Request for opinions on tires, please.

I am now using Bridgestone tires on my 2016 SLK 300 AMG Sport. They are satisfactory. Relatively quiet and fairly comfy. Nonetheless, I remain unconvinced about their grip levels, especially under wet or slippery road conditions. I recently had a failure of the NSF wheel speed sensor, which disabled the ABS, stability control, and many other unexpected functions, including an alert to reduce speed when I was parked and attempting to raise the roof. Had to deactivate the engine, re-engage the ignition and raise the roof using the batteries. Following a period of rainfall, I exited a roundabout at 3 o'clock, exhibiting a degree of overzealousness with the accelerator. An spectacular 'tank slapper' occurred, which I barely managed to control. No. 2 Son (GR Yaris) advocates for Michelin Pilot Sports; nonetheless, what suggestions do you have for optimising traction? As a lifetime automotive enthusiast, I now drive seldom, averaging around 5,000 to 6,000 miles annually. All feedback is appreciated.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires on my 2019 E63S estate perform well, save for occasional skipping at low speeds on cold tires during winter. However, I also own a set of winter tires that I swap to when this issue becomes excessive.

Numerous advice from other users are available (also refer to the approximately three million other tire topics on this forum).However, after an incident over the weekend, I can unequivocally state "no" to the Chinese Autogreen tires. A buddy just acquired a pristine 318i coupe equipped with a pair of these aesthetically pleasing tires, which are evidently brand new and installed to ensure compliance with the MOT before to sale at little cost. They are not outdated inventory, since they have a date stamp from late 2024. He is having them replaced this week. He visited and took me on a drive just to demonstrate their poor performance. I have had many Chinese tires; now, my E350 CDI is equipped with a set of "Sunwide" rear tires, installed by the previous owner for the MOT. To be honest, I intended to replace them, but they are satisfactory.I anticipated his tires to be subpar but acceptable for the price; nevertheless, that was not the case. Intimidating is the term; it was arid and refined. The formidable 318i engine could effortlessly surpass traction even at moderate cornering velocities, and at the very least, it provided enough auditory warning before to losing control.They are, in fact, consistently audible. Those tires have endowed the automobile with the capacity for simultaneous oversteer and understeer! The owner possesses considerable driving expertise and enjoys utilising the vehicle's capabilities, having been well-instructed. However, a typical budget-conscious driver, using the vehicle for family transportation, could easily encounter perilous situations if opting for those tires. It is astonishing that they remain available for sale. Unpleasant...avoid!

Simultaneous oversteer and understeer? Is it not more accurately described as moving laterally?

I have installed Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tires on many vehicles over the last few years. Silent, comfortable, excellent wear rates, and superior traction in both dry and wet conditions.

We used ContiSport 5P tires on Angie's SLK55, which exhibited excellent grip until excessively challenged.

'Four-wheel drift'?

Thank you! I will certainly refrain from using those Chinese tires. I do not want conventional 'tank slappers'!
