I had really only planned on getting pss so it didn't really matter
The Michelin xice3 however are an absolute joy to drive on dry/wet and will handle snow/ice very well. They pretty much ride like a quality all-season. As an all-around tire the Michelin is much, much better.
While the two tires are very good, the X-ice3 is better at handling wet traction.
For my son's new 2015 Jetta SE, he ordered the following from Tirerack for this winter, and he is loving them: 4 x 195/65R15 MICHELIN X-ICE XI3
My winter set. 18x8 Niche Targa et42, Michelin Pilot Alpin 225/40/18
18x8 Neuspeed RSe52 with Michelin AS3's in 235/40 ZR18 on stock suspension. I'm debating VWR springs, but don't want to ruin the DCC.
I have the Michelin Premiers and they're a great tire. I have 70+ k miles on mine with 5mm tread left. They're excellent in rain (even now) and snow.
I'd definitely recommend paying the little extra for the Michelins.
Personally I will probably never own a tire that isnt michelin again. Their tires are of higher quality and better compound than the rest in my experience.
I'm running 235 Michelin PS2's on my Jetta VRT w/ 17x8 ASA AR1's. I've been spinning like mad in 1st and 2nd at only 10 psi lately, but it's been in the 30's for forever. 3rd has been gripping perfect at 18 psi though.
