Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA

Just replaced the old ones on my mk7 with the same, I’ve always preferred Michelin Pilot Sport, old ones were 3’s new ones 4’s, bit different tread design but still a quiet highway cruise.

Winter setup is Michelin x-ice.

Just upgraded to some better tires (Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 225 /40 R18 92Y XL BSW). Coming from some Walmart achilles tires.

These tires are really grippy I can launch the car without any spin. Man this thing pulls and I drastically improved my 0-60.

Been running yokohama advan sports on my GTI for 3 years and they are solid for the money. They aren't as good as my Michelins but for daily driving you would never know. If you drive hard they will talk and are reliable about the break away point and don't do anything you don't expect which is what I want just can't cut a corner quite as good as my Mich on my R32.

I went with the Michelin Defenders 2 and am so glad I made this decision. Nice smooth quiet ride. Handles bumps and potholes like a champ. Braking is better than stock Toyos.

We replaced the Toyos at 38k miles with 3/32 on them, got Michelin Defender 2s and they’re night and day different

Went with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires which seem quieter to me.

Ich bin ganz zufrieden mit den Crossclimate. Die erkaufen sich ihre lange Haltbarkeit und gute Performance bei Trockenheit aber mit Schwächen bei Nässe.

2019 stock tires sounded and handled great but were soft and didn't last long. I was buying new before 35K.

I felt that the tires were too hard and were easy to make noise with and kind of slide. I got tired of it and put on some temp tires until the tread wore out.
