I'm happy with my Michelin cross climate. In Minneapolis. They're okay in the snow. Good in wet and dry.
Swapped my hankooks for the defenders last year.
Best tire hands down is the defender. It’s quiet, grippy, wears well. Won’t buy anything else for the summer seasons (run dedicated winters).
After several months with the Pilot A/S 4 tires, all is well. No blowouts, sidewall bubbles or bent rims. You can tell the difference the XL tires make. At first I thought I detected a little rougher ride but soon afterwards I am fine with the ride. Tire noise on certain surfaces is a little louder but overall fine. We will see how it goes with winter coming on, north of Philadelphia.
For winter tires the ice-x by Michelin are fantastic. But I was not impressed with the stock tires especially in heavy rain.
This is my second season rocking the pilot alpin 5’s with no issues. Only issue I have is with the design of the induction wheels: they trap snow inside the wheel and if it sinks to the bottom surface when you’re parked, it can freeze and cause a bad vibration because it puts the wheels off balance.
I had your predicament last year, and went with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3s. Stickier than R-S4s, but last a lot longer than RT660s. I’m pretty happy with them now that the year is over. I’d definitely recommend them.
Earlier this year, I picked up some Goodyear Reliant All Seasons for my MK4 (2002) Jetta GLS and I’ve been VERY pleased with them for daily driver tires. They have an “H” speed rating, stick pretty well in the turns, and Walmart had them for a shockingly low $67 a piece! Best part? Made in USA!!
Went for CC2's - and I cannot complain so far. Haven't had the first real strong snow day, but they have been good in wet conditions so far.
My OEM Michelin PS4’s were gone after about 14k miles of abuse (new car excitement).
I had some on my LR4 and they were completely destroyed after 15k miles. Thankfully they had a 60k mile warranty so Michelin paid for a good portion of the Pirellis that went on next.
