Your favorite DD tires

Michelin PSSs are Effin SWEET. Got them for less than a grand, they're extremely responsive, and perform pretty well in the wet. Highly recommended.

I have Michelins PSS on the back and I think they're making a bit of highway noise. Although I think that's kind of expected as they get a bit older, especially because of the cuped design.

Mine are pretty new (don't even have them on right now -> snow tires) but I'll keep a look out for that as they age.

I'm on a set of JOKE ahama avid envigors (not entirely by choice, got two for free) and they are ok at best. Half decent in the dry, reasonable grip, you can tell when they start to struggle. I will say though they are very nice in wet conditions. Pretty slippy in the snow compared to some other tires I've driven with, however good for drifting There are better options out there.

I'm still very happy with my Kumho Ecsta 4x. They do seem to have less grip in sub-freezing temps and they do flat spot when they sit for two days. But the same is true for a lot of tires. The price to performance ratio is just about perfect for me. When I transitioned into using my ZHP as a year-round daily driver that ruled out summer UHP tires. There's only a handful of A/S UHP tires to choose from and they're all probably just fine for most of us. I take exception to the assumption that because Michelins are more expensive they are more appropriate for our cars or safer. I've driven many brands and types of tires on many cars and truthfully most of them are fine. There are things you like about each and things you don't. I could've afforded to put Michelin PS A/S on instead but I decided not to - the price was almost double the Kumhos. The real-world difference between them does not reflect that.

Tires are incredibly important to the safety of your car. Buy the best you can afford. But don't assume the most expensive is the best for everyone.

^Definitely. I am tempted by the A/S 3s.

We'll see how I'm feeling when the Khumos finally give up. If wear doesn't accelerate I've got well over a year left on them.

Does your car see any usage in the winter at all?
If not, you should consider summer tires.

I have it in my head that you don't drive it in the winter. Correct?

[kayger12]

It does, but it doesn't see rain or snow.

I thought about going summers but wasn't sure about running them in colder temps even if the road is dry.

You think it's an option?

If you do drive it in the winter then I would say no to summers. They are useless below 45-ish degrees.

No dice then. I drive it less, but I definitely drive it.
