Tires MICHELIN or NANKANG
I love them on my Passat. I also love doing 70 in snowstorms, don’t think you get many of those in Texas
I had these on my V90 for 3 years. Fantastic all-season tire that worked great in the snow during ski trips. Pretty quite at highway and wore great. If not driving in snow/ice I think it's overkill but 100% would buy again.
The Michelin Energy Savers are great, and I never had a budget tyre come close.
I replaced mine this year and went with the Defender 2, not sure if you’ve considered them instead of the CrossClimate2. Love them so far, very quiet and smooth, and I find they handle water way better than the stock Nexens.
Michellin is always the go-to high end rubber for those who are flying with cash. Pilot Sport Cup 2/2R or Pilot Sport 4S for the wet. Pilot 4S I think is one of the best regarded tire in wet conditions & generally an amazing all-rounder.
We may have to send your original tires to a museum as the longest lasting Michelin Energy Savers!
Tested on a 2018 AMG GT R in Porsche Ring, Audru, Estonia. So far I'm liking the CRS more. Price is the same as Cup 2, but it's faster and doesn't seem to be worse on street.
We also have good experience with Nankang on smaller cars. I have not tried them on bigger cars yet. They are a bit more noisy than the Vitour tires, but the white stripe on them seems to hold up a little bit better. But there is still no problem keeping them white.
I still prefer my Michelin LTXs. Got over 50k miles on them and just now noticing traction issues.
Cross climates. Weatherpeaks wear out too easily. I hate them
