Michelin LTX MS! Great traction, super quiet on the highway, awesome in the snow.
Pros: great traction, super quiet
I ran the AS's on my X3M and got about 20-22k miles average across two sets. Grip increased by a lot compared to the continentals that came originally.
Pros: grip increased a lot
Vehicle:
BMW
For your climate I would definitely recommend the Defender 2s. The YK-GTX is quieter on paper, I don't think it's noticeably better. They're noticeably better in the winter than the Defender 2 but you're in SoCal.
I'm a huge fan of the YK-GTX, I've had a set, I've put a set on one of my parent's cars, the Defender 2 will have a significantly longer treadlife.
Pros: significantly longer treadlife
Cons: quieter on paper
Michelin CrossClimate 3, rilja sve ispod sebe, nigde maknuo nisam jedino kad uđeš u mix bljuzga/sneg/led deru se i osećaju se vibracije ali preciznost i kontrola su odlični.
Pros: preciznost i kontrola odlični
Cons: vibracije u mix bljuzga
You’d be fine with just winters. Source: daily a VW Mk7 GTI with winters in northern BC. But, AWD with snow tires and better ground clearance is much better.
Pros: confident winter driving
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Four 215/50/17 Michelin X-Ice Xi-3 snow tires. Good condition. 3 of the four have 9/32" tread remaining. 1 has a little more than 8/32". No patches or plugs.
Pros: Good condition, 9/32" tread
Cons: one tire 8/32" tread
I've been running Michelin Defenders in recent years - highly recommended.
Pros: highly recommended
They suck after a bunch of heat cycling sadly. I like the ECS02 on my F even in winter they are fine. I just don’t act up. Yes they won’t grip as well as they should be drive like a civilized person you’ll be ight
Pros: fine even in winter
Cons: suck after heat cycling
Vehicle:
Lexus GS
I had them, then had them removed. They are far from efficient, nor quiet. The stopping distance on packed snow was awful. Lateral snow grip was bad. Only thing they excelled at was deep water
Pros: excelled at deep water
Cons: not efficient, not quiet
