Tires MICHELIN or Vredestein

I put on a set of CrossClimate2's and have been very very happy.

IIRC, my Dad's 2011 v6 Mustang, came from Ford with Michelin Energy Savers.

I have GMC 3500HD SRW with almost 50k on OEM Michelin tires. There's still pretty good tread on them.

Michelin AS4s for year-round work fine for me, although I live in the midwest. But as long as you're smart and aren't trying to be the first one on the road before the plow trucks make their rounds, I've never had an issue.

I've been looking for these for a long time and bought a brand new set in January. Great winter tires!

Go with the Vredestein. It has consistently been rated excellent with no drawbacks, whereas the Pirelli has gotten criticized for subpar wet traction.

I put pilot sport 4s on my 2014 GT and love them. I stayed away from the run flats and they provide great feedback.

I have had a few cars with continental extreme contacts and loved them. I have a 23 Mach 1 that came with Pilot 4S tires, they are simply amazing. They grip the road like glue and there is zero chatter when cornering hard. I would definitely go with the 4S.

Currently I have Michelin CrossClimate but, in my opinion they are not as good as Defenders.

Our '11 Yaris came with these in a T-rated 185/60-15 with 160 treadwear. They had some tread left but were super unsafe by 20k miles (no traction on wet roads and uncontrollable axle hopping wheelspin with light acceleration). Total throwaway trash tires: super loud, no grip, harsh riding.
