Tires MICHELIN or Continental
I bought the cross climate 2's for my wife's mazda cx-5. They are amazing tires so far, she loves the traction with the provide. They grip really well in heavy rainfall and xant wait to see them perform in the winter.
I'm running a 225/45/18 on an 8.5 wide 18, tires are Michelin PS4, and there is a significant upgrade in comfort and smoothness.
I have Michellin AS4's and am in love with them. Compared to the OEM tires that were on there, these make cornering and the overall driving experience much more fun.
I've always had Michelin X-Ice and they're quiet, last a good while and are very good in snow and ice up here in Canada.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, highly recommend.
I had a set of Contis on my mk4 GTI and did a track day with them and they did great.
I run PS4AS's on my R, and I've been VERY happy with them. Good all-season tire that performs almost as well as PS4S in the dry.
I had the cross climate2 installed last fall and I'm very happy with them. I researched all season tires and found more positive information on the cc2 than others.
Personally, I would not get the CrossClimates if you are in Florida. They are like a hybrid winter tire with the snowflake and would probably be great in the rain but might wear quickly down there. I put a set (the car version) on our Corolla before we sent it to our kid up north and they were okay but felt a little "clompy" and loud over bumps.
Just in case anyone is wondering ContiWinterContact TS810 S are the worst snow tires you can buy. I've got them on my car and as soon as snow hits they feel like worn-out all seasons. I think they were only designed for cold dry autobahns, not actual snow. Horrible.
