I am running X Ice3 on the stock Austin wheels for the second winter now and have had no problems in Western PA. We don't get much snow per se, but the car feels confident in snow and ice, in particular stopping and turning.
I put on a full set of Michelin XIce3 P205/55R16 with steel rims just before the first big snow hit and I'm glad I did. There's nothing like having a proper set of winter tires.
Once Old Man Winter came knocking, I found a set of 18” Talladega take-offs from a ‘13 Golf R locally on Craigslist and fitted with Michelin Alpin PA4 (225/40/18). Dry and wet winter handling is fantastic - feels like spring or fall.
The Michelin icex tires are great in snow, provide a good ride, and are quiet.
I installed Micheline X-Ice xi3s a few days prior -- Boy was I impressed. I feel so much more confident in it than my 4runner. I even made it up a small hill that was basically just an ice sheet from a stop. I'm taking it out skiing this weekend with multiple inches of snow in the forecast, after last night I'm quite confident in the little GTI.
Happy with the snow handling Have micheline X-ice tires on, big upgrade there compared to the stock Continental tires. Handles great in the snow and on the ice up here in Saskatoon, SK.
i run Michelin lattitudes after going through the OEM GY s at 30K miles.
Used a higher quality tyre last time : Michelin Alpine 5...
I had used cheap winters before but you really do notice the difference in quality, grip etc
It's not as great in ice, but I think Michelin x-ice and Blizzak tires are better for that.
My current car, a 1991 BMW 318is, I got it with dry-rotting tires. Noticeable grip issues with them. I quickly got them changed to the best all-season option I found, which was the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S.
