SnowDrifter Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Looking for size P235/45R18. Need to be: All season, non-directional. High load rating is a plus, run flat is frowned upon but not a deal breaker. I'm looking for something with great wet performance and acceptable-good snow/ice performance. Pacific NW, lots of rain, lots of hills, occasional snow. Price per tire is a non issue. They're a safety item in my eyes. I will not risk hurting someone over a few bucks difference. I also don't care about tread life provided it lasts more than 40k miles. This is because I only drive around 6500 miles per year, my tires tend to age and crack faster than the tread wears down. I'm currently considering the following, in order from most likely to least: Continental DWS Nokian WRG3 Michelin Pilot MXM4 ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Michelin primacy mxv4. Continental pure contact. I loved Michelin tires on my bike. In my mind if they can make a bike stick like glue in the rain a car should be no issue. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

SnowDrifter Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Michelin is just a brand. Could mean anything. The weather wise I have on there right now act like they're bald if the road is even moist despite having 5/32 tread depth ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yeah it is just a brand but their top tier tires are very nice. I know what you're talking about, my van came with some tires that were pretty much brand new but they are absolutely horrible in even the tiniest amount of water on the road, it could even be just damp and they spin with light throttle. The tires you're looking at and my recomendations are all solid choices. Toyo proxies aren't too bad either.

STEvil Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Not sure if they're available in that size specifically, but I really like the Dick Cepek Fun Country tires on my truck. I've got 100,000km on them and there's still a bit to go yet. Never let me down in rain, snow, mud, and they grab pavement great too.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.
