Tires MICHELIN or SUMITOMO

MICHELIN 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.

Pros: excellent cold weather traction
Cons: light snow and slush

+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.

Pros: fantastic, cheaper than Hakka

Rating 4.0

The Sumitomo HTRs are pretty good. Either the A/S P02 or the Z III. The Z IIIs are a bit sportier, and the P02s are solid all seasons with a 500 treadwear rating and a W speed rating. They also grip impressively well for a set of fairly cheap all seasons.

Pros: grip impressively well

The AS remind me of all of my Pilot experiences in the wet. But I am cautious when probing limits on public roads; I have yet to experience these in the wet on roads that I know well. I really want to feel how these break loose - sudden or gradual - after loosing traction on wet roads. But they do continue to impress me, far beyond the Pirellis.

Pros: impressive wet performance
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I have them on my 86. The sidewalls are OK, not great. They do leave something to be desired as far as cornering, as they seem to break loose with little warning.

Pros: sidewalls are OK
Cons: break loose easily, poor cornering
