Kicked the OEM Conti tires to the curb and got Michelin Defender LTX M/S 235/65/17 and loving it!
Michelin Road 5's : got 20,000 miles out of the rear and I daily + lot of back roads riding + highway riding
I just got the Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3+ for my P3D 20" wheels from Costco for just over $1000 installed, I'm sure the 18"s are less. I spent last holiday weekend driving in snow in the Sierras (norcal). The tires were great on the surfaces and snow conditions encountered.
I got the CrossClimate+ installed last week. Minimal experience with snow and ice so far but substantially better than the stock tires. Mine seem a little louder than the OEM set but I wouldn't call them loud.
I switched to CrossClimate+ after my oem MXM4s went bald at 20k. So far they have been equally efficient as my first set of tires, though I think they may be *slightly* louder.
I used to use the X Ices on my GTI and they were great even on that little 2wd. Great tires.
I just paid $988 USD for Michelin X-Ice, mount and balance. They're great snow tires. I had them on my '15 Legacy last winter in Northeastern US, so lots of snow, mix, ice, etc.
2 years ago I got Michelin X-ice 3’s (in a 17”) on my car, steelies from Costco, installed, and TPMS sensors for right about 1100 bucks (in the GTA).
I spent a good deal of time researching and went with the Michelin Defender LTX m/s tires to replace them. Expensive but fairly meaty, good ride quality and cornering, great in the rain, can't speak for snow. Expesive but worth it so far.
I'm about to purchase a 2014 class A that has about 51k miles..original Michelin XZA3 date code 3813 so about 5 years old they look in really good shape although I'm getting an independent inspection on Wed.
