I switched to the Michelin Cross Climate 2s and they have substantially better traction than OEMs. You may have better options if you don't need the snow performance. The OEMs have notoriously poor traction, especially on wet pavement.
Get some Nokian tires, I am super happy with mine (piggfri) as it's a rear wheel drive, and we like to get sideways. But the grip is amazing, love these tires. Kost about 7 000kr for a complete set. And it is worth it.
If its one thing to NEVER be stingy on, is winter tires, especially in Norway. I've never even heard about these tier makers and I find it sus. Go for nokian hakkapeliitta, it's a brand driven and tested in nordic countries for decades. More pricy? Yes, definitely, quality is high and they know their stuff. But sure, buy some cheap made Chinese made tiers that will be worn out by the end of the year and probably serve you shit to nothing in terms of safety when its needed.
Check finn if better tires are to expensive for you. I just bought a set of 2 year old Nokian studded for 2000kr. Just stay away from cheap tires all together and don't buy used tires older than 4 year old unless you know what you're getting.
Is there a specific reason you have to get spiked tires? Bear in mind if you live in Bergen or oslo there is a fee to drive in the city, which can be quite expensive through the winter, unless you are driving up a mountain to a cabin or something i would reccomend spikeless, you should be able to get a decent set of michelin or goodyears for around 6k included a tire shop that balance them and put them on. Also to look at alternatives i would look at previous years higher rated models, those can be had for discounted price also
I always buy the nokian winters. They never fail to impress me.
Michelin ps4 s4 are better than both. I much prefer them to the pirelli that came on the car.
Ice x are 95% as good but much better on regular pavement for when it isn't snowing as much. I usually chose the ice x for my car
Great tyres, just don't put them on a high performance car. Or don't drive it like its designed too haha. The cords start to show even though there is still plenty tread. I had that in my RS5. But for normal driving, they are ace, and the tread lasts forever.
Don't bother going Michellin, all just big mame hype
