Tires MICHELIN or Sailun
Spent a month driving all over the mountains in Colorado winter with Pilot Alpin PA4s on Enkei Raijin 18”s, multiple snowy passes, zero drama. Excellent grip and stopping power, but also good on dry pavement and firm handling when you need it. 13/10
I run 225/40/18 Michelin XIce3 in my 2018R. I bought OEM 18inch Audi BBS CH wheels from a B7 S4 which fit perfectly.
They are very grippy on dry (I'm using 205/45/17), steering response is fantastic, very direct. On wet they seem fine, though I'm driving very cautiously on wet.
IMO Michelin LTX M/S Have been the gold standard for SUV/LT highway tires for a long time now. Recently they've been discontinued in favor of the second iteration that just came out.
I also have a set (of the V1 tires) on my 2018 GX460 and they have been flawless.
At the time we replaced ours, the major need was traction in wet and snowy weather as the base tires just sucked in the slightest amount of weather. So we got MICHELIN CrossClimate2 tires and they’ve been great for corners, rain, snow and basically everything the low rolling resistance ev tires sucked at.
I've rode Michelin commander III's for years. I've consistently got around 12-15k out of a set of tires and been a daily rider for years.
Michelin Commander 2. I just replaced on an Ultra Limited after 24,000 miles. Went with Commander 3 this time: only 3,000 on the 3's so nothing to report yet.
I fucking hate Michelin except for the Cross Climate 2, that shit is great.
I ran Michelin Pilot Sport AS4+ on my SQ5 before I sold it. For most CUV, running car all season tires is better and often cheaper solution if you never go off pavement (sand/mud/grass etc)
Those are ultra high performance summer tires and are the stock tires for the vb. Those are absolute hot garbage in anything below 40 degrees.
