Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

Some all weather tires - like the Michelin CrossClimate2s - can outperform cheap / low tier winter tires.

If you do go for all weathers, get the Michelin Cross Climate 2s. It always surprises me how good they are in snow. They're probably the closest you'll get to winter tire performance.

Michelin crossclimate 2 is hands down the best all season tire. They perform very well at at temperatures and road conditions. They feel like a snow tire on snow, shed water in the rain very well and holds traction on dry roads like a summer tire. They also hold up very well for a long time

I had a set of michelin x-ice/snow... best damn tires i ever drove on i was going to get another pair to replace them but they were fresh out when i needed tires and i needed them bad. damn car felt bulletproof no matter what i was driving in

Im using michelin pilot alpin 5 on my e91 not awd. I also use weight on the back of the car for more grip. Im living on the mountain between italy and austria. No other tire work Better in my opinion.

I fitted the same tires this summer on my Audi A5. UK, Essex. Very pleased with them for now, done about 3000 mls on them. My only concern about this tires is life expectancy.

I bought Michelin Cross climate 2 tires 3 years ago and they solved all my traction problems.

I've tested them on track at 30c. Not ideal but they're not going to pop.

They'll be fine at -10c too, we're usually testing below that.

I think my defenders only have 65k - but they were considerably less expensive.

Perso j'ai une expérience assez bof niveau espérance de vie dans le temps, j'ai jamais acheté de Michelin en neuf (sauf pour ma bécane, j'ai pas voulu jouer avec une sous-marque) mais j'ai eu plusieurs fois des Michelin d'occasion, disons "proches de la date de péremption", et j'ai remarqué qu'ils ont une forte tendance à craqueler, plus que d'autres marques moins prestigieuses.
