Tires MICHELIN or Goodyear

As a person with 245/30/19 michellin pilot sport 4s on my passat, i approve of your car.

The D2s are doing better on dry surfaces and who knows if they'll see snow.

I went to Michelin Defender, they weigh a bit more but still do well in the snow/ice and get better mileage on the highway.

i love my pilot sport a/s 4 specifically for rain. my stock tires had zero grip. they also have lasted a very long time

I loved the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s they’re great but come with a big price tag, I’d highly recommend the extreme contact sports.

Michelin xda2 holds up pretty good on our hydrovacs running in mud and rock

I have the defenders, and I love them. The stock tire hydroplaning is gone. Mpg good, traction good and wear like iron.

All I buy anymore is Michelin. X-Ice Snows on the factory wheels and 4S on the summer wheels. I’ve never had another brand offer the same level of grip while lasting forever.

I’m on my second set. I buy them used, as factory take offs. $800/ set cash. Someone is always selling a set when I need them. Good on highway and light off road, stone/gravel. Horrible in snow. a little slippery in rain.

Noticed these two splits on the sidewall of this Goodyear Assurance tire, they’re less than 4 years old, manufactured on the 39th week of 2020, it’s a 225/45R18, wondering if anyone ever had an issue like this one on such a new tire or if maybe I should watch out for someone trying to slash my tires? Contacted Goodyear about this issue just now and it’ll be getting replaced either way tomorrow
