When I had my GLI, I immediately change the Hankooks out for Pirelli PZeros; they were way to stiff and made the car unstable. Swapped them out for Michelin AS 3+ which was a night and day difference. Relatively smooth and quiet ride, confident handling, excellent grip, good wet performance. I live in Southern California so I can't comment on snow. I used to have Contiental DWS06+ on my old 3 Series. Thats a great tire too, but more focused on comfort over the Michelin.
Just FYI, there’s a Michelin AS4 now. Much better ride, quieter and slightly better snow performance than the rough and loud AS3+ (I’ve had both on this car). Just note that any of these performance snow tires are not good snow tires by any stretch. If you’re in the Northeast, get proper snows. I’m in Austin and have them just for trips to NM, but wouldn’t want to use them for proper winters.
I forgot to put my Nokian winter tires on last season and my Michelin pilot sport AS3 tires did NOT remind me I was on all season tires during our ski country, lake effect snow ridden winter.
Our AS3 and my Continentals have historically worn smoothly, although the Michelin wear much better. Without really thinking about it I'm not sure how many miles we have on our AS3 but they are a lot of miles and even on the all-wheel drive car they have worn completely smoothly and evenly without a single hitch. Rotations with oil changes is all they get.
I'm personally impressed with cross climate 1 and 2 versions, used them for years managed to get up snowy hills proper awd's with less capable tyres couldn't get up.
Noticed no noise increase in the tesla, grip is still amazing and unlike some brands they grip well even down to the wear markers
I have the Cross Climate 2’s. No regrets.
Not any noisier that I’ve noticed from the OEM Michelins. About 5% efficiency hit for me.
Tried some mich sport pilots, range killer. In the winter 20% loss but the cae handled so much better....
I don’t have a Tesla (yet) but I do have Nokian one tires on my base model Subaru Impreza. The sidewall (and marketing material) has two things on it that to me make it a good choice for an EV. Silent sidewall technology and low rolling resistance.
In trying to cure my vibration issue, I put on TOTL Michelin MXM4 Primacy's. They have been ok...actually, they've been somewhat of a disappointment...mostly because they're so much more expensive than other rubber. You sorta expect amazing results. They're pretty good but not any quieter than the old Conti's. They're really loud on sharp impacts (expansion joints, etc.) and seem to be very sensitive to different road surfaces. Other than that, they're good tires...just not for the price you pay.
My old 15" Conti's where great in the snow but these 17" Michelins really break traction easy.
