Incredible in the snow and quiet on the road, even at highway speeds. Smoothed out the ride too.
They are VERY nice tires.
I got some Michelin S1’s and they was a huge improvement to my grip and stability!
Little late to this thread. But my wife had Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires on her Ford Explorer when she bought it new. They are a high mileage compound tire. And she got every bit of 75,000 miles out of them over 5 years. No major or noticeable loss of grip, did fairly well in the rain, even at the end.
Ditch the Geolanders and get Michelin CrossClimate2 tires.
CrossClimates are a much better tire in my experience and opinion. They are stiffer and less soft, much more sporty feel but with balance. I felt like I had less control with a boaty steering feel on the Weatherpeaks.
Night and day with Michelin Snow X tires though. Now, I prefer it over our 4x4 truck for many snow situations (except in fresh snow fall cases where bumper clearance is an issue).
Normal tires were all-season Michelins. It was like night and day on the Blizzaks. My car was on rails when I wasn't driving like a turd. I plowed a couple food-deep right turn lanes that hadn't been touched in an 08 A4 (quattro, ofc) with no problem.
Bought a set of Bridgestone RE-71Rs. Fifth car (current STI): First set (besides factory tires) was Michelin Pilot Super Sports - not bad, but I missed the outright grip of the Bridgestone's- wore them down to the cords after 25k miles and a couple of track days.
I just bought these for my GTI... I am a Michelin fanboy but not impressed with these tires. My MPSS are buttery smooth and quiet. These tires are very noisy, and ride a bit rougher. I've got them 225/40/r18 mounted on stock Austins (so its not the wheels) and i've had them rebalanced twice so its not a balancing issue.
