Tires MICHELIN or Firestone

A few months ago I put on a set of Michelins on my 23 giulia q4 and so far ive been very impressed. I havent pushed the tires anywhere near their limit and in the rain have been perfect.

Replaced my Goodyears with Michelin Primacy A/S at 14k miles in the PNW.

Running michelin cross climate 2s. 60k mile warranty EV tires. 3 mountain rating as well.

Putting Cross Climate 2’s on was one of the best decisions ever. Wet, dry, snow or sun… doesn’t matter - these tires continue to impress.

I like Michelin Primacy for quiet ride

Decided on Firestone Affinity. Firestone's higher level brand, Bridgestone's research and development has trickled down to the Affinity AS tires. You can save some money by avoiding the Bridgestones. But 6 months in, with the amount of snow in Chicago this winter, all I can say is I haven't regretted my choice whatsoever.

One thing to note, we absolutely love the Michelin Defenders.

It handles Midwest winters way better than the four options you listed, lasts longer (80k warranty), and feels more planted on heavier SUVs.

The tread pattern on the cross climate tires is noisy and you might notice a drop in mileage (-10mpg has been reported).

On my G80 M3, Michelins were lasting about 10-12k miles

On my X5M -- Michelins last 10k miles tops.
