WHY CHOOSE MICHELIN TIRES?

- Longevity and Durability: Michelin tires are known for their long tread life and durability. The company utilizes advanced tire technologies and high-quality materials to enhance tire longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Michelin tires often have a reputation for lasting longer than many competitor brands.
- Fuel Efficiency: Michelin is committed to developing fuel-efficient tires that help reduce fuel consumption and lower carbon emissions. Their tires are designed to minimize rolling resistance, improving fuel economy without compromising performance.
MICHELIN: TIRES FOR EVERY REASON
Michelin winter tires promise comfort on snowy and icy roads. Exclusive tire tread improves braking force, reduces tire blowout risks, and increases tire life.

Michelin Tire Models We Recommend Most Often
Michelin offers a wide lineup, but the right model depends heavily on what the vehicle is used for. A BMW M
car, Porsche 911, Tesla Model Y, Toyota RAV4, Ford F-150, Mercedes SUV, and Honda Civic do not need the
same Michelin tire.
Below are the Michelin models we most commonly discuss with customers and where each one makes the
most sense.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is one of the most respected max-performance summer tires available for
performance street use. It is designed for drivers who want sharp steering, high-speed confidence, strong
dry grip, wet braking performance, and a tire that still behaves properly on the road.

traction and braking performance. This allows the tire to perform strongly in spirited driving while still
being usable in real-world wet conditions.
Road and Occasional Track Use
This tire is not a dedicated track tire like the Pilot Sport Cup 2, but it is an excellent option for customers
who want one tire that can handle aggressive road driving and occasional performance use without
sacrificing everyday comfort as much as a more track-focused tire.

Michelin Tire Homologation: Why OE Markings Matter
Performance Winter Tire for High-Performance Cars and OEApplications
Not all Michelin tires with the same model name and size are exactly the same. Many Michelin performance and premium tires are developed with vehicle manufacturers and may carry specific OE homologation markings.
Homologation means the tire was approved or developed for a specific vehicle manufacturer or vehicle platform. These markings can affect tire construction, compound, sidewall stiffness, rolling resistance, noise, ride feel, steering response, and the way the tire works with the vehicle’s suspension and stability systems.
Common OE markings include:
- Porsche:
N0, N1, N2, NA0, NF0, etc. - BMW:
Star Marking / ★ - Mercedes-Benz / AMG:
MO, MO1, MO-S - Audi:
AO, RO1, RO2 - Tesla:
T0, T1, T2 depending on application - Ferrari:
K markings - General OE markings:
Manufacturer-specific codes depending on tire and vehicle
Why This Matters
A Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in the correct size may not be the exact same tire as the Michelin Pilot Sport 4Swith the proper Porsche N-marking, BMW star marking, or Mercedes MO marking. For daily drivers, thismay not always be critical. For performance vehicles, EVs, staggered setups, and vehicles originallyengineered around a specific Michelin tire, it can make a noticeable difference.
At Local Tire Guys, we help customers determine when homologation matters and when a non-OE Michelinreplacement is acceptable.
When We Strongly Recommend Matching Homologation
- Porsche, BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Audi RS, Ferrari, Corvette, and other high-performance vehicles
Staggered wheel and tire setups - Vehicles under factory warranty where tire specification matters
- EVs where noise, rolling resistance, and load rating are important
- Customers replacing only two tires on a vehicle with existing homologated tires
- Vehicles with sensitive AWD systems

We recommend considering an alignment if:

- The vehicle pulls left or right
- The steering wheel is off-centre
- Suspension or steering components were recently replaced
- You are installing expensive performance tires
- You are installing Michelin tires on a lowered, modified, luxury, or performance vehicle

Michelin Tires for Electric Vehicles
Michelin offers many EV Ready tires, and EV tire selection should not be treated the same as a basic gas vehicle tire quote.
EVs often need tires that can handle:
- Higher vehicle weight

Michelin Tire FAQ
Are Michelin tires worth the money?
For many customers, yes. Michelin tires are often chosen for their balance of safety, wet performance, treadlife, comfort, and vehicle-specific engineering. They are not always the cheapest tire, but they are usuallyone of the strongest choices when the customer wants long-term value and premium performance.
What is the best Michelin tire for daily driving?
For many daily drivers, the Michelin Defender2, Primacy All Season, Primacy MXM4, or CrossClimate2 arethe most relevant options. The best choice depends on whether you prioritize tread life, comfort, year-round snow capability, or OE-style ride quality.
What is the best Michelin tire for performance cars?
For premium performance street use, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is one of the strongest choices. For newerOE-specific sports car applications, the Pilot Sport S 5 may be required. For track-focused use, the Pilot SportCup 2 is the more aggressive option.
What is the best Michelin winter tire?
For maximum winter safety and daily winter driving, the Michelin X-Ice Snow+ is a strong option. Forperformance vehicles, the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 or Pilot Alpin PA4 may be a better fit because they providewinter traction while maintaining more performance-oriented handling.
Is Michelin CrossClimate2 a winter tire?
The Michelin CrossClimate2 is an all-weather tire with the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating. It is winter-rated, but it is not the same as a dedicated winter tire like the X-Ice Snow+. It is best for customers whowant one year-round tire with better snow capability than a traditional all-season tire.
Do I need Michelin homologated tires?
Sometimes. If your vehicle originally came with Porsche N-marked, BMW star-marked, Mercedes MO/MO1,Audi AO/RO, Tesla T-marked, or another OE-specific Michelin tire, matching that homologation can be important. This is especially true for performance vehicles, EVs, staggered setups, and AWD vehicles.
