Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

I'm not a tire snob, but I will add these to points on my current experience with the A/S 3: Great balance between handling and comfort IMO At about 21k miles of use, mine are well worn- I will likely replace these at only 25k or so. I'm curious if others have had similar experience.

Never had the Dunlops, but I had the AS/3 on my old Avant. They were fantastic. Not a peep of tire noise and hardly any howl in corners compared to the OE Pirelli P6.

I had really only planned on getting pss so it didn't really matter

They've offered just as much snow/ice traction as the Blizzaks that I had previously used but it's the wet and dry weather traction where the Pirellis really shine and that's really important to me since the roads are mainly dry in the winter unless you venture up to the mountains.

The Michelin xice3 however are an absolute joy to drive on dry/wet and will handle snow/ice very well. They pretty much ride like a quality all-season. As an all-around tire the Michelin is much, much better.

While the two tires are very good, the X-ice3 is better at handling wet traction.

For my son's new 2015 Jetta SE, he ordered the following from Tirerack for this winter, and he is loving them: 4 x 195/65R15 MICHELIN X-ICE XI3

My winter set. 18x8 Niche Targa et42, Michelin Pilot Alpin 225/40/18

My current car, a 1991 BMW 318is, I got it with dry-rotting tires. Noticeable grip issues with them. I quickly got them changed to the best all-season option I found, which was the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S.

i also get this! my car has 20k and I am ready for new tired my pirelli are crap! hopefully that fixes the issue...
