Tires MICHELIN or PHANTOM
I have recently installed michelin cross climate 2 and I am very happy with them. It is well worth the investment.
Personally I have Michelin crossclimate+ on my prius (they don't have crossclimate 2 in my size) and love them.
Michelin. Always Michelin.
The only time I've ever hydroplaned was on Goodyears.
I returned them with no problem and bought pilot sport all seasons. They arrived in good shape with mfg date of March this year ????
Yes wildpeaks were highly recommended. I actually just bought cross climate 2s. Handle really well in rain so far.
Replaced original Procontact, got a set of PS ALL-SEASON 4. Improve overall handling and comfort.
I like the Michelin power road tlr ran tubeless because they're what's available right now for me. Honestly all the top tires on that site are good.
My car came with 225/40-18 Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS and they were LOUD. Twice I took the car in to ensure it wasn't the wheel bearings making noise and it was just the tires. I've been really happy with Potenza's in the past but these tires were terrible. I replaced the tires last year with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 and they transformed the car. They're quiet and they have a better ride at VW's very high 42 psi recommended pressure. The car handles better in every respect too where as before, it always felt like I was fighting the car on twisty roads. They're better in the rain AND they were cheaper than the OEM tires. Very happy with them.
I have been running Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ for years on my dd 15 GTI S PP. They have been great, if fairly noisy as they age and or in colder temps.
I warrantied my OEM set (replaced at 14k miles) and never contacted michelin myself, just went to discount tire and inquired about it with them. As for the tires wearing out after 14k miles: I did do some occasional aggressive driving, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Evenly worn all around and rotated every 5k.
