I went the opposite. They both handle about the same. I only got about 18k out of the mpss. I'm at 10 on the continentals, and they still look brand new.
I had numbers 1 and 2 on my 2016 GS 350. The Michelin’s were better by far.
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4. Great longevity. Wear evenly/ not loud. Good drip in all conditions.
Bought my wife's car with a set of new Michelins on it, which are arguably top tier tires.
They lasted 60,000 miles. Quiet riding, predictable handling, wore evenly.
I put a set of Mastercraft tires on it as replacement. 1/3 the cost and they were not the "cheapest" by far.
They were definitely noisier and harder riding. They lasted about 25,000 miles.
They have a slightly different speed rating (Y vs. W) due to whatever the differences in the compound they use are. This can mean that they'll wear differently to the 2 other tyres you've got on the vehicle, but realistically it probably won't make a huge/noticeable difference.
I have the Michelin CrossClimate 2s on my car. Amazing tire, I love the handling but they are LOUD.
I live in Michigan and we have gotten ~5-6" that have lingered and drifted over the past 10ish days. I haven't had a single issue or even a scare with Michelin Cross Climate 2's (all season and not even a winter tire). It's hard to describe but I thought our driveway would be my most challenging area. It's gravel and I have to make a slightly uphill and tight u-turn while backing out of my garage to use the turn around. It made light work of it and actually pushed some snow as I was making my way down to the road. It's been great for me.
General G-Max RS or Firestone Indy 500s are solid options aswell with good grip and way friendlier pricing. I ran Indy 500s on my old Camaro and they felt great in normal driving without being loud or sketchy in the rain.
I have used the Yokohama IG88 or whatever it's called and Michelin X Ice Snow. The Yoko's got me into an accident, the Michelins were still fun to drive spiritedly in the dry while also being confidence-inspiring in bad conditions.
Mine were doing that within a year. Michelins are a bit infamous for getting shallow cracks all over the place.
