Tires MICHELIN or OEM BMW

Put them on my Fiat 124 Abarth (RWD convertible). Firsts snow test was this morning... WSDOT plowed the road down to hardpack snow/ice, and they did great. No trouble on the ascent, no trouble in the packed snow/ice/slush parking lot... Perfect winter-season tire for this climate.

I live in Waukesha (near Milwaukee) and have LOVED my X-Ice Snows the last two winters. I commute downtown every day (30 minutes of mixed interstate/city driving) and am super comfortable with those tires on my stock wheels in winter

I have a dedicated summer wheel set and made these my dedicated winter set, having X-ice 3’s prior. They obviously don’t grip on ice the best but for everything else they have been superior. 2015 BMW 328i xDrive.

I put the CC2s on my Civic Hatchback about 1,500 miles ago, and I have throughly enjoyed them. Last week they got their first taste of snow, and the grip was excellent. Many of the side roads were insanely messy... I didn’t slide once... I love these tires.

I only put ~8k kms / 5000 miles on them, so I can't comment on longevity. But I drove them through snow, sleet and heavy rain (winter tires), and up to 125mph on the German Autobahn, and they were just fine.

Got a set of 16 steelies with Michelin Ice-X's for my 2014. Have worked pretty well so far and I got at a good deal with Discount Tire.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is the go to summer tire for many.

Michelin X-Ice was my go to for my 14’s on my AW.

I’ve got the defenders. They get loud over 60 too.

I changed from the OEM tires to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's a few months ago and have been disappointed with them. They do have more grip than the OEM tires but feel really squirrely and "Mushy" while steering, especially when driving more "spiritedly". I miss how stable the car felt with the original tires.
