Is it necessary to change to Michelin tires for the Magotan?

Magotan can change to Michelin tires as needed. Here are the specific details about tires: Function of tires: Tires support the entire weight of the vehicle, bear the load of the car, transmit traction and braking torque, ensure the adhesion of the wheels to the road surface, reduce and absorb the vibration and impact force of the car during driving, prevent severe vibration and early damage to car components, adapt to the high-speed performance of the vehicle and reduce driving noise, ensuring driving safety, handling stability, comfort, and fuel economy. Tire maintenance methods: Tire maintenance methods include regularly cleaning stones in the tire gaps, reducing tire exposure to sunlight, frequently checking tire pressure, paying attention to suspension maintenance, regularly checking front wheel alignment, and being mindful of driving style.

I don't think it's necessary to go through the hassle of changing to Michelin tires for the Magotan unless you have special needs. The factory-installed Volkswagen tires are of decent quality and perfectly adequate for daily commuting and family trips. I've been driving this car for several years without any issues, and the stability is fine under urban road conditions. Michelin tires are relatively expensive, costing around one to two thousand yuan for a set. That money could be better spent elsewhere, such as on maintenance or fuel. Of course, if you frequently drive on highways or in rainy areas, Michelin tires offer better grip, but for general road conditions, the original tires are sufficient. In short, consider your budget and don't blindly pursue brand names, otherwise you'll waste money and go through the trouble of installation.

I think it's necessary to consider switching to Michelin because safety comes first. Tires are directly related to driving safety, and Michelin has strong grip on wet roads, which I have personally experienced. I used to have skidding issues when driving in the rain before, but after switching to Michelin, the braking became more stable, especially suitable for family sedans like the Magotan. The original tires sometimes perform averagely during sharp turns or in rain and snow. After the switch, you can feel the car is more controllable, reducing the risk of accidents—it's not just about comfort but also about life. Of course, you have to act within your means. If you only drive in dry urban areas, the risk is lower, but it's common sense to regularly check for wear and replace them in time. Don't ignore safety just to save money.

After switching to Michelin, the comfort has improved significantly. I drive long distances frequently, and the noise is reduced, vibrations are lighter, making the overall experience much better. The original tires sometimes produced a humming sound that affected my mood. Michelin's noise-reducing design is indeed effective, especially on highways, making the car quieter and reducing fatigue. However, they are more expensive and not a necessity. For daily short commutes, the original tires are still acceptable. If the budget allows and you pursue comfort, Michelin is worth a try—it can also protect chassis components. But for ordinary office workers, there's no need to invest too much; practicality comes first, so don't waste money unnecessarily.
