Tire Selection

[ravenclaw]

Hi Guys
I own a ZHP since July,2014. I had a new pair of BF Goodrich KDW-2 Tires on my rear, but had excessive wear within 7k-8k miles they r out of use. Contacted BFGoodrich and they have offered me a $200 credit for the next set of tires i buy. I stay at Columbus, Indiana. The place i stay had 4 months of winter and recieves abt low to moderate amount of snow. My problem is to choose my next set of tires. Shud i go in a purchase Michellin Pilot Super Sport (summer) or shud i choose Michelin A/S 3 with 45k miles warrenty? Any inputs would be helpful in selecting my tires. I cant find much abt A/S 3 reviews in winter (snow). Thank in advance.!!

PSS and winters is probably your safest bet. You could go AS if you have an alternate vehicle for winter or are brave! Conti DWS are a good bet.

Got mine in a couple of weeks ago. They need a little time to adjust and get better. At first they were not that responsive and now, at ~800 miles, they are very nice, tight and quiet. Good purchase.

When I was at Michelin's event last year, they said that tires are at 100% performance right out of the box. They do not need any break-in whatsoever. They said this applies to all tires, not just Michelin.

It's possible what you felt was temperature difference or other environmental variables.

^ well I'll be! Thought I felt a difference, it was colder initially, could be that.
Those butt-dyno numbers never feel that solid.
