Tires MICHELIN or WEST LAKE

Rp18 is the best of the low budget tires.

I’ve got those on my model S and they have held up as good or better than the Michelins and look great and ride smooth and quiet.

I always go for the Michelin Pilot 4 tires since they are consistently rated and reviewed the best.

Mich Cross Climate 2 if they are ever going to touch snow but also perform exceptionally well in rain. Not cheap, considered a luxury tire, but very quiet. They have a snowflake on them, but I see people all over New Mexico use them year round probably because of monsoon season. If you ever wished for a tire you would not have to change when winter is over this is it.

Michelin cross climate 2 is the master all season tire. People who say otherwise clearly don’t drive in the snow. It competes or even beats some snow tires in stopping distance. Oh, they are fun as hell to drive on. Ignores big puddles and slush outright.

Having run continental DWS 06s for many non-summers. And this past season trying the competing Michelin. My perception is that the Michelins are quieter on rough surfaces, chip seal etc...

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All Season. Second best all-season tire I’ve found. The best was the Vredestein Hypertrac, and it’s 20% cheaper than the rest.

Personally, I have always had really good results with Michelin, mostly good results with Yokohama (the S7 Advan tires were a little disappointing on my TL), mediocre results at best with Bridgestone, and generally bad results in Pirelli.

I had commander 2s on my V-Star 650 and commander 3s on my Road Star. They perform pretty similarly in my opinion. My only gripe with the 3s is that they get this harmonic resonance at certain speeds. I thought my engine was having a fit. Turns out it wasn't the engine, the 3s just like to hit that sweet spot and send vibrations in waves. It's hard to describe.

They’re absolutely terrible in the snow. I switched to Michelin CrossClimate 2’s.
