ES Tires
Anyone else NOT like the stock Michelin MXV4's (15") like the ones on my '98 and many other years I'm sure.
They seem to have no traction in rain or snow and the back end of my car always wants to fishtail on the slightest amount of snow, I feel like I'm driving a rear wheel drive!
What do you use?

does the car roll less
yes
as the sidewall is much less to compress but a strut bar will reduce it nicely by stiffing the body and steering feel
plus a real cheap mod
the suspension is the better way to go further but way more expensive
sorry to get so off track

I have 225/40WR18 Kumho Ecsta supra 712's on my car. I'm a Michelin fan but their ultra high performance tires are out of my price range.
For oem 205/65R15 or 205/60R16 sizes, I would recommend the Pilot XGT H4 or V4 for all season tires.
