Tires MICHELIN or OEM Volkswagen

I just replaced my Dunlops that came with my 2015 GT after 40k miles about a few weeks ago. I got the Michelin tires after doing my own research, and I'm pretty happy that I did. I'm in my car roughly two hours a day commuting to work, and I think they grip better and are noticeably quieter than the OEMs.

The michelins are better than the dunlops in every other way. I have 25k on mine and rotate them every 7k ish. Each with an oil change.

Ours will be getting Michelin Premiers (have great wet traction) in the next year or so as the OEM Continentals are just okay.

I got new tires at about 35k miles because those were trash. Got Michelin defenders. 20k miles on them and still look like brand new tread.

The winter tires - Michelins - got about 10k put on them.

Here are OEM Conti 5p and Michelin P4S in 235/35/19 mounted on VMR 710FF 19x8.5 et45. OEM Conti’s are a little stretched. But not bad. I ran the wheels that way for two summers before installing the Michelins. The Michelins run a little wider so they are squared off more.

Went with Michelin Latitude X-ice in stock 18\" size, on Sport Edition F5 wheels. Package from Tire Rack - they come mounted and balanced at not charge, and Michelin had a $70 rebate on 4 tires. Wish we'd had more snow this year! In the little we had they worked very well.

I have Michelin Super Sports on one of my cars and Continental GXs on my other, faster car, and I vastly prefer the Michelins.

Went with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S! They are great tires though.

I was on coilovers for quite a long time and wanted to let everyone know that they cars will eat through rear tires rather quickly once lowered. After the coils were installed I had a proper alignment done ASAP, and noticed that in under 9,000 miles of 97% highway driving my Michelin Pilot Super Sports were just about bald from the inner tread block outward.
