Tires MICHELIN or NITTO

Went Michelin and won't go back unless Pirelli changes the game on Michelin

I’ve always been impressed by the pilot sport all seasons. I had the 3’s, then upgraded to the 4’s when they came out.

I have MPSS on my ND, and ran the same tires on my NC. I absolutely love them, my favorite tires and I would really recommend them. Not just for performance (which is, as you said, best of class) but also because they ride extremely well and don’t have too much road noise.

I bought a 20 year scooter with only 345 miles on it. It still had the original Pirellis and they were practically new. Of course I had to change 20 year old tires, but I put on Michelin City Grip IIs, and that was when I felt comfortable leaning.

I just put them on a new set of 18x8.5 forged wheels I bought for my 2022 VW Golf GTI Autobahn. We had a snow store two weeks ago and I was getting stuck because of the summer tires. So far since the snow storm we had rain storms, ice storms as well as a lot of snow that remained. All the snow that remained was where cars parked. The plows pushed the snow that way. A lot of cars were stuck and had to be dug out. But a bunch of snow remained. I was able to drive through in and out of parking spots with lots of snow like a tractor.

The stock conti's are garbage and wear out in 6-8k miles. I replaced them with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's and they've been great.

Have had 2 sets of DWS - always a fan (on a E350 and 335xi with 450+ hp), Michelin Premier LTX (on wifes CX-5) - they're fantastic, Michelin PS4S on the 911 and Pirelli Scorpion Verde for my old grand cherokee. The DWS are great all around tires and the Premier LTX is just a great tire.

I warrantied my OEM set (replaced at 14k miles) and never contacted michelin myself, just went to discount tire and inquired about it with them. As for the tires wearing out after 14k miles: I did do some occasional aggressive driving, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Evenly worn all around and rotated every 5k.

They slip like crazy in my g in the rain. NT05s in 285 width. Good dry performance. Scares me a little on raining freeway rides.
