Tires MICHELIN or Laufenn

I have a Model 3 sleeper Performance and I can say I have been really happy with the Cross Climate 2 as well.

I run Michelin X-Ice studded tires here for our Northern Finland winters.

On snow covered back roads, it might as well be dry, that's how good they are. Stopping, cornering, no issues at all while driving normal to lightly spirited.

I've driven a friends' Tesla that had Continental tires and followed a few advices on Reddit and changed them for Michelins... the difference is day and night: grip is better, road noise is noticeably lower.

I would highly recommend - Michelin X-ICE Snow Blizzak WS90 Either are phenomenal tires for snow & ice. I have used multiple Blizzak WS series for my EVO 8/9/10s and STi's, and used the X-ICE on the last 3 STi's I had. I plan on using the Michelin X-ICE on the factory wheels on my 2022 GTI S, because I like the better cornering stability of the sidewall vs. Blizzak...the Blizzak's have an extremely soft sidewall, and if you corner too hard it feels like the tires just want to roll over. Remember to take them off once it gets above 40 degrees otherwise you are going to wear the tread out quickly because the cell material is so soft.

I have been very happy with our Michelin X-Ice for the last 3 winters.

Just replaced them with the Michelin Crosstreads because I want better winter and overall braking performance.

Switched to Michelin CrossClimate2 in the EU squared tire size so we can do rear to front rotations.

I’d recommend Michelin CrossClimates. They’re quite good in the snow (3 peak rated) and in all weather situations. Quite a breakthrough in tire tech IMO.

The best middle ground would be your UHP All Seasons category. Not as performance oriented as summer. But also not as costly. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S, Conti DWS06+ for example.

I swear, this is the worst tire I have ever encountered in my entire life. Sure it rides smooth and soft, and makes almost no noise whatsoever, but is SUCKS as a tire! The tire gives up traction all the time. It totally destroys my confidence when driving my 2003 GTI 1.8T Sport.
