I think so, I have them in my highlander but I get rain and snow quite a bit and they do grip well, I have had them for 35k miles and nad never felt bad. Also they have a great wear life... Not a sign of wear on them yet.

Pros: good grip, great wear life
Mileage: 56327 km

MICHELIN Tires

Glad to hear it. Just ordered a pair for the rear of my Kia Stinger - the factory Michelin Pilot Sport 4S lasted only 15,000miles / 22,000 km. I've had really good luck with Nokian winter tires over the last decade, so hoping these are just as good. I know they won't match the grip of the Pilot Sports, but I'm not tracking the car and the Nokian is only slightly more than half the price of the Michelins, so I'm OK with that.

Pros: good luck with Nokian
Cons: less grip than Michelin
Vehicle: Kia
Mileage: 22000 km

Costco is good. Michelin defender 2 i just got, almost weird how quiet and smooth they are. Best tires for these cars IMO.

Pros: quiet and smooth

I just bought a new set of Michelin Defender 2s there, after doing a ton of research (I live in a non-snowy area, and prioritize quietness and mpg) The price all-in was better than anywhere else, and the install process was fine.

Pros: price better than anywhere

Get Michelin from Costco. They were very good for my 2008 Sport AWD. They lasted the mileage that was promised and never had any issues on snow.

Pros: lasted the mileage promised, good on snow
Vehicle: Toyota

My winters aren't too different, and I've had or have all of them: Pilot Alpin, X-Ice Snow, and CC2 (all North American versions). The CC2 were just too floppy and imprecise for me, and that's on a modified daily driver crossover. On a 986 the steering and handling response would be damaged noticeably over Pilot Alpins imo. If you're a fan of feel (and likely traction overall, honestly), get the UHP winters. They're by far my category of choice because of the sporty feel they maintain on performance cars.

Pros: sporty feel, good traction
Cons: floppy, imprecise
Vehicle: Porsche

Just, my experience, but the x tours were the worst Michelins I've ever owned. Each tire had at least one flat, some tires had two flats in less than 2 years. My advice obviously is to pay more for the Defender series.

Cons: multiple flats, less steel
