Tires MICHELIN or Continental

When my OEMs are gone I have always bgt Michelins and been very pleased. If I get 40-50K miles on a tire I'm happy.

Personally, I went with the Continentals three weeks ago and love them.

Running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's -225/45 r17. Over a year on them in pothole Ohio. No problems whatsoever, Even with hitting the odd pothole directly.

Just switched from the DWS to the MPSAS4 and the Michelin is by far the more performance oriented all season tire.

Oh then 1000% get Michelin pilot sport a/s 3+ not even a debate. They ARE sports car tires, handling is off the chain, they have stupid long mileage warranty, they are phenomenal in the rain, and they are fantastic in light snow (say 3" or less) and light ice. But they are definitely dead silent.

I run Michelin Premier A/S and I’ve really enjoyed them. I also run my tire a little bit taller and more narrow than factory. I like the taller sidewall for ride comfort.

We put the Viking 7’s on my wife’s FWD Tiguan and it’s been crushing these last two Wisconsin winters. Very pleased with them so far.

We put the Viking Contact 7's on our 2021 Golf. My 2019 Golf R has Nokian Haka R2's. Winter performance for the two tires is basically indistinquishable to me, which is very high praise as the Nokians have long been considered the best winter tire money can buy. The fact that the VC's are so much cheaper means that if I had to buy new winter tires right now for the R I would for sure get the VC's. Can't go wrong with them.

Had a DWS06, which I wore off.

Bought DWS06+, still riding those.

Excellent snow, ice and wet weather traction. Never had issues!

For what it\u2019s worth, I went down two wheel sizes with my 2018 Golf R. 19 to 17 for Michelin snow tires, from 235/35-19 to 225/45-17. Not much weather yet to really test but some handling loss of course.
