I put on A/S 3s about 3 weeks ago, 235/50R18. I am more than please. They are silent, and the ride is so much smoother than the factory Pirellis. Almost fells like I don't have sport suspension. Traction and stability are superb. Stopping on rain soaked roads is as if the road is dry.
I had them on my old B5 A4 and liked them very much. Didn't get great mileage out of them. But they handled very nice. I have a 2012 SEL and don't much care for the Pirelli tires on it now. Yes, they are only 50% at 21500 miles. which is good. But in the rain I think they get very slick. Don't have the confidence for spirited driving when wet out. Which the DWS's work well in.
I've been very happy with Discount Tire, they've worked with me in the past on pro-rating tires, etc. These tires have gotten me through 10+ inches of snow this year three or four times plus a night of driving on pure ice on the highway home from work at midnight when it was -13 and salt wasn't working. I'm very positive on these tires!
My Michelin Alpins were outstanding in the snow
I am a bit partial to the Michelin over the Goodyears in terms of the overall comparison of the tires. Granted, you lose on the fuel economy but you get a better all-around performing tire with comparable ride quality to the Goodyears.
Primacy owner here. Not sure about other Michelins, but these tires have a sunflower seed oil coating that improves the overall grip. Driving around corners you immediately notice the grip and extra cornering speed. For performance and overall economy, these are the best tires i've ever owned.
We put Primacy MXV4's on my GF's Kia Forte and love them.
I put a set of Michelin Latitude tires on my wife's Liberty. What a different from using a more dedicated off-road tire.
Confirmed, mine also came with 235/45/R17 Michelin HX MXM4 Pilot tires with an M+S rating, so they are rated for some level of mud and snow service. So far, the little bit we have driven the car it seems to handle ok on the snow and ice, and seems to grip the dry pavement really well.
On a subject unrelated to load ratings, the Michelin HX MXM4 are, well, to be brutally honest - they are total rubbish. Expect to have borderline dangerous hydroplaning performance when the tires get to 6/32nds and less. Wet traction will be very poor when the tires get below 4/32nds or so.
