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’ve been driving Michelin Climacontact (285/20) for 4 years and two sets. A dedicated tire will always be better but for me it is a good compromise.
I don’t have a lot of experience with winter tires, but the Michelin Pilot Alpins I used last winter were fantastic.
I've switched to Michelin latitude Cross tyres now though. A bit more expensive but also a great tyre
Michelin Cross Climate 2 is what I have currently. Love em.
I got Michelins on my Ram 1500 (2020 Laredo). They are very nice. Great ride and great traction. Haven’t worn too bad either.
As a person with 245/30/19 michellin pilot sport 4s on my passat, i approve of your car.
The D2s are doing better on dry surfaces and who knows if they'll see snow.
Previously I had Michelin Defender xlt. While I would prefer a more pavement oriented tire the Coopers where the only load range E tires I could get on a 3 day turnaround when I needed them.
I liked the Michelins but the xl load rating was just too squirmy while towing a 7000lb trailer.
I purchased Michelin Optimum+ Ceramic Beam 26”/16” just the other day. I chose them because I wanted ceramic silicone and the Michelin were a great price at $15 each. After putting the “right” adapter on that fit the button hole, that’s when I found out that the Trax’s wiper arm isn’t the correct length for these blades. The space between the button hole and the end is really small whereas the bracket on the blade and the photo in the instruction pamphlet show that the space should be over 1” to accommodate most of the bracket. The blade “fit” and snapped in, but I could tell it wasn’t right. There was too much play and the arm could separate from the blade by just bending the blade. Also the Trax’s arm is curved on the bottom, fitting perfectly into the OEM blades. Michelin’s website said that the 26” blade would fit. Oddly though, it said the passenger side was 14” instead of 16”.
