Have put about 21000 miles on Mechlins Pilot Sports on the Wide body Charger. Done fine for about or near the 20k miles until now that the tires are very slick and in rain or wet pavement just normal driving they are to the point they just hydro plain so very easy and did not before and are very slick which was not before. What are the best tires to run with, that some on here has had decent use with for street running good all around tires? I just feel like these Mechlins should have gone more miles, but maybe not?

Everyday driving? Rain and / or sunshine?

Any reason you purchased them without the mileage warranty. If you want to select tires on miles as you state, there are other tires that have longer mileage warranties. Search on them.

I'm not sure the mileage warranty covers how long they stay sticky in rain. And I think most of us don't ask our HC's to "perform" in wet, I certainly don't.

Maybe the solution is to replace after 20kmi? Or switch to AS tires?
