Well balanced, but poor wet/snow performance

by choongster , Dec 08 '03
Pros: Smooth ride, excellent handling (on dry conditions) and quiet
Cons: Fair wet handling; dismal snow handling
This is the stock tire on my 99 Civic Si, and I've driven on them in Chicago for four years. I don't aspire to be a Boy-Racer or a Riceboy, but I do corner somewhat agressively (what fun is having a Civic Si if you can't be wanton sometimes?). ...

Great tire

by symbolologist , Nov 17 '00
Pros: Quality, safety, economy over time.
Cons: Must budget for them.
I have these tires on our 1994 Toyota Corolla. I have driven 85000 km on them and I expect them to last for another 20000. The roads I drive are on the Prairies and West coast which includes the Mountain passes.The roads include the following conditions...

Application, Application, Application

by twoturn , Oct 12 '00
Pros: Relatively inexpensive for performance, great handling in higher temps, strong sidewalls
Cons: hard compound that is not forgiving in the colder climates
Perhaps you owe it to yourself to consider what application is best for this tire. Like in Real Estate its location, location, location. You wouldn't put a large theme park in the middle of the Sahara, so why would you ask a performance tire to prance...

Pure Satisfaction

by mkiwama , Feb 09 '03
Pros: Excellent traction and handling in cold and wet winter conditions.
Cons: Expensive- but I have only just bought them; time will tell!
I just moved to the Atlantic coast of Canada and was persuaded by the BMW dealership to throw a set of Michelins on to replace my well worn Continental TouringContact All Seasons (which I was not at all satisfied with). I had been running my 1994 BMW...

Poor tire

by sjlee , Sep 07 '00
Pros: Very good mileage
Cons: Expensive; sub-par traction in all conditions
The original tires on my 1995 Acura Integra GSR were the Michelin XGT V4, which I will never purchase nor recommend.

First of all, they are expensive. They cost about $125 a piece.

Next, even though they are labeled all-season,...

Wasted Money

by sea_kayak , Jun 25 '01
Pros: Not much
Cons: Handling, Wear, Price
The Michelin XGT V4's came standard on my 1996 Acura Integra.

These tires wear out like they were made of butter. I am a relatively calm driver and had to put on new ones after just 35,000 miles. Because of the terrible selection of...

repeat

by CashBackNow , Aug 02 '00
Pros: good in snow and rain
Cons: expensive, rides hard
since epinions has some for of confusion with their topics.
this is my XGT V4 opinions:
these tires are great. they came stock on my volvo s70 T-5. I can floor the car, no squeal. but what i love is that they handle really well in the rain. the...

Michelin really screwed up on this one.

by pezzy , Apr 26 '01
Pros: Aggressive look.
Cons: Very poor traction and they wore out real quick.
My car came standard with these tires (1997 Acura Integra GSR) and personally it was probably the biggest mistake ever made. First and foremost the traction on these tires in wet, icy or snowy conditions is pretty much non-existent. Couple that...

Not too impressive for my Acura
by juice786 ,Aug 07 '06
Pros: Shiny and new
Cons: Terrible winter and wet performance Unstable cornering Expensive Excessive tread wear
These tires have lasted me about 60K on my Integra...at close to $180Cdn/piece, i feel this was an incredible waste of money...
Going on with the theme of application, I live where snow can get real bad at some points in the winter and these tires, even when new, did not offer satisfactory performance on ice or snow. Braking was awful, thank god for my ABS...cornering generally is unstable and causes the tires to wear extremely quickly
I bought these tires at the recommendation of the dealership (theyre always out to get you, never trust em)
This summer, hydroplaning became a scary issue...felt like i was floating on the road at some points...very dangerous
I would not recommend these tires at all...absolute garbage
