Tires MICHELIN or Nokia

Michelin by far. I have Pilot Sport AS3+ on my car, and they’re fantastic.

Personally I’ve been buying Michelin pilot sports and I don’t see it changing any time soon at this point

It’s the best tire I’ve purchased over the years and until I drive something better I can’t justify any other brand

I’ve had loads of pirellis too, and they were my go to prior to the Michelins,

Performance in rain on the pilot sports is what really sets them apart for me. Might as well be dry roads 24/7 with those things

Michelin, for the win. They have stronger sidewalls

I am using them also. They are as good as the Nokian Hakapellitas I had and cheaper too.

I put a set of Michelin Crossclimate 2 on my 2016 OBL over a year and a half ago and would not switch to or recommend any other tire for all around use here in New England. Amazing traction in any kind of situation I've been in.

The first time I put Michelin Pilot Supersports on my E92 BMW I was awestruck. Not only were those tires amazing, but they were replacing runflats which were garbage in any metric besides their ability to run flat which I never used.

Michelin Defender, great sound and 80000 mile tread life warranty. But the Toyos are nothing but hot garbage. I was too cheap to replace them and they gave up the ghost around 35000 miles. I have 25000 miles on the Defenders and still sound the same as new.

Michelin is a good brand too. Went with those my last tire change and they’re still going strong ????

I would skip the encompass aw01s. I had a set WR G3s and then a set of WR G4s and they were great with low noise and great traction. I then tried these since they were on sale, and I didn’t find them as good as the prior two sets of nokians. They seemed noisier and only excelled in standing water traction. Otherwise snow conditions seemed just average.

At first I thought they were decent but now at 20k miles they don't grip nearly as well, even with my AWD. I turned off traction control the other day and with a damp road (not raining) I did a 4 wheel burnout up to about 50 mph.
