I switched out my Hankook V4's to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3...eliminated 75% of my wheelspin off the line (I should note that I have APR Stage I on the vehicle)...essentially has made reconsider getting the dogbone mount upgraded on the EOS. I've had the stock Conti's, Pirelli P4's, and the last set of Hankook's on...A/S3's blow them out of the water for grip.
Michelin x-ice 3. Great tires. My fwd Nissan never got stuck this winter, and trust me, Alberta winters are brutal. (I'm talking like a foot of snow on the road) it was good on ice too, this combined with ABS, made slippery surfaces manageable.
So,I think the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 is the best winter tire for drivers who travel regularly on snow-packed or icy pavement. The Xi3 rides quietly and comfortably, and owners find it extremely durable. In professional tests, it gets top marks for handling.
I put on A/S 3s about 3 weeks ago, 235/50R18. I am more than please. They are silent, and the ride is so much smoother than the factory Pirellis. Almost fells like I don't have sport suspension. Traction and stability are superb. Stopping on rain soaked roads is as if the road is dry.
My Michelin Alpins were outstanding in the snow
I am a bit partial to the Michelin over the Goodyears in terms of the overall comparison of the tires. Granted, you lose on the fuel economy but you get a better all-around performing tire with comparable ride quality to the Goodyears.
Primacy owner here. Not sure about other Michelins, but these tires have a sunflower seed oil coating that improves the overall grip. Driving around corners you immediately notice the grip and extra cornering speed. For performance and overall economy, these are the best tires i've ever owned.
We put Primacy MXV4's on my GF's Kia Forte and love them.
I put a set of Michelin Latitude tires on my wife's Liberty. What a different from using a more dedicated off-road tire.
Confirmed, mine also came with 235/45/R17 Michelin HX MXM4 Pilot tires with an M+S rating, so they are rated for some level of mud and snow service. So far, the little bit we have driven the car it seems to handle ok on the snow and ice, and seems to grip the dry pavement really well.
