I had XIce's on my S4 and loved them, for sure getting them on my R Smooth on plowed roads, but turned the S4 into a tank when it snowed.
Cooper discoverer st max, I drive lots of gravel roads and get lots of mileage out of them, I like bfg at’s but the gravel chews them up
I got my Michelin X-Ice Xi3 winter tires today as well as the rebate card.
I had the Pilot Alpines on my Z4M Coupe last winter. Loved them for below freezing dry conditions, and I was driving past stuck subarus in snowy conditions as well.
Michelin xice3 are surprisingly quiet and grippy on the dry.
This is why modern winter tires like the Michelin X-Ice that have rather "docile" tread patterns still do amazingly well on ice and snow, and that is a compound that is still useful in the cold.
I once had about 4mm (barely anything) of tread left on some Michelin xice. I switched to a set of brand new all seasons... The traction on snow and ice that I had with the 4mm was so much greater than AS tires.
Depends on which brand you're interested in. In the past I've bought BFGs and Ingold's in Durham was my jam, but this time I'm going with Coopers and Discount Tire seems to have the best price.
For all seasons, get Michelin pilot a/s 3+. Way better than the Conti extremecontacts I had before. Probably not quite as good in the snow but who cares. So smooth, relatively quiet, and great grip for an all season.
Just put a set of these on my Jetta GLI, ride quality is excellent, turn in is superb, they are communicative, work great I’m dry rain AND snow.
