Sharing a quick tire review

Howdy all,

Just wanted to share real quick for anyone shopping tires. I live in Snohomish County Washington, eastside of Seattle. Picked up a RWD 2016 535 a few months ago.

I almost didn't buy it because I wanted X-Drive, even though this one had everything I wanted with options and color combo.

As soon as I bought, I put on the Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4s. Of course, we are now in rains every day season here, and November was record. Have to tell you, these things GRIP! I'm stock except aftermarket CP, but man I can floor this thing on wet roads and they grip.

I don't plan on, or want this to me a snow car as I have an F-150 but wanted to share if you are thinking of getting these they made a HUGE difference for grip, it's really amazing.

(I received no royalties for typing this, just wanted to share )

Yeah Michelin is a very good tyre, I only have them on my motorbike and the M3, they grip and perform extremely well. They are also long lasting too for normal driving, so money well spent/invested.

FYI, still VERY underwhelming in real snow. I only run mine for 3 seasons and then switch to winter tires.

Yeah, this will be sitting in the garage if it snows here, we usually get 1-2 snow storms a year here.

My F-150 is lifted w/Ridge Grapplers, I think I'll be ok. :-)

It's perfect for the states that sit in that funk between real snow and no snow, e.g. NJ, lower NY, etc.

LOL! Can't imagine driving an F10 in real snow anyways, it would be plowing in any substantial snow.

Not only did they make a difference from the stock Goodyear RFTs that came with the car, but they are quieter and give a more compliant ride. These are my go to tires after the stock ones wear down on all my vehicles. Love them as well as a fellow resident of the PNW.

Right on! I work in Kirkland, live in North Creek! Looks like we have the same car too, I thought I'd drive my truck most of the winter but this thing is a beast on wet roads!
