Tires MICHELIN or SUMITOMO

Spent a month driving all over the mountains in Colorado winter with Pilot Alpin PA4s on Enkei Raijin 18”s, multiple snowy passes, zero drama. Excellent grip and stopping power, but also good on dry pavement and firm handling when you need it. 13/10

I run 225/40/18 Michelin XIce3 in my 2018R. I bought OEM 18inch Audi BBS CH wheels from a B7 S4 which fit perfectly.

sumitomo is significantly better than any no name Chinese tire

IMO Michelin LTX M/S Have been the gold standard for SUV/LT highway tires for a long time now. Recently they've been discontinued in favor of the second iteration that just came out.

I also have a set (of the V1 tires) on my 2018 GX460 and they have been flawless.

At the time we replaced ours, the major need was traction in wet and snowy weather as the base tires just sucked in the slightest amount of weather. So we got MICHELIN CrossClimate2 tires and they’ve been great for corners, rain, snow and basically everything the low rolling resistance ev tires sucked at.

I've rode Michelin commander III's for years. I've consistently got around 12-15k out of a set of tires and been a daily rider for years.

Michelin Commander 2. I just replaced on an Ultra Limited after 24,000 miles. Went with Commander 3 this time: only 3,000 on the 3's so nothing to report yet.

I fucking hate Michelin except for the Cross Climate 2, that shit is great.

I recently got Michelin defender 2, not as smooth as cross climate, but high durability and reasonably quite

Never waste money on Michelin tires. Also no point in paying for long lasting tires of any kind if you barely drive. Get less expensive name brand tires and you will be just fine.
