MICHELIN › Tires

4th winter with these, Montréal, Québec. Can’t barely see the difference with winters. 2025 Golf GTI, It’s the driver stupid…

Pros: good in winter

I went with the Crossclimate 3 Sport myself, and very happy so far. Haven\u2019t seen proper snow yet, but then we very rarely do where I live in Germany. Great in cold and wet conditions, and WAY better than a true winter tire when conditions are more favorable.

Pros: Great in cold, wet

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I like em. And they ride way better than stock. Didn't have problems last winter but granted it's been a while since a true blizzard.

Pros: better ride, no winter problems

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I’m running the pirellis. Fantastic tire, they are a new all season tire and are pretty much the same as the contis. Pirellis has multiple different types of all seasons that are genuinely pretty bad but these ones are really good. Quiet, comfortable and can grip the road so very well. I was hesitant when I was buying them as I was looking at the contis since it’s been on the market much longer but I’m really happy I went with the pirellis. Either way you cannot go wrong.

For reference I’m running this on a built golf r pushing over 4xx hp and they are fantastic, they feel much better than the indy500’s I was running before and they feel identical to the dws cars I’ve been in.

Pros: quiet, comfortable, grip road well

Cons: some Pirellis are bad

Grip:

I run these on my R in the winter in 235/40r18. They do fine in midwest winters. Handled about 4-5 inches of snow, some slush, some freezing rain/ice. No complaints from me for the price

Pros: fine in midwest winters

Cons: handled snow and ice

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Grip:

I’m a winter tire guy. Have been since my MK6 TDI. I’ve never been stuck. With the manual transmission and grabby tires, I just rip through that shit. Vredstein set for me. “Performance” winter set.

Pros: never stuck, grabby, rips through snow

Noise:

'24 Golf R that came with Hankooks. Just hit 14k miles and they're still going with about 4/32nd's left. Definitely getting louder as the tread goes lower. Overall, not terrible tires but don't have a lot of feel and grip is reasonable.

Pros: reasonable grip

Cons: not a lot of feel, getting louder
