Michelin Pilot Super Sport vs. Continental ExtremeContact DWS

[FracaSHO]

I purchased the continental's. After 3 weeks I went back to Discount Tire and swapped them for the Michelins. The Conti's were to soft in the corners for my taste. But if you have dedicated winter tires, why don't you go with summer tires?

Brad... Did the ride stiffen any with the tire exchange?  seems like sidewalk stiffness may have been the biggest factor here.

Not really a stiffer ride. Just stiffer side walls. It was essentially a cornering issue for me. Everything else was the same on both tires.

Been traveling back and forth between Ohio and Michigan for work all winter. I ended up running the PSS all through this winter, although I wouldn't do it again. The car was still driveable but if I stepped on either pedal too hard, the car would slide. It was worst on packed snow or ice. I did however manage to get from Kalamazoo to Detroit through that massive storm in January that shut the state down for a couple days, but it took me almost twice as long. I'd say go with the Michelins, especially since you'll have dedicated winter tires.

... if you happen to get caught in a blizzard this summer, try to resist any WOT runs in 6 inches of snow or more and you should be fine.

Holy s***, the entire damn winter? Alright, if you can make it through a Michigan winter without killing yourself on the PSS's then I'm more than sure I'll be fine with whatever rogue snow might come may way in April, haha

I did make it all winter, but it was because I didn't have much of a choice. I'll tell you this much though, I wouldn't do it again..
