Tires MICHELIN or SUMITOMO

I ended up replacing all 4 tires with Michelin Pilot sport AS4 and got the rims checked. Thankfully there is no damage to the rims ????.

Now I've been running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires year round for the last 4 years. I went from well used Michelin PS3 Summer tires to the A/S 4s and there wasn't a lot of difference in terms of grip. I've been very happy with the A/S 4, so I bought a second set earlier this spring. The ride is great, and I personally think they are 90% as good in the summer as the PS3s and in the wet they are awesome.

I put 16000 miles on my 2024 Signature. I went with Michelin Defenders 2. I’m happy with them.

Replaced those with Michelin PS AS4. Contis were quieter and a bit more comfortable than the Michelins; overall performance was similar and both played well in everyday street driving which included dry, wet and light to moderate snow in northern NJ, but I feel the Michelins had a slight edge in both traction and steering response.

Been running the Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires since. Close to 100k in 2 sets. Been great tires, mostly highway miles and used the 4x4 on a hunting trip, rain and some mud and handled great. Love the tires.

I ended up going down the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S route, although I put it off quite a bit longer than I had initially planned. I also ended up going with a 20 mm wider section than factory, for a 255/45-18 square setup. I spent the past Sunday bombing up and down some North Bay back roads, and now feel somewhat qualified to give an opinion. My thoughts are as follows: Overall, it's a pretty night-and-day difference. I didn't think the switch would be as immediately noticeable to a relative casual such as myself, but it absolutely is. It's improved flaws I assumed were intrinsic to the car, and didn't think could be resolved solely with tires; at least not to this extent. Some specifics include: Steering feel has greatly improved, loading up in the turns when it really didn't before. Steering remains relatively light overall, but now you can at least feel what the front end is doing in a corner. On-center feedback is similar, or maybe slightly worse than before, but overall I'd say it's more than a fair trade. There's so much more grip than before, especially noticeable up front. I've yet to get this car to understeer with these new tires on them. As I allude to in this post from last year, when I was on the old tires, I was consistently battling with the car pushing when driven hard. That's pretty much gone, and I'm not sure if the limits of the Michelins will be found by me; at least not on the street. Axle-hop is an issue I previously had to drive around; but that problem has been greatly reduced. I'm a little unsure of why this is (ChatGPT tells me the firmer sidewalls and extra grip of the Michelins should actually make this problem worse), but I promise it's better. I have only put a few hundred miles on these tires since getting them mid-June, so I really can't comment on things such as tire life or wet-weather ability. Road noise and comfort are good, but not really a noticeable change for me. I was a little nervous getting tires almost an inch wider than factory, I thought they might look goofy; but I honestly think most people would be fooled into believing they're OEM. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase; and I'd go so far as to say it's transformed my car. While my Mustang will always be a bit too heavy and wide to feel like a genuine sports car, it's now a much more willing participant on a back road and it is way easier to carry speed through the turns. An increase in turn-in ability at the front and a decrease in skittishness at the rear also make me a much more confident driver behind the wheel.

I LOVED my Michelin Crossclimate 2s! I hit a deer and totaled my sweet 2015 CX5, but I attribute my record braking time to those sweet tires. Worth every penny. Never felt unsafe during snow and ice, plowed through rain, and all around fabulous investment.

Eu am cumpărat Michelin Crossclimate și sunt foarte bune.

I had this Michelin PS4 too. After 11 tkm they looked like the tires from OP.

It was a Subaru wrx sti. And i live in Germany…

I absolutely hate Michelin. The sidewalls are terrible and you start seeing cracks in them way earlier than other brands that are much cheaper.
