Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

I have Bridgestones in my GTI in 17s with 215/50r17 and obviously don't feel as sporty as 19s but they're great for winter.

I have no complaints with my Pilot Alpin 5’s. Two seasons.

Am facut uber o perioada. Am avut in acea perioada Crossclimate 2 care au dus onorabil orice drum pt 50.000km. Cand m-am hotarat sa le schimb am zis sa incerc si Nokian Seasonproof. Nu exista efectiv comparatie. Nokianurile noi erau mai slabe decat Michelinurile vechi si uzate la toate tipurile de drum. Michelin de acum\u2026 nu mai fac experimente.

Michelin does have all season Pilot Sport tires. I have these on my A4 Quattro and they are amazing, as were the previous versions I had before. I had plenty of tread on the previous tires with 35k miles, but they were replaced because of a hole in a sidewall. The grip is excellent in dry, rain, and cold weather and they have little road noise.

I just had mine upgraded from OE to Michelin Crossclimate2 with the $80 Michelin discount. So far so good.

Another option is to run four-season tires like the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Those are not as good as dedicated winters, but do have the mountain/snowflake symbol and can be left on year 'round. My daughter in AA takes that approach and seems happy with the compromise.

I am running Michelin crossclimates year round.

Those ain't snow tires. Get some Michelin ice x 3

I did get caught out by black ice last week and skidded a bit but then also got caught out in a different place in my mums car which is on Cross Climates, doing about 20mph both times. Both times I luckily got away with it but black ice is black ice, Cross Climates may give a slightly better chance of getting it back after skidding but not enough to be worth it imo.

I had them, then had them removed. They are far from efficient, nor quiet. The stopping distance on packed snow was awful. Lateral snow grip was bad. Only thing they excelled at was deep water
