Tires MICHELIN or OEM Audi
Recently got Michelin Pilot Sport all seasons. I gotta say, I have been super impressed with the extra confidence the tires have given me. They are a little quieter than the OEM yokos, but from what I understand the Yokos were horrible with noise
Went Michelin and won't go back unless Pirelli changes the game on Michelin
I’ve always been impressed by the pilot sport all seasons. I had the 3’s, then upgraded to the 4’s when they came out.
I have MPSS on my ND, and ran the same tires on my NC. I absolutely love them, my favorite tires and I would really recommend them. Not just for performance (which is, as you said, best of class) but also because they ride extremely well and don’t have too much road noise.
I bought a 20 year scooter with only 345 miles on it. It still had the original Pirellis and they were practically new. Of course I had to change 20 year old tires, but I put on Michelin City Grip IIs, and that was when I felt comfortable leaning.
I just put them on a new set of 18x8.5 forged wheels I bought for my 2022 VW Golf GTI Autobahn. We had a snow store two weeks ago and I was getting stuck because of the summer tires. So far since the snow storm we had rain storms, ice storms as well as a lot of snow that remained. All the snow that remained was where cars parked. The plows pushed the snow that way. A lot of cars were stuck and had to be dug out. But a bunch of snow remained. I was able to drive through in and out of parking spots with lots of snow like a tractor.
The stock conti's are garbage and wear out in 6-8k miles. I replaced them with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's and they've been great.
Have had 2 sets of DWS - always a fan (on a E350 and 335xi with 450+ hp), Michelin Premier LTX (on wifes CX-5) - they're fantastic, Michelin PS4S on the 911 and Pirelli Scorpion Verde for my old grand cherokee. The DWS are great all around tires and the Premier LTX is just a great tire.
Michelins newest tire the X-Ice Snow which is made or nearly any vehicle out there, has a good amount of less traction when it comes to thick or a lot of snow. However, the ride quality of this tire is the best for any winter tire and well above most all seasons.
Personally, I would not get the CrossClimates if you are in Florida. They are like a hybrid winter tire with the snowflake and would probably be great in the rain but might wear quickly down there. I put a set (the car version) on our Corolla before we sent it to our kid up north and they were okay but felt a little "clompy" and loud over bumps.
