I just got the Michelin CC2s installed two days ago replacing worn down Nokian WRG2s on my 2011 Toyota Sienna and so far the ride quality is significantly better compared to the Nokians. Heck the road noise that people were mentioning doesn't seem to be a thing on my vehicle. Road noise on the old Nokians was far far more noticeable.
Michelin Pilot Alpin 5
Dealt with the same dilemma, went with the Michelin’s in the same size. Only about 500 miles in with them so I can’t vouch for snow, but they have been phenomenal on-road, in wet weather, and on the light trails/dirt roads I frequent for larping. Definitely a world of difference compared to the stock Dunlops and the KO2s I had on my Jeep, which I hated because they were so heavy and notorious for sliding in anything but dry conditions.
Spent a month driving all over the mountains in Colorado winter with Pilot Alpin PA4s on Enkei Raijin 18”s, multiple snowy passes, zero drama. Excellent grip and stopping power, but also good on dry pavement and firm handling when you need it. 13/10
I run 225/40/18 Michelin XIce3 in my 2018R. I bought OEM 18inch Audi BBS CH wheels from a B7 S4 which fit perfectly.
Continental VikingContact 7s are my recommendation. I get an average of 4m of snow, where I live, every winter, and these tires have never let me down. And they're incredibly refined at highway speeds.
I run 18” on my ‘24. Pirelli Sottozero 3 on Pretoria wheels. We have Continental VikingContact on our ‘24 Alltrack. Both great set of winter wheels for Canadian winters.
I had 225/40 R18 on mine last Winter and had no issues with it. Tires were Conti's WinterContact TS870. I was very happy with those tires. We got some pretty sewere snow last year and my R pushed through like nothing.
I replaced my stock Toyo 19’s last spring with Michelin defender’s. Much more comfortable, but I find that the car doesn’t handle as well (doesn’t feel as responsive), which is what attracted me to the car when I bought it.
I had Michelin pzero and they wore out in less than 25k...
