Tires MICHELIN or WEST LAKE

Buy Michlin. Best money per mile. I ALWAYS get 90k+

I have Michelin PS A/S 4 on my STI and they are the best tires I've ever had. Wet traction and hydroplaning resistance was also much improved.

Michelin Primacy! Just changed my set from yokohama and the difference is evident.

Been using Michelin cross climate 2s for 3 winters. Been satisfied with the performance. previously used to do the all season and switch to dedicated winters which were nokian winters.

Maintenance on the car is minimal. Yes tires and brakes will go, but just put money away for those things. I changed from the OEM wheels and tires to 18s and now get 30k miles on Michelin PS4s.

I've never had a set of tires ever make it to their lesser 50-65k warranty mileage, until michelins, which have lasted longer than their 80k warranty for me, both defenders on compact car and ltx on 1/2 ton truck, and both were smoother and quieter.

New Michelin ps4s on my rsx type-s. World of difference over the crap it had on.

Went from 28lb OEM wheels --> 18lb aftermarket and OEM Goodyear Eagles to Michelin Pilot Sports, it's a night & day difference.

Picked up a new set of Cross Climate 2’s over the weekend. Handling is great, especially in the rain. Aesthetically, I think they look super cool and unique. They have an aggressive look to them.

That being said, I did not do my due diligence beforehand and let the guy at discount t*re give me the run down on them. One thing he failed to mention was the lack of efficiency they bring (not blaming him). In my first couple of drives I noticed my wh/mi to be well over 300 and in one instance on a 5 mile drive it was 395 wh/mi. Crazy! This is in comparison to my average of 252 wh/mi for the last 5k miles I’ve driven. It’s important to note that I like to accelerate fast and have had the heat on due to the cold weather coming in (Chicago native).

I wanted to see how much of a difference it made if I changed my driving habits so for the past 15 miles or so. I turned “chill” mode on and turned off the AC system and have averaged around 210 wh/mi. Nice to know that efficiency is still attainable just a bit sad that I will be losing 30%+ of range when driving how I normally do.

Hoping that with time they will break in and I will see that number go down a bit. I will update the thread as I put more miles on them.

These Michelin Primacy or whatever they are called are bad... Our car is due for new summer tires and they won't be Michelin. Michelin Corp has lost me as a potential customer forever.
