Tires MICHELIN or OEM Volkswagen

I have Michelin cross climate 2's. Been about 3, maybe almost 4yrs now. About 35k miles put on them. Maybe a bit more? Threads are still pretty good.

If you only do pavement the michelins are by far the best quiet and smooth. Also do great in snow an water.

I have since tuned my GTI and installed summer tires, it has only further cemented my decision. Now the car pulls harder but you still have to work with the car to put the power to ground.

Michelin Pro Sport Tires! Hands down

I had stock pirellis on my S4 (yeah I realize this is a Porsche sub). Switched to Michelin PS4s and never went back. Very noticeable difference in quality, grip, performance, quietness, and smoothness. They lasted a bit longer than the Pirellis too.

4S’s were game changing.

Depends on what you want and what you value, but I put Michelin’s on all of my cars. The ride is better, the handling is better, and they typically wear better.

I’m not sure if they make them in the correct size for the car but the oem star marked ps4s made for bmw are more aggressive and contain a rubber compound more similar to the cup 2s. Tyre reviews compared the regular ps4s to the star marked and raved about them compared to the regular tires.

I've used them on track when I was starting out. 3350 lb awd 350 hp car. Chunking on sides. Not a track tire obviously but a great do-it-all.

I moved to aftermarket wheels and changed tires and have seen a fairly significant drop in efficiency. I'm in a 23 Lariat and with the following modifications I see a about 1.7 mi/kwh now.
