Tires MICHELIN or Kormoran

MICHELIN Tires

If you don't need deep snow traction, go with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4. I run them on my sports cars. Excellent cold weather and rain traction. Quiet. Good in light snow and slush.

Pros: excellent cold weather traction
Cons: light snow and slush

+1 to the Nokian's if you just need one tire. Personally, keep the stock tire and get some snows for winter use. Been using the Michelin X-Ice3's and they are fantastic and a hell a lot cheaper than the comparible Hakka R series.

Pros: fantastic, cheaper than Hakka

The AS remind me of all of my Pilot experiences in the wet. But I am cautious when probing limits on public roads; I have yet to experience these in the wet on roads that I know well. I really want to feel how these break loose - sudden or gradual - after loosing traction on wet roads. But they do continue to impress me, far beyond the Pirellis.

Pros: impressive wet performance
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I also just bought the AS3+ for the mix of wear rating and performance (I also have dedicated winter tires so this wasn't important for me neither) and I'm also REALLY pleased with them. They actually handle stage 2 power better than the Potenza, which is a summer tire. I now have 10 000 km on them and I can honestly say that they offer equivalent or even better performance than many summer tires I had. I actually planned to trade them for PSS if I weren't satisfied, but I really am so I'm keeping them. I don't track my car, but as I said I'm stage 2 and do lots of spirited driving, and these tires are great!!

Pros: great performance, good wear
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 10000 km

I had X-ice Xi3s on the Fiesta ST I owned for just over 2 years, and I actually liked driving on them more than the stock Bridgestone Potenza RE50A. Obviously not as much grip in drier weather, but for anything below 40 degrees or so, and certainly any snow, they were fantastic, and a lot easier to live with (much quieter; much more compliant, although part of that was also being on a smaller winter wheel).

Pros: much quieter, more compliant
Cons: less grip drier weather
Vehicle: Ford Fiesta

Sell your tires and buy 4 Michelin Primacy, you will immediately see the night and day grip difference

Pros: night and day grip difference

Confirmed, mine also came with 235/45/R17 Michelin HX MXM4 Pilot tires with an M+S rating, so they are rated for some level of mud and snow service. So far, the little bit we have driven the car it seems to handle ok on the snow and ice, and seems to grip the dry pavement really well.

Pros: handle ok on snow
Mileage: 400 km
