I went with the AS3+ because of the good wet braking and wet grip over the competition. It could be just me but Goodyear tires seem to wander sideways on the highway a lot. I notice I have to pay more attention to keep the vehicle centered in the lane.
I run grand-touring summers (H-rated Michelin Energy, used on the base Mini) on my Yaris year-'round here (Texas) and they are great, only getting a little scrabbly in sub-freezing temperatures. The summer Energy Saver (not the A/S) is the best all around tire I have ever had. Smooth, quiet, good steering response, excellent braking, tons of grip. If you slam on the brakes, it just STOPS without a bunch of scratching around and ABS intervention.
Passat Alltrack 2021, Goodyear Ultragrip Ice 2. Sweden
Michelin X Ice Snow for winter tires on my VW. Improved grip and stopping distance below 7C compared to all weather tires, even when there is no snow or ice.
I received my winter set today. Since we only get a handful of actual snow days a season and most of it cleaned within hours, I went with a "performance winter" set, the Michelins pilot alpine 5.
Michelin is the best tire brand.
I've never regretted buying the best tires I can afford. Often Michelin and Goodyear, but sometimes others too.
I typically buy Cooper tires, good quality without the cost of Michelins.
I warrantied my OEM set (replaced at 14k miles) and never contacted michelin myself, just went to discount tire and inquired about it with them. As for the tires wearing out after 14k miles: I did do some occasional aggressive driving, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Evenly worn all around and rotated every 5k.
I have not been impressed with any recent set of Michelin tires I’ve had. Hard to balance and rough rides. I loved a set of General RT43s I had. Smooth as butter.
