I run Michelin X-Ice studded tires here for our Northern Finland winters.
On snow covered back roads, it might as well be dry, that's how good they are. Stopping, cornering, no issues at all while driving normal to lightly spirited.
I've driven a friends' Tesla that had Continental tires and followed a few advices on Reddit and changed them for Michelins... the difference is day and night: grip is better, road noise is noticeably lower.
I would highly recommend - Michelin X-ICE Snow Blizzak WS90 Either are phenomenal tires for snow & ice. I have used multiple Blizzak WS series for my EVO 8/9/10s and STi's, and used the X-ICE on the last 3 STi's I had. I plan on using the Michelin X-ICE on the factory wheels on my 2022 GTI S, because I like the better cornering stability of the sidewall vs. Blizzak...the Blizzak's have an extremely soft sidewall, and if you corner too hard it feels like the tires just want to roll over. Remember to take them off once it gets above 40 degrees otherwise you are going to wear the tread out quickly because the cell material is so soft.
I also have a set of P-7's on my 2018 Bolt, excellent traction and very good in the wet. Have only put 5,000 miles on them but they don't seem to be wearing as fast as I would have thought.
So a few weeks back I opted for Pirelli's P7 tires in lieu of the OEM. I wanted some more traction for dry and wet weather. With OEM tires I was usually between 4.6 kW and 4.4 kW depending on streets or freeway, now I'm about 4.4 kW on streets and 4.2 kW. And there is better traction and control. They are also more comfortable to ride on and quieter too. These tires are 100% worth it.
when my older daughter got her license I got her the best Nokian Hakkapeliitta I could find, and she was very happy with them all winter.
I have been very happy with our Michelin X-Ice for the last 3 winters.
So he did just that, pulled the steel wheel out, added liquid rubber and sealed the fuck outta that hole from the inside. $15 is all it costed me while Firestone would’ve convinced my stupid asss to drop $150 on a tire. I’m so pissed lol
Our 2018 came with the 20" Contis and from new, there's been a vibration at highway speeds. Had all four wheels balanced twice and it didn't completely go away, and the second time the dealer tech said one of the tires was slightly out of round.
E93 here formerly with RFTs, they were awful, cracked MV4s and new RFTs every 3-4 months was the norm. Got some Michelin non-RFTs and never looked back
