Tires MICHELIN or OEM Mazda

As a person with 245/30/19 michellin pilot sport 4s on my passat, i approve of your car.

The D2s are doing better on dry surfaces and who knows if they'll see snow.

I went to Michelin Defender, they weigh a bit more but still do well in the snow/ice and get better mileage on the highway.

i love my pilot sport a/s 4 specifically for rain. my stock tires had zero grip. they also have lasted a very long time

I loved the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s they’re great but come with a big price tag, I’d highly recommend the extreme contact sports.

Michelin xda2 holds up pretty good on our hydrovacs running in mud and rock

I have the defenders, and I love them. The stock tire hydroplaning is gone. Mpg good, traction good and wear like iron.

All I buy anymore is Michelin. X-Ice Snows on the factory wheels and 4S on the summer wheels. I’ve never had another brand offer the same level of grip while lasting forever.

Great bit too soft and if you spirited drive these will be gone in a year with ropes showing. I swapped to harder compounds

I personally didn't like Michelin tires when I was a tire technician, but I won't discount their strengths. The biggest problem with Michelin tires is dry rot, I don't recommend them if the car sits for long periods outside.
