Tires MICHELIN or OEM Audi

A 3PMS All-Weather tire like the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is doable. Tires like the Michelin CrossClimate 2s reach the ISO standard to be deemed a winter tire by every regulatory body in North America. They preform as well as a lot of winter tires.

I’ve been running Michelin Defender 2 on my Toyota Camry year round since 2020 and it does very well every single winter with no issues at all. Fully sipped tires do help for grip on snow and ice.

I ran the non EV equivalent Michelin Sport on my Tesla for almost 5 years to the tune of $30 less per tire. The only difference I found compared to EV tires was a strip of foam for sound deadening.

Ich fahre den Michelin Cross climate 2 und bin hoch zufrieden

Ich persönlich habe die Crossclimate 2. Im Winter bisher völlig problemlos, auch in tiefem Schnee (allerdings mit allrad).

CC2 is an amazing tire. Snow fall from a single storm can be measured in several inches to a couple of feet. My wife’s Cayenne is an absolute monster in these conditions with the Michelins. She runs them all year and this will be the 3rd winter on the same set, with amazing wear.

I absolutely love the Cross Climates. Their handling in rain and snow is very good, and they just seem to ride more comfortably than the Defenders ever did. They are also more quiet. FWIW I’ve only had my Cross Climates for one winter here in MD.

Cross climate 2s are amazing. Won’t buy anything else after owning them tbh for year round use.

Have firehawks on a C5, PS4 on a C4 GS. Both are fine for street driving. I certainly can push the C4 WAY harder but how hard you drive is a huge factor. The PS4 is also way susceptible to flat spotting if the car sits (mine do)

I have Defenders and one of them is defective. Chunks coming off.
