I popped a tire on the lip of one of California's ubiquitous ~~potholes~~ sink holes. If I ever buy another "no spare" car it better have airless tires like the [Michelin uptis](https://michelinmedia.com/michelin-uptis/) on it standard.
The AS Pilot Sport 4’s (not to get confused with Pilot Sport 4S) are are almost up to par with Michelin X-Ice in the snow and are amazing in dry conditions.
Michelin tires are a softer rubber than Bridgestone tires. This means that Michelin tires will give you a slightly better grip on the road, but the trade off is tire life/wear.
Michellines have always been better, but you always want to look at reviews for your specific tire.
With that said, I got the Michelin Defender LTX for my car and I've never experienced better traction, especially during rain and a 2-3 inches of water on the road. You barely even feel it.
I will say, we got a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2s at Costco for our Subaru Impreza and love them.
I got michelin xice3 I think on my cadillac for Toronto slush and snow it's great
I like Michelin for nice ride quality tires for an appliance car. Replaced the Pirellis on our Tiguan recently with Michelin Defenders and they are as smooth as anticipated. Big improvement.
I'll second the opinions on the pa4's. They definitely lack some grip compared to a more pure snow tire, but they are a good compromise, and I definitely run out of clearance before I run out of snow traction.
I would stay away from the Pilot Sport A/S 3+. I put a pair on the back of my 15 E550 Coup. 4,000 miles and they were bald.
