Tires MICHELIN or Continental
The CC2 is money. Great in everything I’ve thrown at it including significant snow. I’ve run them on both of our cars. The only semi negative I’ve encountered is they can’t be rotated in the typical method.
Continental DWS 06+ I have them on a Porsche Cayman and they are fantastic in all 4 seasons.
Znam jer na oba auta imam te ljetne i te zimske.
Just picked up practically new Michelin CrossClimate2 for our 328i Gran Turismo, probably the last set of tires I'll buy for that car, which has been great.
Continental CrossContact LX25 all day long. I've ran LTXs and those aforementioned GoodYear Comfort Drives and the Contis excel them in every aspect.
I'll say that I used to insist on Continentals on my VWs, but when they weren't available for my former Touareg, the Michelin Cross Climate 2 was highly recommended and I felt I was settling, but took them as they were what was available. Then I found that there was magic about those tires! In all my life I had never driven a vehicle that performed as my Touareg did with those Cross Climates. I even had a long time VW friend drive it and he said that it felt as if the Touareg was floating down the highway. The tires were perfectly quiet
We have Michelin XIce 3’s on our QX50. No issues climbing Mariner St, Johnson St or David
If you only drive in snow 2 or 3 times a year, I’d go with the continental cross contact, it’s a quiet, comfortable ride and all around great all season tire, also comes standard of some of the premium Toyotas like the Venza.
I've run various versions of the Contis including the EC Sports & DWS 06+. Don't get me wrong, they are fantastic tires, but they do have drawbacks. I don't like how soft the sidewalls are, the tire profile isn't that appealing, tire dressing smears on the sidewalls leaving streaks, and they don't have a treadwear warranty (summer tires). If you are in an area where you are able to run summers year round, there is no reason not to do it other than sacrificing a tiny bit of tread life. Contis also don't seem to balance up as well as some of the other premium brands. I've had more issues with vibrations from Conti tires than I have from some others.
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.
