Michelin Tire Choices for my W124 Coupe
I'm going to buy a new set of 15" tires right now since I can't make up my mind on what upgraded rims I want. I have the standard 15 hole 15 x 6.5 rims. I was thinking of getting 205/60/VR15 instead of the 195/65/VR15. I have a credit with Michelin that I want to use, but all the reviews that I have read about Michelin are bad
. Has Michelin gone down hill? I was considering the Pilot XGT V4. What do you guys think?
This is what the Michelin website recommends:
http://www.michelinman.com/mastapp/servlet/Controller/site.toolkit.advisor.ShowResults?vehicle=10891&source=TAHP
Here is what they have that fits my car:
195/65/15 91H -Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus or
195/65/15 89V -Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus or
215/60/15 94H -Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus
----------------------------------------
195/65/15 91V -Michelin Energy MXV4 S8 (OEM)
----------------------------------------
195/65/15 91V -Michelin Pilot Primacy
----------------------------------------
195/65/15 89H -Michelin Pilot XGT H4 or
215/60/15 93H -Michelin Pilot XGT H4
----------------------------------------
215/60/15 93V -Michelin Pilot XGT V4
The other alternative would be from BFGoodrich since Michelin is the parent company.
205/60/15 91V -g-Force ™ Sport
----------------------------------------
195/65/15 91H -Traction T/A® H/V -This is the only tire with a warranty
205/60/15 91H -Traction T/A® H/V -Warrany is 60,000 miles
215/60/15 94H -Traction T/A® H/V
