I went through this exact debate 6 months ago, and I got the Pirellis. They are similarly quiet to the Michelins (at least as best as I can tell). Grip is good, better than the Michelins for sure. Efficiency seems to be very close... I'm certainly within 5%.
I live in NE and got Michelin Alpin 4s and like them quite bit. Its not too crazy here and if we get deep snow I have other options. We have an SUV I can use and since the pandemic I can work from home which is a huge help. I haven't driven in snow in years. If you only have the R as your daily and MUST drive in snow then I agree with the above statement that pure winter tires are a better choice. For me the Alpins ride quite nicely and don't feel squirmy or get hard as a rock when the temp drops.
I’ve been really happy with the Pilot Sport AS4. Not difference in ride comfort or sound, and they definitely are going to last longer than the MXM4
I got mine with the pirelli summers which are great.
Done well tires or jug I went with a Michelin Commander 3 much better Tire
I’ve had Michelins for 8 months now with zero issues.
CrossClimate2 are great on our 19 Pilot, we have about 25k miles on them. Rain only, no snow experience with them.
Michelin never lets me down. I have had several sets of Conti DWS's on various cars and they always wear out way earlier than they should (treadwear gone in 15K miles on a 30K mile tire). I have had a few sets of Nokians too. Good tires until they aren't. Two sets had sidewall bubbles early. Others developed vibration issues before tread was gone. No real recent experience w/ Bridgestone except one set on a 911 years ago. Get the Michelins.
I've had these for four summer seasons on my GSW (17" version) and about 15k miles total. Very grippy. They were great until this past summer, and generally quiet, but one developed a defect whereby it's making a loud rhythmic thumping noise at low speed.
Pirelli cinturatos are garbage. Insanely overpriced for how they perform.
