I have used Michelin and their winter tyres. Works magic and haven’t spun the pony during winter mix. Summer rain is another matter…
I ran the OEM 20 inch Michelin Pilot Sport EV. Surprisingly little noticeable tire wear. I was expecting about 50% of the tread to be gone after the day, but in reality, not much seems to have worn off at all. Traction felt good for the first 6-7 laps but started feeling greasy towards the end of sessions with the rear end of the car getting more and more playful with every lap- clearly the tires are working overtime dealing with the weight and power. Turn in and breakaway characteristics also felt good, nothing really to complain about here.
Reingesteckt Bilstein Fahrwerk, Alus, Michelin Sommer und Conti Winter. 9 Jahre gefahren, ca. 60tkm. Defekte/erneuert: 2x Fensterheber, 1x L\u00fcftermotor, 1x Wischergest\u00e4nge, 1x Motorlager, 1x alle Softlackteile after market. Ansonsten nur Inspektionen.
Depends what you are looking for. I got Michelins for ride quality and reduced road noise and they do not disappoint.
The only all-weather (NOT all-season) tires I trust here are Michelin cross-climates.
I have a set of Michelins Cross Climates, which are all season tires highly rated for the snow, and I've never had any issues in the snow. I've bought about 5 or 6 sets on various vehicles ranging from Toyota, Subaru and most recently on my 2018 M3LR (2 different sets), 2023 MYLR and most recently my 2025 M3P (switch to 18s with cross climates).
Great for everyday driving and i have gotten 55k plus miles with mostly highway driving and tire rotation every 6k to 8k miles.
My RWD IS300 did great in the snow with Michelin X-Ice’s.
For instance on my pickup I run a Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 and it is way more then enough and can run all year (and get 85k miles on a set), but I do run a winter on my wife's car because her summer tire is just crap.
I think my defenders only have 65k - but they were considerably less expensive.
My old pilot sport 5s tires were downright dangerous even with light snow. Forget about ice entirely. They are too expensive and wear too quickly for the 1% of time they are truly useful.
