Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

Buy Kuhmo AT51 road venture. You won't regret it. Even in deep snow.

I live in mountains with lots of snow. No problem whatsoever.

Oh and the tires are very quiet.

Michelin Pilot Alpin 5

Dealt with the same dilemma, went with the Michelin’s in the same size. Only about 500 miles in with them so I can’t vouch for snow, but they have been phenomenal on-road, in wet weather, and on the light trails/dirt roads I frequent for larping. Definitely a world of difference compared to the stock Dunlops and the KO2s I had on my Jeep, which I hated because they were so heavy and notorious for sliding in anything but dry conditions.

Spent a month driving all over the mountains in Colorado winter with Pilot Alpin PA4s on Enkei Raijin 18”s, multiple snowy passes, zero drama. Excellent grip and stopping power, but also good on dry pavement and firm handling when you need it. 13/10

I run 225/40/18 Michelin XIce3 in my 2018R. I bought OEM 18inch Audi BBS CH wheels from a B7 S4 which fit perfectly.

IMO Michelin LTX M/S Have been the gold standard for SUV/LT highway tires for a long time now. Recently they've been discontinued in favor of the second iteration that just came out.

I also have a set (of the V1 tires) on my 2018 GX460 and they have been flawless.

At the time we replaced ours, the major need was traction in wet and snowy weather as the base tires just sucked in the slightest amount of weather. So we got MICHELIN CrossClimate2 tires and they’ve been great for corners, rain, snow and basically everything the low rolling resistance ev tires sucked at.

I've rode Michelin commander III's for years. I've consistently got around 12-15k out of a set of tires and been a daily rider for years.

Cup 2 are allergic to water.

Go with the ps4s. They're not great rain tires, but they're good on wet.

I have a set of PS4S’s that I have on right now. I find the Michelin’s to be horrible in the rain.
