Owner reviews for tires

Having come from Michelin PS4 Summer - and Michelin PS4 AS before that.. I can firmly say I prefer the Conti DSS06 for AS.

I run the DWS's on my M2, they're a good tire. Not amazing, but decent in the wet which is what i care about up in Seattle.

For example I swear by, for the time being until they screw something up somehow, the nexen winguard winspike sport. It is an amazing tire for its price point and can be driven in all seasons as well as snow.

Currently on Toyo Celsius 2, on a AWD and it does well for urban winters. I did drive through a blizzard and it was fine, but back of mine was wondering...Halfway through it's lifespan and zero issues.

Crossclimate2 tires are really really good.

They're wild since they not only have superb snow traction, the dry traction actually is close to summer touring tire levels of grip.

The trade-off is rain. Still above average.

The most wild thing is I installed mine at 27,000 miles 3 years ago. I'm at 77,000 miles (50k on the tires) and Costco told me they measured at 5/32.

That means I'll get 70k miles out of these tires. Way past the 50k warranty.

I have a Model 3 Performance and I drive it like I stole it, these tires hold up to abuse.

I've had great experience in the snow so far with the Road & Trail and wondering if the Stronghold does similarly for LT sizes

I picked up some 18” Aeros and threw some 235/55/18 104V Michelin CrossClimate2 tires on them. It’s preeeeeetty good. Haha came from the stock 19” Aeros (I think they’re tempest?) on the stock Continental tires.

-Efficiency is nearly identical, got 265wh/mi cruising the highway at roughly 75mph.

-Ride is actually STIFFER. Totally shocked me haha

-Sound is identically quiet/loud, except at low speeds around 10mph where you can hear the tread pattern howl

-Picked up all the benefits that come with the CC2

I came across the Vitour Galaxy R1s — they’re V-rated, which is cool, but I’m not sure if they’re DOT approved. From what I can tell, they’re made by a South African brand (possibly China-owned) and seem to be geared toward drift/race use.

Just wondering if anyone’s actually run these? How’s the grip and overall quality? I’m aiming for a tire that can handle daily driving and still be fun in the corners without dropping $500+ on Avons CR6ZZ

I’ll be honest these came in my brand new 2025 Volkswagen Jetta which I purchased last October and I already need a new set. I have put in a wreck of miles though 18k miles already but I still think they wore way too quick they’re at “4 tread and will need to replace.

I’ve replaced at least 7 Pirelli’s in 4 years on my 540. They bubble at the slightest hit. Some of them bubbled after two weeks. I know the roads are not the greatest here in Long Island, but come on. Never again.
