I have these and so far they are good. I think Im at 24k miles and they are nowhere near replacement. The stock tires were around 225wh per mile and these are giving me 218wh per mile (averaged over thousands of miles) Noise is always subjective abit - tires get nosier the more they wear - so any new tires will be immediately noticeable. Im not sure I buy into the whole sound deadening material stuff.
Is there a specific reason you have to get spiked tires? Bear in mind if you live in Bergen or oslo there is a fee to drive in the city, which can be quite expensive through the winter, unless you are driving up a mountain to a cabin or something i would reccomend spikeless, you should be able to get a decent set of michelin or goodyears for around 6k included a tire shop that balance them and put them on. Also to look at alternatives i would look at previous years higher rated models, those can be had for discounted price also
Michelin ps4 s4 are better than both. I much prefer them to the pirelli that came on the car.
Ice x are 95% as good but much better on regular pavement for when it isn't snowing as much. I usually chose the ice x for my car
I went from those same tires to Michelin PS4s and I'm very happy with them. I have no issues in the rain.
I gotta say the factory Michelin PS AS 4 on non z51 c8s are actually incredible. I can't believe how well they hook up for an all season.
I would say get studless snow tires (not all-seasons): Michelin X-Ice Snow, Bridgestone Blizzak WS90, or Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5.
I was faced with the same issue, so I measured the tread depth difference. In about 16 K miles, my Michelin Defenders were down by about 0.178 mm or 0.007\" or 0.224/32.
I drove all last winter with the standard 18” Hankook AS tires that came with my Model 3 LR. Worked fine.
I got the Kia Niro EV used. It came with Michelin Primacy MXV4. If I drive in Normal mode or Sport mode, they slip with even moderate amounts of acceleration.
