Tires MICHELIN or OEM Volkswagen

I had the old x Ice 3 then now have the x Ice snow. For sure you maybe pay a bit for name brand but so far I really like them Quieter, seems to me better in the deeper snow then the older ones too

I have the cross climate 2 and they are fantastic for light snow and ice.

I have Michelin CrossClimate and Maxxis Premitra, been happy with both, maybe slight edge to the Michelin.

Michelin cross climate 2. Not a snow tire but rather “all weather.” Great handling in dry, wet and snow. My first set I got about 60K on and I only replaced them this fall because its ability in the snow was fading towards the end (which is normal).

I will give a node to Michelin X-Ice, they were phenomenal on my 7th gen 2.4 without traction control- rarely encountered wheel spin

I have Michelin X-Ice snows on a set of 17” steelies. They’re awesome.

Michelin is the gold standard. Period. They're expensive and worth every penny. Quiet, smooth, great handling and wear like iron.

I stopped using continentals when my last set of DWS sounded like a freight train down the road in my golf. I switched to Michelin crossclimate 2s and they have been a great all weather and quiet tire.

The Michelin cross climate tire tends to make some noise. If it’s a consistent even sound and all the tires make the same noise, it’s normal.

My experience with Michelin is that they are terrible tires and WAY over priced for a terrible tire.
