Tires MICHELIN or OEM Audi

Michelin xda2 holds up pretty good on our hydrovacs running in mud and rock

I have the defenders, and I love them. The stock tire hydroplaning is gone. Mpg good, traction good and wear like iron.

All I buy anymore is Michelin. X-Ice Snows on the factory wheels and 4S on the summer wheels. I’ve never had another brand offer the same level of grip while lasting forever.

I'm going with Michelin X-Ice on 16" Touren TR60 Wheels this season. Should fare well, I've had good results with X-Ice in the past.

I love my Michelin A/S 4’s on my car.

In my experience, Michelin uses superior rubber, and we never had issues balancing their tires. They’re a tried-and-true brand known for consistent quality.

Just slapped some Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4’s and they are honestly not too bad. Got them about 3 weeks ago, been about 1,500 miles. I shall see how the outer edges fair on these!

Rain was heavy and wind was high in southern Indiana today. Really good grip on the rain, and good stopping distance as well. Had someone panic brake for a branch falling and the car slowed down faster than theirs did!

I’d recommend some sporty tires like Michelin pilot sport 4s or Pirelli p zero.

I’m on my second set. I buy them used, as factory take offs. $800/ set cash. Someone is always selling a set when I need them. Good on highway and light off road, stone/gravel. Horrible in snow. a little slippery in rain.

I personally didn't like Michelin tires when I was a tire technician, but I won't discount their strengths. The biggest problem with Michelin tires is dry rot, I don't recommend them if the car sits for long periods outside.
