Just an FYI:
OE tires are unique little beasties. Each is designed to the vehicle manufacturer’s specs and none of those specs are the same. As a result, you can’t make a blanket statement about them. For example, the Michelin Energy Savers that come on a Chevy Sonic are different than the Michelin Energy Savers that come on a Chevy Cruze (assuming both vehicles came on Michelin Energy Savers!) and I’m not just talking size. The specs are different, so the tires are different.
I have found that MANY OE tires from Japanese vehicle manufacturers have issues with traction. I suspect that is because they test those tires in Japan - and the testing surface is typical of what they make roads out of there and that is different than what is commonly used in the US. (Yes, different road surfaces give different traction levels and some tires don’t work well on some road surfaces.)
Between knowing what’s going on and paying attention to the difference in how I apply the accelerator now the torque converter is behaving better after the software update, I have eliminated most, although not all, of the dry pavement traction issues. Wet paving is another matter. Especially if needing to hard brake on wet road life gets rather . . . exciting . . . for a few seconds while the ABS kicks in and the car plays slip and slide. When I can I will replace all four tires but first I have to pay for the house repairs. The tread on all four Is still In good shape and not much worn. And at least two of the repaired tires are not leaking. The third may have a very slow leak of a couple pounds per week. I am closely monitoring that. If need be I will replace all four sooner rather thsn later. Happy, safe motoring everyone.
