Tires MICHELIN or OEM FORD

Michelin Defender LTX M/S. They are silky smooth on the highway and very capable off-road. The downside is, they don't have an aggressive look, if that's what you're going for.

My M3 came with PS4S with the factory and when it's time for new tires I'll be replacing them with the same tires. They have been great overall and even though we got a bit of rain here this season in CA I didn't have any problems with them

The last set of Michelin pilot sport's I had, I could drive in the wet like I did in the dry, with the absolute confidence my car would handle exactly as I expected it to, with no aqua plaining.

Michelin Defenders are the best tire you can get in my opinion. If you don’t need all terrains, it’s Defenders every day all day. I’ve had a dozen sets on various vehicles and they are simply the best.

My daily truck has Michelins on it, and they are the best tire I've ever had on it.

I put those Michelins on my 2019 1500, so far very pleased with quality, mileage, and winter traction in the Great Lakes region

Just got a new set of Michelin PS4's to replace my rotting and very hard old set of Bridgestone Potenzas. So far so good, the car rides MUCH better now and grip is a lot better.

Michelins PS5 are available here in 215/45/17 size (also nonRF), which based on several reviews it should fit perfectly (Michellins PS5 are naturally narrower than any other tires and come with no tire protector, so the size won't be all that much different than my current Toyos which are wide as hell outside of the thread + my car is lowered & cambered, and I am running 20mm spacers which can be removed if needed, so no issue with fitting), and this is going to be my next purchase -> unconditionally the best UHP tire I can get in this size on this market - I am currently running them on a C43 and I am in love (4S in this size range are not available).

They’re meh, I went from having Michelin crossclimates on my 2010 to the OEM tires on my new OB. They do OK in snow, good in rain.

I have the Michelin on my mk6 Golf R. I absolutely HATE them. Noisy when new an produce a vibration/buzzing sound that is maddening at highway speeds. The wear is so/so, but they are getting noisier with wear. Never again.
