Tires MICHELIN or OEM Toyota

Also, to answer your question regarding the Michelin PSS - I made the switch from the stock all seasons over a year and a half ago...They absolutely transform the car. The stiffer sidewall increases steering feel and responsiveness, and the softer compound not only rides better but also grips like hell in the corners. Wet traction and confidence also increased significantly.

I've gotten Michelin Pilots fitted and can't go wrong, they're pretty decent tires.

+1 on PSS. Best all around tire with a perfect blend of dry and wet grip, turn in response, longevity, road noise, etc. I'm going to be grabbing my second set in a few days after getting 22,000 miles on my first.

I run Michelin X-Ice on my stock 17" wheels.

I've had very good luck when I have michelins on the car. Much better grip/wear/noise than the factory goodyears.

Michelin is better than Pirelli IMHO. I've had Michelin PSS tires on my Audi and they are great performers.

Tire technology keeps getting better and better, I guess the new Michelin PSS vs the old Pilot Sports is a good example. Better grip + better tire life, who could ask for more?

I've gotten close to 40k out of a set of PSS.

I'm guessing I'll probably be able to get about 25k miles out of my PSS.

They're not great but they are somewhat better than the Michelin MXV4 Plus tires that came with my Passat. I had HX MXM4's on 17\" Long Beaches from my 1.8T Jetta that I have been using on my TDI. Now that they've worn out, I've just replaced them with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions. These should give me the kind of cornering and wet weather grip the Michelins lacked.
