Tires MICHELIN or Continental

I have Michelin CrossClimate and Maxxis Premitra, been happy with both, maybe slight edge to the Michelin.

Michelin cross climate 2. Not a snow tire but rather “all weather.” Great handling in dry, wet and snow. My first set I got about 60K on and I only replaced them this fall because its ability in the snow was fading towards the end (which is normal).

I will give a node to Michelin X-Ice, they were phenomenal on my 7th gen 2.4 without traction control- rarely encountered wheel spin

I had ExtremeContacts on my golf and loved them except they didn’t last as long as I expected. Then I got Pilot Sport 4s since they were on sale at the same price as the contis. they’re a bit louder but a bit grippier.

I have Michelin X-Ice snows on a set of 17” steelies. They’re awesome.

I had a friend with Blizzacks on his WRX, and I put the equivalent Continental WinterContacts on my WRX. Mine wore less over time and I commuted more, were slightly cheaper at the time, and felt like they performed a little better.

Big fan of the Continent Winter Contacts for my Passat in 215 width. They were quite a bit less than Michelin's at the time. I'll buy them again.

Michelin is the gold standard. Period. They're expensive and worth every penny. Quiet, smooth, great handling and wear like iron.

I've had the AS4 on my Mk7.5 GTI, but just about every review ranks the cheaper Conti as the better all around tire.

Man I have this EXACT issue on my 2019 arteon, somewhere between 10k and 20k kms and Continental is telling me to fuck off.
