Tires MICHELIN or OEM Porsche

Never, ever try to save money on tyres!! They're what connects your car to the road, literally the most important part for safety and handling. One of the few parts where I personally go for one of the more expensive models. NO exceptions.

We just put Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all-seasons on our 2022 SEL. Range loss is about 10-15%, highway is worse than around town. Huge improvement in handling and especially wet traction makes it worth it with the winter rains (hopefully) coming.

I got x-ice 4 couple years ago and have been really happy

I'm approaching 38K miles on my stock tires (2019) and looking at either Wildpeaks or Michelin Defenders. I'm leaning more towards the defenders because most of my miles will be highway, near max load. The wild peaks sure look great but I've run Michelin Defenders on other vehicles, including in snow, and have no complaints.

I like the X-Ice snow more than Blizzaks because they drive more confidently on pavement and they're much quieter.

I got the Michelin X-ice Snow here in the Colorado Rockies. They work great.

I run the X-Ice on my Allroad. Nice tire, but I don’t drive them hard on dry pavement for obvious reasons.

I just picked up a set of Continental Viking contacts. Previously I had Michellin X-Ice and they were solid.

We had a set of these on our Rogue, and I wasn\u2019t really blown away by them. Tread life was awful, which really surprised me. Granted, wet grip was very good and they rode quietly, but I wasn\u2019t that impressed with them overall.

I totally agree with ALL your comments about the stock Michelins. It is a shame VW but such a crappy tire on such a fine car. The HXMX4 is one of the lowest rated all season tires based on user reviews at Tire Rack. I was really happy to send the Michelins to the recycling bin...
