I just replaced my Michelin Premiere LTX on my 2012 Murano a few thousand miles ago or so.
In my opinion, they were great performing tires. My experience has been completely different than the other poster who said they were poor in cornering and quick maneuvers. I drive windy mountain roads in Appalachia all the time, and they did great in the corners. It might have to do with my tires having not much sidewall (P235/55R20), though.
They were excellent in the rain, even in standing water. I'd crank through fairly deep puddles and it wouldn't even as much as pull. Great hydroplaning resistance.
Snow.. they were about as good as you can really expect without a winter-rated tire. They did get me through weekly 400 miles trips from North Central WV to Northern Virginia every week last winter, without any worries.
Should be just replacing the factory PSC2s with PS4s. The difference in wear is pretty huge, and unless you're at 10/10 the performance difference is worth the $$ savings
Have a 2017 Volt in Ottawa for the last 2+ years.
- Summer range is about 100km and winter range is about 65km
- Have a home charger so I don’t rely much on the chargers around the city. It is convenient at IKEA and the few other places.
- Totally worth having it as I used to spend about $220 a month in gas and that equates to about $25 a month in electricity.
- We have Michelin X-ice 3 tires and it works great in winter. Something useful about electric cars is that they are quite heavy due to the batteries so it assists with the traction.
I went with 225/40R18 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 on 18x8 BBS SR. Even these are pretty wide if you're doing a lot of snow driving, but I'm almost always on asphalt so I wanted dry traction and braking too.
Ran Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 on my Audi, amazing tire if you HAVE TO have 19s
Going from my pilot super sports to a set of alpine pa4 snow tires on my FoRS was a pretty noticable change... Turns out sticky summer tires don't really grip on any amount of snow or black ice, and proper winter tires really really grip on snow and ice.
Putting Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on the Mustang, costs an arm and leg for 19" wheels but I understand the hype now. The grip is phenomenal and the wet weather handling is so much more confidence inspiring vs the Indy 500 tires, which were good tires to begin with imo.
Only after 3 months replaced with Yokohama Advan Sport A/S.
Current review on them is:
Dry pavement: A+ (I can take turns like a race driver on bare pavement and still feel safe)
Wet Pavement: B (Only problem I’ve had starting aggressively is on wet pavement with road markings on them, seems good on corners and doesn’t hydroplane on really wet pavement, but loses traction with hard braking on very wet pavement)
Roughish Roads: A- (my car has low clearance and low profile tires but got by easily on FS roads with medium rocks and being careful. It gets the minus because after driving 75 miles on semi rough FS roads and getting back to pavement, I pulled to the side of the highway and had a metal chunk lodge into the sidewall ruining the tire)
Went from some random all seasons that the prior owner had, to Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Now I have the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
My first set of marketed LRR tires were Michelin Energy MXV4+ on my MKIV Golf. Admittedly they were great tires in dry and wet until they had some miles on them and went to hell in a handbasket.
