Tires MICHELIN or Continental
+1 for CC2’s.
Great all around tire on my M3 LR AWD 19” w/Boost in every area except range.
Sure it’s not a racing tire, but compared to the OEM Conti’s the wet and snow grip is sooo much better. Dry grip is almost as good. Durable, comfortable, great wear.
I'm personally impressed with cross climate 1 and 2 versions, used them for years managed to get up snowy hills proper awd's with less capable tyres couldn't get up.
Noticed no noise increase in the tesla, grip is still amazing and unlike some brands they grip well even down to the wear markers
Continental DWS06+ is my choice after a lot of research.
This is on a Performance where I like traction. It is quiet and efficient.
I have the Cross Climate 2’s. No regrets.
Not any noisier that I’ve noticed from the OEM Michelins. About 5% efficiency hit for me.
Tried some mich sport pilots, range killer. In the winter 20% loss but the cae handled so much better....
I replaced the original Continental Pro Contact tires with somewhat cheaper and longer tread wear rated (70k mile) Continental Pure Contact.
I put a set of these on mine (19”) about two months ago now. They’re doing well. My efficiency doesn’t seem to have been impacted much, they’re not really any louder than the OEM Continentals. They’re good in the rain, but they do perhaps have slightly less dry grip due to likely being a harder compound. Overall, I’ve been very happy with them.
I've got the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on my M3 Sr+. Europe.
From my experience between PSS and CSC05's The Contis are a lot less sticky (comparatively anyway) and have a bit more flex.
I totally agree with ALL your comments about the stock Michelins. It is a shame VW but such a crappy tire on such a fine car. The HXMX4 is one of the lowest rated all season tires based on user reviews at Tire Rack. I was really happy to send the Michelins to the recycling bin...
