Tires MICHELIN or OEM BMW

Upgraded my Wilderness to Michelin Defenders. MPGs went up on average about 4mpg. Much quieter, smoother ride. I regret not swapping them out sooner!

Just grabbed Defender 2s. As of now, zero complaints.

I have the Michelin X-Ice Snow and they’re doing well sofar.

These tires are less compliant than other tires I’ve used. The ride is firm. I have noticed lower fuel economy. Overall, I’m happy with these tires.

I've had the ventus on my wife's Tiguan and they suck. If you're sticking with all season go with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4, they really are much better in nearly every way imaginable.

Just got the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and love them.

I use Pilot Sport A/S 4s and they can handle any normal (i.e. non-blizzard) amount of snow with relative ease. They were great in the Midwest last winter, including in the snow.

We have had Michelin Defenders on both ours they ride and handle like no other tire I’ve had.

Michelin had 2 models in the Pilot series - Sporty and Street Radial. The Street Radial was excellent, while the Indian made Sporty was horrible.

I got the Michelin mxm4 235/45 R18 tires, and by the time of first rotation at 5k miles, the rear tires went from 10/32" to 6/32". At 10k miles, all tires were already at 4/32 thread depth!
