Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

I have a set of michelin alpin pa4 I'm trying to sell since I'm moving to FL soon. They ran perfect last winter.

The Cross Climate 2 is pretty much God tier in its class.   Do it.

The cross climates, although probably a bit more expensive, will wipe the floor with either of those 2 tires from les schwab performance wise. Significantly better in rain and snow, and will probably last much longer as well.

For me its the performance on wet conditions (rains a lot here) and the longevity. I usually get about 5-6 years off a set of defenders on both my GLK 350 and my Suburban.

Just replaced the old ones on my mk7 with the same, I’ve always preferred Michelin Pilot Sport, old ones were 3’s new ones 4’s, bit different tread design but still a quiet highway cruise.

Winter setup is Michelin x-ice.

Put these on for the first time after running potenza since new; honestly it’s like having a new car. They are the perfect road tyre for this car.

I went with Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS, as I got too good of a deal to pass up, and have been very happy with them so far!

A bald Michelin gives more grip and stopping power than a new budget tyre

Had the same ones on a Crosstrek. They take the cake as my worst tires. Period. They handled worse in snow than my now Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires, which is NOT a high bar. And only lasted 40k miles before the tread was done.
