I just bought a set of Michelin Cross climate 2s for my Subaru Crosstrek. A specific winter-only set would be best, but a good all-season works too.
PS4s are incredible. They make any car they are on feel 800lbs lighter and handling nimbleness seems to come with.
On my daily car (e39 BMW) I use Michelin CrossClimate tires, because it doesn't get realy hot or really snowy here (North-Western Europe). As for all seasons, they are considered pretty good.
So I came to event day on my normal Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres. In practice, I found that on the R-spec I could do an 89 second lap, but consistently run at 92 seconds (I could do consecutive 90 second laps, but brakes would become the weak link after about 4 consecutive laps). On the street tyres I could do a 93 second lap, but due to brakes again, nominated at 95 second lap.
But I put some pilot sport 4s on the sti for the first time this year and... What can you say, it's a completely different car. For handling, it shares absolutely nothing in common with the same car on economy tires.
I like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. It's a well-rounded performance tire. Track ready, great handling wet and dry, comfortable on the road, 30k mi treadlife.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+'s, MUCH better than the Falkens that came with the car.
I bought the CrossClimate 2’s for my 2018 last year , we had 18” of unplowed snow and didn’t miss a beat. I tried to get stuck and couldn’t. They’ve been excellent in the rain. The few people that have driven my car always compliment the way it handles.
BTW PS4S are expensive as hell right now!!
40f is like ice skates . I drove in 4 inches on dunlops in my 18 wrx , wow , that was a challenge
