My experiences with Michelin have been great. They last well enough to make the higher initial price well worth it. They work quite well in the wet, which is when you especially need them.
Michelin cross climate all season work well. I read on them, supposed to work nearly as well as a winter tire.
Michelin Xice are amazing winter tires, and unlike blizzaks (almost as good when new), the michelins are still great in the snow and ice near their end of life.
Highly recommend all weather tires. I used to have the Cross Climate 2 which where excellent and honestly comparable to winter tires. My dad still uses the Firestone Weathergrip, also drives really well in the snow.
Pick from something like Michelin cross climate or Nokian WRG5. They will preform far better than an all season in winter but still useable in hot summer.
Great tires in Rain and snow. I live in the northeast and go to school in the Midwest. Served me through deep snow, Floods, unpaved freeways, and blizzards on my front wheel drive car. Absolutely love them. Only downside is slightly lower mpg by 1-2 just up the pressure a little.
Michelin, top tier premium tire. You get what you pay for.
I upgraded to Michelin CrossClimate's. They're good for fun and still good in the winter.
I recently replaced my Pirelli with Michelin defenders. I have put about 5K miles on them so far. The range is about the same. I didn't notice a change in road noise. They were a little bit cheaper than the Pirelli tires.
This looks like to be a Michelin PS 3 or 4. If my guess is correct, these are sport tire which means soft rubber compound, and because of that they degrade (harden) fast. From experience, with normal use, they are good for 2-3 years of driving, then they get horribly bad (hard). Above 4 years they become hard like hockey pucks - the rubber looks shiny with lots of micro cracking and they are (from experience) deadly in the rain. So, judging from the picture one (i see micro cracking) and the fact they are 5 years old: They are gone. Tread depth is irrelevant now. They are so hard that you cant wear them down not even in 100.000km. Btw. about 6-7mm is the tread depth when these (Michelin PS) tires are new.
