Tires MICHELIN or OEM Volkswagen

Get michelin CC2. Excellent snow performance but you can also keep them on year around and expect 60k moles out of them.

If you can only afford one set of tires, get an all-weather set. Michelin CrossClimates are a good example.

Buy Michlin. Best money per mile. I ALWAYS get 90k+

I have Michelin PS A/S 4 on my STI and they are the best tires I've ever had. Wet traction and hydroplaning resistance was also much improved.

Michelin Primacy! Just changed my set from yokohama and the difference is evident.

Been using Michelin cross climate 2s for 3 winters. Been satisfied with the performance. previously used to do the all season and switch to dedicated winters which were nokian winters.

Maintenance on the car is minimal. Yes tires and brakes will go, but just put money away for those things. I changed from the OEM wheels and tires to 18s and now get 30k miles on Michelin PS4s.

I've never had a set of tires ever make it to their lesser 50-65k warranty mileage, until michelins, which have lasted longer than their 80k warranty for me, both defenders on compact car and ltx on 1/2 ton truck, and both were smoother and quieter.

Michelin PA4s are better for dry, wet and a little ice. They are not so good in snow. I had them on my Golf R. Although I never got stuck, they don't inspire confidence in snow.

These Michelin Primacy or whatever they are called are bad... Our car is due for new summer tires and they won't be Michelin. Michelin Corp has lost me as a potential customer forever.
