Michelin Defender LTX M/S2. Top notch whether towing or prowling the town. Tough, quiet, very smooth ride. Due to lighter weight, one to two mpg more than OEM Hanook crapola.
Actually pretty good on snow.
Just picked these up a set of these same speck as yours for my MK7.5 GTI I had to run a 5mm rear spacers to avoid rubbing on the rear OEM shocks and passenger gas filler neck and wheel liner with Michelin PS4S tires 245/40/18 square set. Fronts fit okay wider fenders might help.
I have over 10k (km) on a michelin pilot road 5 and it can finish this season with it. Definitely getting another one next year. Great tiers
We live in KY and my daughter drives a Kia Soul. She was getting stuck in the smallest amounts of snow. We put these tires on her car because she was moving to Colorado and we hoped for the best. Her car goes like a tank there now. She has been through 2 winters and no issues with these tires. She lives in a ski town and it seems like it is always snowing there. She drives a lot for her job and I couldn't be happier with these tires. I have driven this car across the country with these tires, they are very quiet and grip the road great.
Michelin City Grip 2 100/80r16
Panaracer T-servs as many have suggested are narrow/fast in the dry, but I prefer the fatter Michelin ProTeks that have a larger contact patch for the wet.
If you're looking for an all around great summer & winter tire, I would recommend downsizing to 18" or 19" and getting the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Definitely not the best at dry acceleration or snow grip but overall an amazing tire at an affordable price.
I went to 18 inch wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tires hoping that it would help. Improved the ride and reduced my stress over blow outs on the 20 inch OEM tires, but didn\u2019t fix the noisy suspension.
My experience with the PS4S has not been very good. My PS4Ss blistered after two track weekends: Thunderhill West and Buttonwillow. They just don’t have the sidewall support you need as you speed up.
