Tires MICHELIN or LANDSAIL
I have Michelin CrossClimate and Maxxis Premitra, been happy with both, maybe slight edge to the Michelin.
Michelin cross climate 2. Not a snow tire but rather “all weather.” Great handling in dry, wet and snow. My first set I got about 60K on and I only replaced them this fall because its ability in the snow was fading towards the end (which is normal).
I will give a node to Michelin X-Ice, they were phenomenal on my 7th gen 2.4 without traction control- rarely encountered wheel spin
I have Michelin X-Ice snows on a set of 17” steelies. They’re awesome.
Michelin is the gold standard. Period. They're expensive and worth every penny. Quiet, smooth, great handling and wear like iron.
I stopped using continentals when my last set of DWS sounded like a freight train down the road in my golf. I switched to Michelin crossclimate 2s and they have been a great all weather and quiet tire.
I absolutely love Michelin tires on my truck. Currently I have control contact tour plus on my Jetta. Close to 80,000 miles and not on the wear bars yet. I’m hoping to get close to 100,000 miles out of them.
I will never buy anything else than Michellin CrossClimate 2 for my daily. I swear it rivals dedicated snow tires in winter conditions and lasted me 50k miles driving them years long.
Michelin had 2 models in the Pilot series - Sporty and Street Radial. The Street Radial was excellent, while the Indian made Sporty was horrible.
The best I've had are the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs (I and II) for summer. For winter ofcourse the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90s for the Michigan winters. I've had a set of Kumho Ecsta MX's and they weren't bad either, but the worst by far were the MICHELIN PRIMACY all-seasons. Noisy, tread lasted less than 20k miles and obviously it's unsafe to wait until 2/32" so not even replaceable under warranty (which claims 80k miles treadwear ....pfft). Never again.
