I've driven a friends' Tesla that had Continental tires and followed a few advices on Reddit and changed them for Michelins... the difference is day and night: grip is better, road noise is noticeably lower.
I would highly recommend - Michelin X-ICE Snow Blizzak WS90 Either are phenomenal tires for snow & ice. I have used multiple Blizzak WS series for my EVO 8/9/10s and STi's, and used the X-ICE on the last 3 STi's I had. I plan on using the Michelin X-ICE on the factory wheels on my 2022 GTI S, because I like the better cornering stability of the sidewall vs. Blizzak...the Blizzak's have an extremely soft sidewall, and if you corner too hard it feels like the tires just want to roll over. Remember to take them off once it gets above 40 degrees otherwise you are going to wear the tread out quickly because the cell material is so soft.
I have been very happy with our Michelin X-Ice for the last 3 winters.
Just replaced them with the Michelin Crosstreads because I want better winter and overall braking performance.
Switched to Michelin CrossClimate2 in the EU squared tire size so we can do rear to front rotations.
I’d recommend Michelin CrossClimates. They’re quite good in the snow (3 peak rated) and in all weather situations. Quite a breakthrough in tire tech IMO.
Think I'm going to get Michelin Cross-Climates in lieu of dedicated snows this year. Don't get much snow in NoVa, but I've always been happy to have winter tires both in the cold and for the few times it does snow. I've read an awful lot about the Michelins being almost as good as a dedicated winter tire in the snow, so I'll be interested to see how they behave -- they'll almost certainly be good enough for my needs.
I got Michelin Pilot Sport AS4. The responsiveness and grip I got compared to stock is insane, especially if they got a bit less pressure than asked by Mazda.
I have these on my jacked up G37 hatchback, and they're not all that quiet and have progressively gotten louder with time. They do seem to be wearing well though, which is a surprise for a Michelin.
this. plus they are super scary in the rain
