Tires MICHELIN or Vredestein

Since michelin cross climate is a bit too expensive for my shit box of a daily i used to run these https://www.sava-tires.com/sava/emea/tires/passenger/all-weather/ didn't have any problems.

I put a set of Vredestein Quatracs on my wife's MB E350 4matic. They absolutely transformed the car for the better. I'd like to find some for my GTI. I highly recommend them.

Defenders are top of the line. Yokohama is good but usually slightly stiffer/harder tread compounds. Michelins are designed to be safe from the second you put them on till about 2/32 of tread or 4-5 years when the rubber dries out. If you drive a lot and value quality and safety Michelin is king.

Check out the Michelin Wild Enduro tires. Much cheaper than Maxxis, but, in my opinion, as good or even better

I bought these tires based on Tire Rack's review and it is spot on. The one word in the review that stuck with me and I'd have to agree with is luxurious. They feel that way. They are clear to me the best tires I've ever owned. And, I have been driving for more than 45 years. They are quiet, handle really well in both dry and wet.

Im on my 2nd set of Michelin Premier A/S and I really like them on both my 14 Jetta TDI and my parents 15 Passat TDI. Its a decent budget Michelin that is good for about 50k miles.

I live in MN and switched out OEM ecopias on my '17 Mazda to some michelin cross climate+'s and absolutely love them! Drove thru a blizzard with them and thing handled beautifully on unplowed roads!

I put the car version of these on our Corolla last year before we sent it to our kid in CT last fall -- they said the car was great all winter, plus you can use them all year 'round. They just called us after someone blew a stop sign and pulled right out in front of them and said the car was able to stop so hard that everything flew into the dashboard which is the opposite of the Continental LRR tires that came on it where the ABS would just click uselessly on dry pavement. I didn't get to drive on them very much before we shipped the car up there, but they feel like a regular all-season tire, not a squirmy snow tire. I did pay $10 extra to get the V-rated version for a little extra stiffness.

I had Michelin X-Ice on my wife’s car this past season and they were by far the quietest snow tire I’ve ever had so I stay stick with Michelin.

There were long sections of I-90 especially through Washington that were loud as f***. I don’t know if it’s damage due to chains or what, but I had to endure hours of this nonsense. Maybe it was my tires? They are Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 235/40R18 inflated up to 39 psi for the extra load. They’re silent on most other roads though.
