Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

Got a set of 16 steelies with Michelin Ice-X's for my 2014. Have worked pretty well so far and I got at a good deal with Discount Tire.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is the go to summer tire for many.

Michelin X-Ice was my go to for my 14’s on my AW.

Have dws06 on our s4. Great tire so far. Comfortable and quiet compared to the Michelin as4 they replaced

I got Michelin Defender 225/65R16 and they are great tires. Got them at discount tire and they are not cheap, but worth it IMO

I would choose Michelin AS4s over the Contis if they're available and in your price range. They offer better MPG and ride comfort over the Contis while delivering more grip in the wet and dry. Just an all around better tire, but the Conti is still great albeit a little heavier than Michelin.

My stock tires were low on tread by 30k and needed replacing - I got Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3s and have been happy with them so far, including driving in freezing rain conditions last week.

Summer Tires: Pireli Scorpion AS plus 3s

* These tires are super smooth and quiet, amazing touring/highway tire.

* Good traction in wet conditions and in light snow but not as good in deep snow as the CC2s.

Are used to put Pirelli‘s on my Panamera turbo. I found that they had much lower longevity than the Michelins.

I’ve had these for about 18 months / 15K miles on my 18’ AWD LX and I can’t say I’m a fan. Although they are amazing in the rain. I ironically wish for rain sometimes for longer trips because they drive SO much better on wet pavement compared to dry.

- The road noise is ridiculous on an AWD model.

- They’re wearing very fast for tires with only 15K.

- Drop in fuel efficiency once installed (~2MPG drop).

- Rocks, twigs, and everything else you can imagine get stuck in the grooves and can lead to a rough ride.
