Rating 5.0

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.

Pros: very good in rain, very grippy
Cons: stiffen up in cold weather

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.

Pros: good for all weather
Cons: risky all year round

I will cast my vote for the Michelin PS4S. I had a manufacturing defect on a set of Michelin's on my NSX. Upon my return they replaced all 4 tyres as the tread pattern had changed.

Pros: generous comp plan
Cons: manufacturing defect
Vehicle: Acura NSX

SUMITOMO Tires

I had sumitomo ASPO3 on my Honda Accord and they were honestly really good tires The asymmetrical tread pattern did very well in the wet and light to moderate snow, I would purchase them again.

Pros: good in wet, good in snow

I replaced my stock Toyo 19’s last spring with Michelin defender’s. Much more comfortable, but I find that the car doesn’t handle as well (doesn’t feel as responsive), which is what attracted me to the car when I bought it.

Pros: much more comfortable
Cons: handling not as good

I’ve had these for about 18 months / 15K miles on my 18’ AWD LX and I can’t say I’m a fan. Although they are amazing in the rain. I ironically wish for rain sometimes for longer trips because they drive SO much better on wet pavement compared to dry.

- The road noise is ridiculous on an AWD model.

- They’re wearing very fast for tires with only 15K.

- Drop in fuel efficiency once installed (~2MPG drop).

- Rocks, twigs, and everything else you can imagine get stuck in the grooves and can lead to a rough ride.

Pros: amazing in the rain
Cons: road noise is ridiculous
