Tires MICHELIN or OEM Volkswagen

MICHELIN Tires

I own a rwd lowered coupe, drove it all winter last year and bought Michelin x ice tires, had no issues. As long as you're a decent winter driver and have good winter tires you'll be fine.

Pros: no issues

Definitely winters for a RWD, I had a RWD 335i with X-Ice 3 and I never had an issue with tires. The only problem I had with snow was my car basically plowing the streets because it was so low.

Pros: no issue with tires
Cons: car plowed streets
Vehicle: BMW

I would suggest Michelin Defenders, my JSW had them on for 35,000 miles and look great when I traded the car back to VW.

Pros: look great
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 35000 km

Bought Michellin Pilot Sport 4s for my 06 2.3L (figured why not spend a bit more because you don't really buy tyres often)

I'm very happy with them so far.

Pros: very happy
Vehicle: Mazda

I had Pirelli tires on my car when I first bought it.. Some new all weather performance tires and let’s just say it was quite scary if there was even a little water on the road. I bought Michelin Pilot Super Sport A/S tires and they have been absolutely fantastic. Rain, shine, or snow the grip levels are very high, blow Pirelli out of the water. There have been instances in the snow when I feel the Michelin tires have saved my life. With the Pirellis, I would not even consider taking the car out in the snow. I drive a Mustang GT.

Pros: high grip levels, great performance
Cons: scary in wet conditions

Over the last 20 years I\u2019ve liked Michelin the most for normal daily driving, they tend to be pricier than comparable brands but when you factor in balance, noise, traction, and wear I\u2019d say I prefer them.

Pros: balance, noise, traction, wear
Cons: pricier than comparable brands

Michelin is the only tire i've ever seen almost basically take no weight on our wheel balancer (assuming a perfectly straight wheel), even without match-mount. Speaks volumes to their manufacturing processes and quality control.

Pros: take no weight

Michelin is the only brand I'm always completely happy with...Midrange and up tires from other brands like Bridgestone (Potenza 750 and similar) and BFG (G-Force Sport)...have been okay but there always end up being some characteristics that make me wish I'd spent the extra $100 on some Michelins, like getting really noisy after a year, not working well in the rain and slush, not balancing absolutely perfectly, weird resonant noises at various speeds, etc.

Pros: always completely happy
Cons: noisy after a year

30K miles on my A/S3's on the Mini. They still grip reasonably well in the dry; the wet is iffy. While there is still treadlife left, the tire howl has becoming bad. They were nearly silent when new.

Pros: grip reasonably well in dry
Cons: wet is iffy, tire howl
Vehicle: MINI
Mileage: 48280 km
