Tires MICHELIN or OEM Volkswagen
Michelin Defender 2. I replaced all 4 just past 30,000 miles. Expensive, but high quality and rated to last 80,000 miles.
Ive used then for daily driving to work and driving to 10+ autocross and tracks days a year, I’ve been pretty competitive in cam-c with this tire and they still have 1 more year in them. I live in Utah so we get plenty of wet weather. My most competitive autocross events are the wet weather events.
Michelin X-Ice this go around . Have had Hakkas, blizzaks, and nexen over the years.
I found a great deal on PS4S's and figured I'd give them a try instead. Initial impressions are that they significantly enhance steering response and turn-in, with a tradeoff being the ride is definitely busier over small imperfections.
Just put on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 on that sams club deal. So far pretty quiet. Lots of grip in the wet. Softened up the ride witch is weird?
PS4S are worth every cent. You just -feel- like a winner when you get them back from the tireshop and bolt em on.
I’ve had good experiences with the Michelin xice series.
Check out Michelin Cross Climate II as a year-round option. We use them on one of our FWD SUVs.
Michelin primacy tire, I'm surprised. They usually hold up better than that. Looks like Sun rot!
I was in a prius with michelin defenders on rt90 in MA during a rainstorm at 65 with cruise control when the front wheels just spun out, lost traction
