I like Michelin for nice ride quality tires for an appliance car. Replaced the Pirellis on our Tiguan recently with Michelin Defenders and they are as smooth as anticipated. Big improvement.

Pros: smooth ride, big improvement

IMO Michelin PS4's. They stick great in the heat and hook up in the rain too. Only complaint for me was they wore down pretty fast on track days but the track was superhot and I was pushing the car. I don't know the price range on these but in Europe they are great bang for your buck. Just under 100 USD balanced and mounted each wheel and tire here in Europe

Pros: great grip in heat, good in rain
Cons: wore down fast on track

I put these on our eGolf back in Sept. Haven't had any bad weather but imo they are great. Way better wet grip than the oem tires. Ride is great, even having gone from 16s to 18s. Slightly more road noise, but I only hear it because my car is an EV. Economy has actually been pretty similar, maybe using a fewer more kw than before but not drastic.

Pros: way better wet grip, ride is great
Cons: slightly more road noise
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I went with Michelin CrossClimate2's on my 2017 Alltrack with the APR ECU and TCU stage 1 tune. Previously I had the Vredestein Quatrac 5 tires which were pretty good too but a tad noisy on fresh blacktop. I don't get enough snow in the Cincinnati area to really merit a set of summer vs winter tires. CrossClimate2's have been on since April and its been a fantastic tire so far. Very quiet and great handling.

Pros: very quiet, great handling
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I just put these on my heavy TT. they were substantially beefier than the ST tires they replaced. My set were made in Germany. They're expensive, but as a victim of a blow out on 2 year old STs, I can tell you that the price difference would have been less than the cost of the collateral damage.

Pros: extremely beefy, made in Germany
Cons: expensive
Vehicle: Dodge RAM

After 23k miles I didn't want to keep the Falken OE tires on my car for another winter. Michelin has released the CrossClimate 2 tire in the Alltrack OE size (205/55R17 95V XL) and I decided to buy a set. I love them! These tires have given the car a great steering feel and are quiet on the road, and I think they look just right for the Alltrack.

Pros: great steering feel, quiet

I really like the Michelin x-ice tires, they are on the quieter side for winters I've had on the dry and great in the snow, but noise comes with that added traction anyway you do it.

Pros: quieter side, great in snow
Cons: noise with added traction

I'm currently running Michelin Premieres on my Jetta. They are great tires, especially in the wet, but don't get near the longevity that they claim. I've put TrueContacts on our old Forester, and was very happy with them. I've also had General Altimax HP's on the Jetta (same category tire), and was happy with those as well. Generals are a great budget tire. They were very quiet, and I'll echo the comment that they feel squirmy at first until all the casing oil gets out of them.

Pros: great in wet, quiet
Cons: poor longevity, squirmy at first
