanding for your objective, and for DD road use, is the Michelin Pilot Super Sport, or the Bridgestone RE-11.

Try Michelin mxv4.

I would recommend Michelin and BFGoodrich. I've had good experiences at Americas Tire Co, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Too late, I already got them installed and went with the Nexens. So far so good. Very smooth ride and no noise whatsoever!

I switched out my Hankook V4's to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3...eliminated 75% of my wheelspin off the line (I should note that I have APR Stage I on the vehicle)...essentially has made reconsider getting the dogbone mount upgraded on the EOS. I've had the stock Conti's, Pirelli P4's, and the last set of Hankook's on...A/S3's blow them out of the water for grip.

Michelin x-ice 3. Great tires. My fwd Nissan never got stuck this winter, and trust me, Alberta winters are brutal. (I'm talking like a foot of snow on the road) it was good on ice too, this combined with ABS, made slippery surfaces manageable.

So,I think the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 is the best winter tire for drivers who travel regularly on snow-packed or icy pavement. The Xi3 rides quietly and comfortably, and owners find it extremely durable. In professional tests, it gets top marks for handling.

I put on A/S 3s about 3 weeks ago, 235/50R18. I am more than please. They are silent, and the ride is so much smoother than the factory Pirellis. Almost fells like I don't have sport suspension. Traction and stability are superb. Stopping on rain soaked roads is as if the road is dry.

My Michelin Alpins were outstanding in the snow

I run Michelin XLT 'all-seaon mud and snow' tires, which are great in rain and ok in light snow, but frankly in real winter-y conditions are not good enough.
