Tires MICHELIN or IRONMAN

I put good winter tires on it (Michelin X-Ice Snow EV) and I’ve not had an issue with RWD. Today was the first day I’ve driven it in pure winter conditions and it was a dream to drive.

I bought these when living in Western Colorado and they did great for last winter. I also had a great experience with them in the PNW/Western Oregon in a more rainy than snowy climate. They were about $1000 total and came with a reasonable warranty which I recommend for any AWD vehicle.

I do notice that they can be loud but I don't care. They also seem to decrease fuel efficiency but I am okay with that since I am starting with high efficiency in the first place.

recently replaced OEM falken on my 21 CE for some Pilot sports and smh.. idk why i waited so long. car feels so great driving. tires have great grip. corners takign with ease. and if acceleration is amazing.

Michelin Defender 2. I replaced all 4 just past 30,000 miles. Expensive, but high quality and rated to last 80,000 miles.

Ive used then for daily driving to work and driving to 10+ autocross and tracks days a year, I’ve been pretty competitive in cam-c with this tire and they still have 1 more year in them. I live in Utah so we get plenty of wet weather. My most competitive autocross events are the wet weather events.

Michelin X-Ice this go around . Have had Hakkas, blizzaks, and nexen over the years.

I found a great deal on PS4S's and figured I'd give them a try instead. Initial impressions are that they significantly enhance steering response and turn-in, with a tradeoff being the ride is definitely busier over small imperfections.

Just put on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 on that sams club deal. So far pretty quiet. Lots of grip in the wet. Softened up the ride witch is weird?

Those tires are shot. Michelins have a habit of dry rotting early. They’re decent tires, but I’ve seen them rot like that all too often.

I put the CrossClimate2's on my 2015 Jetta TDI. 4% loss in fuel economy. Not only that but the car lost it's precise on center feel and required much more correction to keep in straight. Feels like driving on underinflated snow tires. I hate them and will replace them with the OEM Bridgestone Ecopias.
