Tires MICHELIN or WEST LAKE

Michelin road 6s. Not budget but I'm sitting at 10k miles and have probably another 4 to 6k till they need replaced.

I’ve been riding the defenders two plus years in the Reno Tahoe area

I commute on 80 in all kinds of weather especially snow and honestly never had a problem

My Winter set up includes Y rated tires, however they are not a Winter tire per Se. They are all season/ all-weather tires with the 3MPSF severe winter rating.

Get Micheline X Ice North 4 of Nokian. All 3 of our cars have studded tires and we are the only ones with traction through all winter.

Love Michelin PS in any car TBH

I had cross climate twos on my Chevy Bolt in northern Michigan, they were awesome for snow, but definitely hurt my range. I'd consider them again but just know that your range will be affected.

When I had my Mk7 R, I put on Westlake winter tires and they were dirt cheap yet surprisingly very good.

If you’re driving that much I would just go with the Michelin defender 2s. Personally I wouldn’t buy any tires that aren’t Michelin they are by far the best imo

I’m on my second set. I buy them used, as factory take offs. $800/ set cash. Someone is always selling a set when I need them. Good on highway and light off road, stone/gravel. Horrible in snow. a little slippery in rain.

I have a set of PS4S’s that I have on right now. I find the Michelin’s to be horrible in the rain.
