Tires MICHELIN or OEM BMW

MICHELIN CrossClimate® 2. Best tire I ever bought.

The overall best one is probably the Michelin CrossClimate2, which has excellent wet and dry traction in addition to its excellent winter traction.

I just bought a set of Michelin Cross climate 2s for my Subaru Crosstrek. A specific winter-only set would be best, but a good all-season works too.

PS4s are incredible. They make any car they are on feel 800lbs lighter and handling nimbleness seems to come with.

On my daily car (e39 BMW) I use Michelin CrossClimate tires, because it doesn't get realy hot or really snowy here (North-Western Europe). As for all seasons, they are considered pretty good.

But I put some pilot sport 4s on the sti for the first time this year and... What can you say, it's a completely different car. For handling, it shares absolutely nothing in common with the same car on economy tires.

I like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. It's a well-rounded performance tire. Track ready, great handling wet and dry, comfortable on the road, 30k mi treadlife.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+'s, MUCH better than the Falkens that came with the car.

I have a 1997 Town & Country with its original Michelin spare on a full size steelie and I thought this was already old enough.

Bottom line for me, the Michelins haven't stood up in the desert heat and I've had them as OEM tires on a few vehicles. By 25,000 - 30,000 miles the rubber is cracking. How safe is that? Once again, I'm just sharing my perspective from my personal experience. Everyone else can do what they think is right.
