Tires MICHELIN or SUNNY

I had XIce's on my S4 and loved them, for sure getting them on my R Smooth on plowed roads, but turned the S4 into a tank when it snowed.

I got my Michelin X-Ice Xi3 winter tires today as well as the rebate card.

I had the Pilot Alpines on my Z4M Coupe last winter. Loved them for below freezing dry conditions, and I was driving past stuck subarus in snowy conditions as well.

Michelin xice3 are surprisingly quiet and grippy on the dry.

This is why modern winter tires like the Michelin X-Ice that have rather "docile" tread patterns still do amazingly well on ice and snow, and that is a compound that is still useful in the cold.

I once had about 4mm (barely anything) of tread left on some Michelin xice. I switched to a set of brand new all seasons... The traction on snow and ice that I had with the 4mm was so much greater than AS tires.

For all seasons, get Michelin pilot a/s 3+. Way better than the Conti extremecontacts I had before. Probably not quite as good in the snow but who cares. So smooth, relatively quiet, and great grip for an all season.

Just put a set of these on my Jetta GLI, ride quality is excellent, turn in is superb, they are communicative, work great I’m dry rain AND snow.

Michelins, Contis and Bridgestones are all top end tires its hard to go wrong with for most buyers in my experience, but you're paying for that value.

I have the same Michelin tires, and they are fine tires if you drive the speed limit and not have to make any sudden stops... It is reasonably quiet, and handles pretty well in the dry and wet. These tires even got me home during a few snow storms, but almost got stuck on an ice covered hill, but managed to get out of that mess with some careful driving.
