Tires MICHELIN or OEM Mazda

Inner rear tires were down to the cords so I needed new tires. Had an alignment done with the adjustable arms and wanted to go wider to fill out the rim and provide some curb protection.

No efficiency data yet but it's so smooth and quiet compared to the stock tires.

Brother, be realistic. Your Michelin Road 6 is no track tire. Far from a high performance tire that anyone should be running crazy high speeds on! That is 100% patchable and would be just fine for the life of the tire.

I have Michelin cross climate 2's. Been about 3, maybe almost 4yrs now. About 35k miles put on them. Maybe a bit more? Threads are still pretty good.

If you only do pavement the michelins are by far the best quiet and smooth. Also do great in snow an water.

Michelin Pro Sport Tires! Hands down

I had stock pirellis on my S4 (yeah I realize this is a Porsche sub). Switched to Michelin PS4s and never went back. Very noticeable difference in quality, grip, performance, quietness, and smoothness. They lasted a bit longer than the Pirellis too.

4S’s were game changing.

Depends on what you want and what you value, but I put Michelin’s on all of my cars. The ride is better, the handling is better, and they typically wear better.

Yep, I tracked these tires! They lasted 2 track days on my IS350. At novice speeds.

I liked the A/S 4 on the road. There was a time I had them on 3 different cars, because it kept braking performance consistent in any weather condition. It make for a nice and idiot-proof configuration for aggressive backroads bombing.

I moved to aftermarket wheels and changed tires and have seen a fairly significant drop in efficiency. I'm in a 23 Lariat and with the following modifications I see a about 1.7 mi/kwh now.
