Ever since, I have had this thing for supple tires and I think the Michelin is the most supple tire you can buy. I didn’t choose the Michelin this time, however, because of the rain performance and the squealing.
Squealing from high speeds during cornering?
I do understand that the MXV4 are the oem tires for this car, but that was back in 1989. Things have changed now and there are new tires and new technologies. What do you think of the Michelin Pilot XGT in the H or V for example? They both have a similar name, but different tread design.
