Well, you look back up the owner just want good aquaplaning tires. So the test results can show which tire is the better 1. Just a lot of people here think Michelin must be superior is everything, even comfort & silent which they campion long time also loss to Nexen..
As per cyapd feedback, Michelin now is like Apple going into branded category which sometime does not justify the high cost = high performance.
Well you started bashing Michelin using irrelevant examples too which were tests for Primacy 4 and PS4 which are not even available for TS size in 15'! So if you really want to go back to TS question, so what's your suggestion for TS size then?? Falken Ecorun? I suggest PS3 cuz I had used it before and I know how good it was in aquaplanning, beating all tires that I had used aside from maybe GY F1A3 and CSC5 which were not available too in 15'. Do you know if Ecorun is really better than PS3? As per cyapd feedback, Michelin now is like Apple going into branded category which sometime does not justify the high cost = high performance.
As for Nexen, it may beat Michelin in comfort in 1 or 2 tests but is it reliable enough? I've seen several times Nexen got bulging issues before. Does it excel in other criteria too, meaning overall well balanced performance across the board? How often a Nexen tires tops the ranking or within the top 5 in various tire tests by reputable reviewers?
I am not saying Michelin is the absolute best all the time too. To me I even think Goodyear now has better overall line up and value for money, but doesn't mean any other cheaper brands can also easily upstage Michelin in overall criteria across the board. Heck Continental and Pirelli are even often more expensive than Michelin yet often beaten too by Michelin or others.
