Tires MICHELIN or Sava

I ran the AS's on my X3M and got about 20-22k miles average across two sets. Grip increased by a lot compared to the continentals that came originally.

For your climate I would definitely recommend the Defender 2s. The YK-GTX is quieter on paper, I don't think it's noticeably better. They're noticeably better in the winter than the Defender 2 but you're in SoCal.

I'm a huge fan of the YK-GTX, I've had a set, I've put a set on one of my parent's cars, the Defender 2 will have a significantly longer treadlife.

Najobičnije zimske Sava gume (nove doduše), prednji pogon, konzervativno korištenje kočnice i sve top!

Michelin CrossClimate 3, rilja sve ispod sebe, nigde maknuo nisam jedino kad uđeš u mix bljuzga/sneg/led deru se i osećaju se vibracije ali preciznost i kontrola su odlični.

You’d be fine with just winters. Source: daily a VW Mk7 GTI with winters in northern BC. But, AWD with snow tires and better ground clearance is much better.

Four 215/50/17 Michelin X-Ice Xi-3 snow tires. Good condition. 3 of the four have 9/32" tread remaining. 1 has a little more than 8/32". No patches or plugs.

I've been running Michelin Defenders in recent years - highly recommended.

I like the Michelin E.Primacy all season tires which I bought to replace the OEM Continentals. They are more efficient, ride quality is better, and noise is about equal to the OEM Continentals that came on my Model Y LR.

Chill mode shpild be more efficient, but I put my YP in sport mode when there's enough snow and ice on the road to be slippery. I drive with it in chill most of the time for efficiency and to save tires, but last winter the rear stepped out a few times in snow and ice at speeds from 25 MPH around a traffic circle and on a curve going up a steep grade on the interstate at 60 MPH even with Michelin Ice-X tires on 19s.

I'm lowered on coils but I still rub. I have shitty Westlake tires. I failed inspection because one of the tires was separating. Long story short got a used Michelin tire and well it rubs like shit.
