I used to use the X Ices on my GTI and they were great even on that little 2wd. Great tires.
I just paid $988 USD for Michelin X-Ice, mount and balance. They're great snow tires. I had them on my '15 Legacy last winter in Northeastern US, so lots of snow, mix, ice, etc.
2 years ago I got Michelin X-ice 3’s (in a 17”) on my car, steelies from Costco, installed, and TPMS sensors for right about 1100 bucks (in the GTA).
And yet my S came with Falken Sincera (apparently 75,000 mi) tires that, other than being not the quietest rubber on earth, have been around a race track a few times, waded through a few inches of Chicago snow, and deal with the everyday "dodge dive dip dodge" nature of Atlanta driving no problem at up to 45MPG.
I have to add BFT blocks and 20mm spacers to avoid rubbing it looks better than stocks
I spent a good deal of time researching and went with the Michelin Defender LTX m/s tires to replace them. Expensive but fairly meaty, good ride quality and cornering, great in the rain, can't speak for snow. Expesive but worth it so far.
The Michelin s have tough carcases compared to other Chinese shity tires. Anyway, I would definitly recommend you install a known brand. I started with cheap tires but switched fast to Michelin s.
Micheline's are worth the expense, had cheap ones and I was like Bambi on ice, they could save your life,don't scrimp
i agree, i run falken rt-615 on my mustang, they are ok in the rain. old pavement when wet proves to be a little tricky at times.
Car was on all seasons that were almost new(falken 912's). Going down the highway at 35 in 4th gear, I was running about 1k rpm and any touch of the gas would spin the tires. Starting on a hill was impossible.
