Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

I purchase michelin tires because they are used on airplanes, the space shuttle, and formula one cars (formerly).

Basically got all the Red Bull/Vettel Era Sponsors covered, drink tons of Red Bull, wear an Edifice Watch, sport Geox Shoes, Pepe Jeans, have Pirelli Tires and even bought an Infiniti.

And of course better tires - upgraded to Michelin Premiers for best suite of AS characteristics.

I bought Michelin PSS due to everyone online telling me to and HOLY SHIT. Best tires ever

I was looking for the same size but Kijiji'ed a 1-year old set of Pirelli Winter Carvings, on steelies, for 340. Checked the wheels for rust/cracks, treads, consistent pressure across tires.

If you don't need deep snow traction, go with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4. I run them on my sports cars. Excellent cold weather and rain traction. Quiet. Good in light snow and slush.

Xice3 for me. Giant difference.

+1 to the Nokian's if you just need one tire. Personally, keep the stock tire and get some snows for winter use. Been using the Michelin X-Ice3's and they are fantastic and a hell a lot cheaper than the comparible Hakka R series.

I have 36k on the OEM P-Zeros on my Mk6 GTI and they are at 3/32", so its time for new shoes. Overall, not a bad tire, especially for the money.

I had Pirelli Winter Carving Edge tires on my MK6 for four winters - they sucked!
