Tires MICHELIN or Continental

I'm loving my cross climate 2 tires I got a couple months ago.

Continental 175/70 r13 tires imported from Italy in July 2020 (at substantial expense \ud83e\udd23) to wrap this set of 82 Jetta wheels for my resto-mod. Finally got them painted to my satisfaction in reflex silver. Searched all of US and Canada for Continental 175/70s with no luck.

I sit around 109 C in the summer and between 100-105 in the winter. Seems normal.

Winter tires? Why not winter homologated (Canada) all season Michelin Crossclimate 2. They are better than the Pirelli PZero my 2022 came with and I don't see a difference on snow compared to my last Vredestein winter tires!

The PS4S that replaced the OEM Bridgestone Potenzas on my 370Z are lasting about twice as long, are quieter and are as grippy. The only drawback to this particular tire is its less stiff sidewall, making the steering less precise.

I just put on the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4s through discount tire. My all in cost was $1,100.

They are a great all around tire. The grip feels much better than the OEM tires. The biggest downside in my opinion is a ~4% drop in range. I’d prefer having the performance and safety over slightly longer range.

I have a Model 3 sleeper Performance and I can say I have been really happy with the Cross Climate 2 as well.

I run Michelin X-Ice studded tires here for our Northern Finland winters.

On snow covered back roads, it might as well be dry, that's how good they are. Stopping, cornering, no issues at all while driving normal to lightly spirited.

Now have a 2014 mustang gt with michelin as3+ and they were decent ..even though they were worn down ..got as4 when they came out around I think June 2020? Felt good on the rears . But I guess like all tires take a bit warming up when cold . Felt some slipping only 4k miles in...but I am a lead foot ..understatement as well.

As for tires, I'd absolutely recommend against getting Conti DW's. I got them to replace Michelin PSS' mainly because they were cheaper and I thought the drop off in performance wouldn't be as significant as the price difference but it is...Very significant. For a chill family car, DW's are great..for any kind of performance driving, they just aren't good enough. Traction is ok but the sidewalls are very soft and I could feel them rolling and giving away at the track.
