Put Defender LTX M/S on mine a year ago. You can't go wrong with a good set of Michelin tires for comfort and reduced road noise.Put new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4s all around! After Discount Tire got the balancing right (it took two times), it drives like a dream!
Great tire, have 'em on my land barge too.
I had the DWS08's on the car immediately before the PS A/S4's, and those were nowhere near as good of a tire. I might agree with the responsiveness comment, maybe, but I believe it's more a perception due to the Continental being less forgiving on the wheel alignment and as such will tend to follow road irregularities more. It makes it feel 'alive'. As far as handling performance, the Pilots are superior. They hold and drive better in all conditions and are far more predictable at the limit. The Continental would roll over and shrink the contact patch well before the Michelins. In the wet there is no contest, the Michelin wins hands down - accel, braking, and cornering. Biggest benefit IMHO to the Continental is purchase price, but they also didn't wear anywhere near as long as the Michelins. I got 14.7k on the Continentals before hitting the wear bars, and I'm already over that on the Michelins with probably half the tread left.
Looking forward to seeing this!!
Does that arctic freeze stuff really work?
No. I guess I should start one.Looking forward to seeing this!!
Is there a thread on it?
Yes...yes you should!No. I guess I should start one.
I had a set of these put on the Tacoma to replace the original tires. The road noise is less at interstate speed than the Bridgestone tires they replaced. I've always had good tire life and performance from Michelin tires.Put new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4s all around!
