Tires MICHELIN or OEM Audi

I live in NE and got Michelin Alpin 4s and like them quite bit. Its not too crazy here and if we get deep snow I have other options. We have an SUV I can use and since the pandemic I can work from home which is a huge help. I haven't driven in snow in years. If you only have the R as your daily and MUST drive in snow then I agree with the above statement that pure winter tires are a better choice. For me the Alpins ride quite nicely and don't feel squirmy or get hard as a rock when the temp drops.

I’ve been really happy with the Pilot Sport AS4. Not difference in ride comfort or sound, and they definitely are going to last longer than the MXM4

Done well tires or jug I went with a Michelin Commander 3 much better Tire

I’ve had Michelins for 8 months now with zero issues.

CrossClimate2 are great on our 19 Pilot, we have about 25k miles on them. Rain only, no snow experience with them.

Michelin never lets me down. I have had several sets of Conti DWS's on various cars and they always wear out way earlier than they should (treadwear gone in 15K miles on a 30K mile tire). I have had a few sets of Nokians too. Good tires until they aren't. Two sets had sidewall bubbles early. Others developed vibration issues before tread was gone. No real recent experience w/ Bridgestone except one set on a 911 years ago. Get the Michelins.

I use 18” Michelin x-ices in the winter.

I highly recommend Michelin AS4. Excellent all-around tire.

I have Michelins, but I don’t know. 45psi seems a little high. I keep mine around 35-40psi.

My Jetta’s got the defender 60k’s on them and it’s a bit noisy and poor in the snow
