My previous set were the Bridgestone Blizzaks. Now, I'm using a set of Michelin X-Ice. I've driven around the city and as far as Whistler/Big White (I used to go Cypress 3-4 times a week too during the winter). Blizzaks were a beast in heavy snow. But I think for what you're looking for, I would just go with the X-Ice. They're really quiet and the ride is really comfortable.
Among the low-cost good ones; Vredestein. Now I stick to Michelin (bought various X-Ice2/3/PA3) as I like that they won't feel like winter tires.
I have Michelin Ice-Xes on my GTI and they do a great job.
Just got Cross Climate 2’s from Costco yesterday. I put about 60 miles on today and I love them! Great smooth ride and I feel like they really grip the road.
Never cheap out on tires. I just ordered Pilot Aplin Pa4's on the stock size for my turbo they were $266 i believe on PMCtire.com (which I find to be the best online tire shop here in Canada. Free shipping!). You get what you pay for generally for tires.
I did the same thing with mine about 1.5 years ago. I went to America’s Tire and they called Michelin and did the discount. Went with Michelin Crossclimates on mine. Solid tires!
The CrossClimate2 is nice for snow, but they come with a bit more noise than their all weather tires. I use them as winter only tires.
The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4’s are the best all season tires they have right now. Great in summer and snow but pricey.
Michelin has excellent customer service. When we got our first model 3, we noticed two tires with bulges. We changed them thru Tesla service and they deemed them defective. They sent a check for the full amount of the new tires.
I got the CrossClimate + 2 weeks ago. First few days I couldn’t really notice a difference. After 2 weeks and driving more, they’re definitely louder and less efficient.
