Tires MICHELIN or PHANTOM

I run that exact tyre on my Merc E63 AMGs and like most people have said, easily the best performance tyres out there.

Awesome!

Like driving on a lake at day break.

Seriously.

After i bought my E53 i went back in a month later and replaced my Conti with the Michelin.

i love the 4s, they perform really good in anything. Good Braking, very good dry and wet traction.

great, they haven’t exploded in me at high speeds yet ????

Best tire in my opinion for daily driving before going to a 200 thread wear tire.

Very good in the rain, noise is as expected but not super loud, and very grippy when they’re hot. They stiffen up in cold weather.

Looks like Cup2 240s are available in the 225 size. Never used them but I'm a massive fan of the normal Cup2 on my 911.

If these tires are any good they are an incredible bargain.

For conditions like you’ll see in Ohio, I would not run these all year round. I think that’s too risky. If you want a single tire for all weather, get the Michelin Cross Climate 2.

The Michelins have a somewhat well-known delamination problem. I got them too from Costco on a Michelin month, and they are definitely a marked improvement over the stock tires in all regards. They're grippier in the dry and wet and quieter.

At first I thought they were decent but now at 20k miles they don't grip nearly as well, even with my AWD. I turned off traction control the other day and with a damp road (not raining) I did a 4 wheel burnout up to about 50 mph.
