Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA

I bought Michelin’s for the 987 and 3 were current year, 1 was 3 years old. The vendor took the old one back and sent a new one as well as paid shipping within 4 days....... Most decent tire shops will move enuf volume that stuff is new..... the odd one slips by. I like new stuff, but if the 5's aren't available in the size you want its not like the last model wasn't awesome.

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 is what I just bought and I couldn't be happier. Great for dry and wet areas. They are pricey but definitely worth it.

Your tires are fine, but I'd recommend the Michelin CrossClimate 2 for perhaps the best all-weather set on the market

Have cc2 on a Hyundai Sonata, great tire, using in Saskatchewan, minimal noise. Strongly recommend,

Michelin Defender 2 tires is the way to go. One of the best tires of all time

4th winter with these, Montréal, Québec. Can’t barely see the difference with winters. 2025 Golf GTI, It’s the driver stupid…

I just got some on my Lexus. Drive wonderful. Zero noise complaints from my end, granted Lexus has really good sound proofing in the cab.

Tinted windows and Michelin Defenders after the OEM tires crapped out around 20k miles were also big improvement’s.

I now drive on x-ice snow, and I don’t have a comparison (I buy new winter tires every 6 years or so on different vehicles) but I do find the x-ice snow to lose grip somewhat rapidly at the limit, and prefer a more gradual slip at limit.

I got the Kia Niro EV used. It came with Michelin Primacy MXV4. If I drive in Normal mode or Sport mode, they slip with even moderate amounts of acceleration.
