Owner reviews for tires

If you don't need deep snow traction, go with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4. I run them on my sports cars. Excellent cold weather and rain traction. Quiet. Good in light snow and slush.

I have ice guard on my car with no issues. Handles pretty damn good when dry cold or hot

Xice3 for me. Giant difference.

I use Blizzak WS80's and a couple 50lb sandbags in the trunk. No issues as long as there isn't a shit ton of snow. I still avoid all steep hills.

I have blizzaks and Mrs. Krieg had ice guards on her last car. Both are excellent snow tires, and I never noticed a difference in the wet.

I have Nitto Motivo tire on my Golf and love them. Good grip and wear.

+1 to the Nokian's if you just need one tire. Personally, keep the stock tire and get some snows for winter use. Been using the Michelin X-Ice3's and they are fantastic and a hell a lot cheaper than the comparible Hakka R series.

When it's time to replace my all seasons, I will likely be going with Nokian WRG. I had older generation Conti DWS on my gti and while they were great, the snow traction was only on the first 10k miles of tread. I hear the current Continental DWS 06 are better.

The V12s were fine in the wet on my GTI, but pretty iffy on the M3. Some of that may have also been related to the way I drove either car and each car's respective power. The M3 basically spun the rear tires in the wet on anything but Michelin Pilot Super Sports (which were absolutely phenomenal in the dry & wet).

Uniroyal Tigerpaw inner lining exploded from over inflation.
