Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

I'd encourage you to consider Michelin Defender LTX M/S Quiet, handle great, good milage, excellent in rain, very good on snow, very good on dirt roads.

Michelin LTX MS! Great traction, super quiet on the highway, awesome in the snow.

I ran the AS's on my X3M and got about 20-22k miles average across two sets. Grip increased by a lot compared to the continentals that came originally.

For your climate I would definitely recommend the Defender 2s. The YK-GTX is quieter on paper, I don't think it's noticeably better. They're noticeably better in the winter than the Defender 2 but you're in SoCal.

I'm a huge fan of the YK-GTX, I've had a set, I've put a set on one of my parent's cars, the Defender 2 will have a significantly longer treadlife.

Michelin CrossClimate 3, rilja sve ispod sebe, nigde maknuo nisam jedino kad uđeš u mix bljuzga/sneg/led deru se i osećaju se vibracije ali preciznost i kontrola su odlični.

You’d be fine with just winters. Source: daily a VW Mk7 GTI with winters in northern BC. But, AWD with snow tires and better ground clearance is much better.

Four 215/50/17 Michelin X-Ice Xi-3 snow tires. Good condition. 3 of the four have 9/32" tread remaining. 1 has a little more than 8/32". No patches or plugs.

I've run Kumho tires on a few cars. They've been fine.

Depends on the All Seasons IMO. Michelin Pilot AS have been pretty good. Cross Climates are better. But yes, nothing will beat snow tires.

I won\u2019t buy X-Ice anymore, both myself and my friend had a sidewall blow out on them.
