Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

I've used Michelin Defenders for years and have been very happy with them.

Michelin tyres. They’re one of the most reassuring in wet road conditions. The car behaves predictably in heavy rain conditions with those tyres fitted.

I have cross climates on my truck and I can't believe how good they are. It's the first time I've ever been impressed with a tire

Given that you live in Toronto I would say Michelin Defender. All season tires, but absolutely amazing in snow.

I recently replaced model 3 tires to pirrelli, they are quiter and the ride is smooth.

I ended up getting the Pirelli Sottozero 3's (winter) back in 2018. They've been great for the last two winters. No idea how the summer tires do but would definitely buy another set of their winter tires if I needed to.

Got lucky and read this info somewhere years ago when I bought my 15. Pirelli Winter Sottozeros 3's, the thing is unbelievable in any type of inclement weather.

I honestly look forward to swapping to my downsized 205/55 16 winter tires (GSW) because they're noticeably less harsh and quieter than the stock 45 series Pirelli P7s on rougher roads.

Honestly this isn't all that uncommon in Michelins and Michelin won't warrant it, they call it normal.

I have the same tires on our 12. Car currently has just shy of 40k miles, I took the car out to see how it would perform in some snow we had gotten. The tires were rock solid and almost caused me to crash twice. Once I was doing less than 5mph slowly applied brakes on a very slight incline and just slid, not on ice but snow. Second was similar getting into a parking lot. Maybe in just spoiled in my S4 with blizzaks, but I'll be replacing these with something different soon
