Tires MICHELIN or KENDA

Happy with the snow handling Have micheline X-ice tires on, big upgrade there compared to the stock Continental tires. Handles great in the snow and on the ice up here in Saskatoon, SK.

i run Michelin lattitudes after going through the OEM GY s at 30K miles.

Used a higher quality tyre last time : Michelin Alpine 5...

I had used cheap winters before but you really do notice the difference in quality, grip etc

It's not as great in ice, but I think Michelin x-ice and Blizzak tires are better for that.

Further to the Xice3 awesomeness. I drove through 50 km of super-twisty tight mountain road this weekend and came across a BMW 5-series on wide tires that would sprint off on the straights then I'd catch him in the twisties then he'd take off on the straights (rinse and repeat)... Anyway, mixed dry/damp pavement at about 10 \u00b0C and the Xice3s had grip to spare in corners.

I have the Michelin PA4's for my R, they are great all around in the winter especially in the dry, X Ice3 were better on ice and packed snow though.

I ran the Xice3 in some pretty severe snow this past winter. One day in particular was a big snowstorm... I took every gnarly/hilly minor road I could find... and got home with no drama and some quality hooning. Those tires are magic.

I had XIce's on my S4 and loved them, for sure getting them on my R Smooth on plowed roads, but turned the S4 into a tank when it snowed.

I got my Michelin X-Ice Xi3 winter tires today as well as the rebate card.

30K miles on my A/S3's on the Mini. They still grip reasonably well in the dry; the wet is iffy. While there is still treadlife left, the tire howl has becoming bad. They were nearly silent when new.
