Tires MICHELIN or MRF
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
No other choice in my opinion. As a fellow spirited driver with a V8, tyres are the most important thing and these are reasonably priced and super safe for high speeds.
I would say stick with Michelin’s. Best combination of grip, comfort, road noise and tread wear. Based on experience Pirellis and Contis tend to wear out faster (P Zeros), Bridgestone is so so.
I ordered the same style rims in satin black 18” on T Sportline last week w/ Michelin X-Ice Snow.
I've had these for about 16,000 miles. 2 Wisconsin Winters and a summer. I am still extremely happy with them. OP nailed the Winter/wet portion. To add- whether warm or cold out, they perform more like true summer tires on dry pavement. I highly recommend them.
I just put the CC2’s on my 18 GSW 4motion. I couldn’t be more pleased! Performance on wet road- exceptional. Snow- not quite as good as a dedicated snow tire, but damn close. I’ve rallied up the canyon to Alta on snow packed days, not once did they get squirrelly.
I've had experience with both and while both are absolutely fantastic the Michelin tires felt like they warmed up a few minutes faster and handled the rain a bit better.
I put Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's on my '18 S4, and they were decent at everything and snow tested as competent, for a high performance a/s tire - but very expensive, and overkill for stock Passat, IMHO.
I've been a big fan of my Michelin Premier All Seasons
For what it\u2019s worth, I went down two wheel sizes with my 2018 Golf R. 19 to 17 for Michelin snow tires, from 235/35-19 to 225/45-17. Not much weather yet to really test but some handling loss of course.
Dude. Ran the michellins, ran the Kumhos and twice have run Dunlop SP5000s .. run the dunlops. They're sub $100/tire, grip much better than the kumhos both wet and dry, take longer to wear and are just all around a better tire. Far better than the michellins, for a fraction of the price.
