Tires MICHELIN or BFGoodrich

Michelin tyres. They’re one of the most reassuring in wet road conditions. The car behaves predictably in heavy rain conditions with those tyres fitted.

I have cross climates on my truck and I can't believe how good they are. It's the first time I've ever been impressed with a tire

Given that you live in Toronto I would say Michelin Defender. All season tires, but absolutely amazing in snow.

Michelin pilot sport 3+. Great grip and good in Vancouver rain.

These tires should be perfect. They provide a VERY surprising amount of grip on dry and wet roads for all season tires. I even run these tires throughout the east coast winter and they handle very well in snow and storms for all season tires.

Only cons I noticed with these tires is that they are bit more noisy and I noticed the slightest drop in mpg after putting these tires on. Tread life is bit lower than average since they are ultra high performance all season tires. I've put about 15,000 miles on them, I can probably get about another 15,000 out of them.

FYI. The K02's are great. They are however sensitive to tire pressures. I always recommend you chalk test these particular models! I am running 38psi up front and 35 in the rear. They can get very noisy if underinflated. I used them as all seasons for the year and they did extremely well in most conditions with the exception of hard packed slushy roads - just not enough grip!

I have been riding on them for about 11,000 miles. 2018 GSW SE. Excellent tires so far. Properly inflated, not loud at all but do have a low grumble that is not bad. Fantastic wet tire. They remain planted in the rain and give good secure ride. Ride more like summer tires on dry pavement, cold or warm weather. Great ride I am in Wisconsin and they are superior to all seasons in snow, although nothing compares to true "snow" tires. I've driven in some pretty good storms and they are definitely sufficient for most conditions. Will slip in snow a bit here and there, but give plenty of traction for acceleration and braking. Ice... be careful, regardless, and these are not studded tires. I highly recommend them for all season driving, including right through the snow.

Picked up a screw in my rear tire yesterday on the stock tires. Figure I'll just replace the set. I've been getting a bunch of recommendations on Michelin Road 5 Tires.

Our old Yaris came with Bridgestone RE92s which were TERRIBLE. After putting Michelin Defenders on it, it was at least moderately tolerable at speed.

I totally agree with ALL your comments about the stock Michelins. It is a shame VW but such a crappy tire on such a fine car. The HXMX4 is one of the lowest rated all season tires based on user reviews at Tire Rack. I was really happy to send the Michelins to the recycling bin...
