I've have a great experience with Michelin Pilot AS/3's. They'll get you around in the snow but also perform really well in dry conditions. Their grip in corners is really strong and they don't let go.
What I can tell you is that the AS 3's have eliminated all the road noise, my handling is vastly improved, and they grip like hell - I used to get chirps when I would floor it off the start between DSG shifts. Not anymore!!
Just got the Michelin pilot super sports. They are nice...much better than my crapinentals
I can only speak to my new Michelin Sport AS/3 . I find them to be great and a much better tire than the original Conti's.
Dedicated set of Michelin XIce XI2 in 215/65R16 - AWD Highline Tig. Picked up a set of dealer take-off oem 16x6.5" tig wheels. Toronto winters with many trips to the cottage / snow belt. The offset / narrow width does result in an inboard look, but easily fixed with some spacers.
Summer tires on my Tig are Michelin Pilot Supersports.. and I have to say, best tire I have every used :thumbup:
I took a look at all the options people noted here and ended up with the Michelin Pilot A/S 3. I have to say the new tires are a lot better then the Pirelli's that were OEM on the car, cornering is much sharper and noise is non existent.
Michelin Primacy MXM4 in 235/40/18 is exactly what I would do! I did similar with 17" wheels on my MKVI TDI and then my friend did it with the 18" wheels on his MKVI GTI. As for the Primacy MXM4, I love them. I've had mine for about 55K miles now and will be replacing them with the exact same thing when the time comes pretty soon, before the winter hits in Pennsylvania. But the tires really have lasted well and they are as quiet and comfortable as any tire I have ever had on a car.
My Bridgestone's lasted about 38k miles. I thought the ride was bad. I put on Michelin Defenders at Sam's Club. I have about 77k on the Routan now; 39k miles on them. They are about half life. The ride is great. Very smooth compared to the Bridgestones.
I have the same Michelin tires, and they are fine tires if you drive the speed limit and not have to make any sudden stops... It is reasonably quiet, and handles pretty well in the dry and wet. These tires even got me home during a few snow storms, but almost got stuck on an ice covered hill, but managed to get out of that mess with some careful driving.
