Tires MICHELIN or Nexen

Once Old Man Winter came knocking, I found a set of 18” Talladega take-offs from a ‘13 Golf R locally on Craigslist and fitted with Michelin Alpin PA4 (225/40/18). Dry and wet winter handling is fantastic - feels like spring or fall.

The Michelin icex tires are great in snow, provide a good ride, and are quiet.

I installed Micheline X-Ice xi3s a few days prior -- Boy was I impressed. I feel so much more confident in it than my 4runner. I even made it up a small hill that was basically just an ice sheet from a stop. I'm taking it out skiing this weekend with multiple inches of snow in the forecast, after last night I'm quite confident in the little GTI.

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've been quite happy with my Nexens on my E39. They're quiet and smooth. Oh yeah, grip in the snow is quite good too.

I run Nexen N'Fera SU1 tires on my GTI in the summer: https://www.nexentireusa.com/tires/high-performance/n-fera-su1 Best budget tires I've ever tried. They are wearing nicely, grip in dry and wet is great. I was VERY surprised about the wet weather performance. I'd buy them again and again, no questions asked.

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.

I'm running 235 Michelin PS2's on my Jetta VRT w/ 17x8 ASA AR1's. I've been spinning like mad in 1st and 2nd at only 10 psi lately, but it's been in the 30's for forever. 3rd has been gripping perfect at 18 psi though.
