A good set of PS4s tires is more than enough for a daily. You wont have problems with rain or dry traction.
I am running X Ice3 on the stock Austin wheels for the second winter now and have had no problems in Western PA. We don't get much snow per se, but the car feels confident in snow and ice, in particular stopping and turning.
I put on a full set of Michelin XIce3 P205/55R16 with steel rims just before the first big snow hit and I'm glad I did. There's nothing like having a proper set of winter tires.
Once Old Man Winter came knocking, I found a set of 18” Talladega take-offs from a ‘13 Golf R locally on Craigslist and fitted with Michelin Alpin PA4 (225/40/18). Dry and wet winter handling is fantastic - feels like spring or fall.
The Michelin icex tires are great in snow, provide a good ride, and are quiet.
I installed Micheline X-Ice xi3s a few days prior -- Boy was I impressed. I feel so much more confident in it than my 4runner. I even made it up a small hill that was basically just an ice sheet from a stop. I'm taking it out skiing this weekend with multiple inches of snow in the forecast, after last night I'm quite confident in the little GTI.
Happy with the snow handling Have micheline X-ice tires on, big upgrade there compared to the stock Continental tires. Handles great in the snow and on the ice up here in Saskatoon, SK.
i run Michelin lattitudes after going through the OEM GY s at 30K miles.
Used a higher quality tyre last time : Michelin Alpine 5...
I had used cheap winters before but you really do notice the difference in quality, grip etc
I'm running 235 Michelin PS2's on my Jetta VRT w/ 17x8 ASA AR1's. I've been spinning like mad in 1st and 2nd at only 10 psi lately, but it's been in the 30's for forever. 3rd has been gripping perfect at 18 psi though.
