Overall, I really like the new wheel and tires, but I wouldn't say it's all upside either. The Michelins are just that much quieter and more comfortable (Granted the previous tires were nearing the end of their life, but they were always loud). I listen to the stereo 5-6 clicks lower than I used to as well. The grip is also far higher, and putting my right foot down mid corner no longer induces instant oversteer and spinning tires. It just hooks up and goes. It's still fun, but it definitely has changed the character of the car a fair bit. It's much more serious, and while I enjoy the added grip, there's certainly something to be said for what has been lost. On the bright side, when winter hits I'll get to have some more low(er) traction fun when I put the stock wheels back on.
Michelin CrossClimate 2’s are quite amazing. I highly recommend them.
Michelin defender best right longest lasting best mpg hands down I mount and balance tons of these tires it’s all I got on both my Prius
Recently I put Michelin Crossclimate+ XL’s on to replace my bald falkens.
My FIL just got rid of his stock goodyear wrangler tores at 45k miles and replaced them with Michelin all seasons. I used to have Michelin all seasons before I went to all terrain tires and the Michelins were great tires, just not meant to go off road.
I live in Calgary ????????. We are already in the dead of winter and we have Michelin Cross Climate on our 2021 Nissan Quashqui (Called Rouge Sport USA) Definitely better than “All Season” tires plus you can leave them on year round.
Hyperdrive currently have Michelin PS 5s on sale for a good price.
By all accounts, a great driving tyre.
+1 Michelin PS are excellent. Good all weather performance and good durability
I had the AS3+ on my MK7 and loved them. Car handled like it was on rails. The snow performance was not amazing. I just replaced them with the new AS4 and the turn in and handling doesn’t feel as crisp. It’s more mushy than the old version.
Honestly, the Michelins are generally more recommended here over the Conti's... and after 35k on my 99, the best thing I ever did was get rid of the frickin Michelins, and replaced 'em with Bridgestone Potenza's... SOOOO much better wet traction
