Tires MICHELIN or Achilles
I'm running the achilles atr sport 2s. These are a cheap tire and won't compare to a michelin or conti but they're pretty good for the price. I have about 30k miles on them, they got me through utah mountain winters, and I've been running -2.5 degrees of camber all around. So for the money they did their job.
I just put the CC2’s on my 18 GSW 4motion. I couldn’t be more pleased! Performance on wet road- exceptional. Snow- not quite as good as a dedicated snow tire, but damn close. I’ve rallied up the canyon to Alta on snow packed days, not once did they get squirrelly.
I've had experience with both and while both are absolutely fantastic the Michelin tires felt like they warmed up a few minutes faster and handled the rain a bit better.
I put Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's on my '18 S4, and they were decent at everything and snow tested as competent, for a high performance a/s tire - but very expensive, and overkill for stock Passat, IMHO.
I've been a big fan of my Michelin Premier All Seasons
Most consistent tire when it comes to not being out of round and balancing with the least amount of weight - Michelin. Thus they always ride excellent right out of the box and all the way until they are wore out.
Michelin premieres perform great in the snow, about as good as winter tires (reviews on tirerack) Turned my prius into a beast in the snow (for a prius).
I purchased Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, from Tirerack, my god they are better than the ExtremeContact DWS tires (which I used for 8-10 years).
I ran them on three cars. They are my favorite Budget tire they stretch well and look good stretched. I have never had them lose air on me. They are a little louder than some tires I think but not by much. I have them on my GTI right now and can't say enough for the price of them.
I also plan on installing the Achilles tires in the near future after powder coating my wheels, am anxious to see how they wear and handle
