Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

I ordered the same style rims in satin black 18” on T Sportline last week w/ Michelin X-Ice Snow.

I've had these for about 16,000 miles. 2 Wisconsin Winters and a summer. I am still extremely happy with them. OP nailed the Winter/wet portion. To add- whether warm or cold out, they perform more like true summer tires on dry pavement. I highly recommend them.

I just put the CC2’s on my 18 GSW 4motion. I couldn’t be more pleased! Performance on wet road- exceptional. Snow- not quite as good as a dedicated snow tire, but damn close. I’ve rallied up the canyon to Alta on snow packed days, not once did they get squirrelly.

I've had experience with both and while both are absolutely fantastic the Michelin tires felt like they warmed up a few minutes faster and handled the rain a bit better.

I put Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's on my '18 S4, and they were decent at everything and snow tested as competent, for a high performance a/s tire - but very expensive, and overkill for stock Passat, IMHO.

I've been a big fan of my Michelin Premier All Seasons

Then installed brand new Blizzak winter tires, aired up to 36lbs. Next 3 tanks road tripping to Bend Oregon. Largest size Thule cargo box on roof. First road trip tank on the way down all rolling rural highway, so a lot of total elevation change. 24mpg.

Most consistent tire when it comes to not being out of round and balancing with the least amount of weight - Michelin. Thus they always ride excellent right out of the box and all the way until they are wore out.

My OEM ecopias made it to 46k Not any abnormal noise, wear, etc. Not great tires, except for mpg. Would never buy them myself. Horrible in any type of snow

Cooper, never had a bad tire from them. I can tell you who I don't trust. Bridgestone, namely Potenzas. They are great new, but a tiny bit of wear and they loose ALL wet traction, and it's scary unpredictable. Never again.
