Tires MICHELIN or MRF
I have used Michelin and their winter tyres. Works magic and haven’t spun the pony during winter mix. Summer rain is another matter…
I also use MRF tyres and mine are running solid for 4+ years. I had 2-3 pinhole punctures which were all repaired eith that mushroom like thing.
I ran the OEM 20 inch Michelin Pilot Sport EV. Surprisingly little noticeable tire wear. I was expecting about 50% of the tread to be gone after the day, but in reality, not much seems to have worn off at all. Traction felt good for the first 6-7 laps but started feeling greasy towards the end of sessions with the rear end of the car getting more and more playful with every lap- clearly the tires are working overtime dealing with the weight and power. Turn in and breakaway characteristics also felt good, nothing really to complain about here.
Reingesteckt Bilstein Fahrwerk, Alus, Michelin Sommer und Conti Winter. 9 Jahre gefahren, ca. 60tkm. Defekte/erneuert: 2x Fensterheber, 1x L\u00fcftermotor, 1x Wischergest\u00e4nge, 1x Motorlager, 1x alle Softlackteile after market. Ansonsten nur Inspektionen.
Depends what you are looking for. I got Michelins for ride quality and reduced road noise and they do not disappoint.
The only all-weather (NOT all-season) tires I trust here are Michelin cross-climates.
I have a set of Michelins Cross Climates, which are all season tires highly rated for the snow, and I've never had any issues in the snow. I've bought about 5 or 6 sets on various vehicles ranging from Toyota, Subaru and most recently on my 2018 M3LR (2 different sets), 2023 MYLR and most recently my 2025 M3P (switch to 18s with cross climates).
Great for everyday driving and i have gotten 55k plus miles with mostly highway driving and tire rotation every 6k to 8k miles.
My RWD IS300 did great in the snow with Michelin X-Ice’s.
CC2s are very noisy and get worse as the miles are added. Great tire in wet and snow, but could not stand them on the highway. You couldn't hear conversations while driving.
Michelin is the only brand that comes close and I've calculated they're roughly 30% more expensive and last me about 80% as long. I was a big Michelin fanboy and loyal to a fault.
