Tires MICHELIN or Shinko
Michelin cross climate 2. Not a snow tire but rather “all weather.” Great handling in dry, wet and snow. My first set I got about 60K on and I only replaced them this fall because its ability in the snow was fading towards the end (which is normal).
I will give a node to Michelin X-Ice, they were phenomenal on my 7th gen 2.4 without traction control- rarely encountered wheel spin
I have Michelin X-Ice snows on a set of 17” steelies. They’re awesome.
Michelin is the gold standard. Period. They're expensive and worth every penny. Quiet, smooth, great handling and wear like iron.
I stopped using continentals when my last set of DWS sounded like a freight train down the road in my golf. I switched to Michelin crossclimate 2s and they have been a great all weather and quiet tire.
I absolutely love Michelin tires on my truck. Currently I have control contact tour plus on my Jetta. Close to 80,000 miles and not on the wear bars yet. I’m hoping to get close to 100,000 miles out of them.
I will never buy anything else than Michellin CrossClimate 2 for my daily. I swear it rivals dedicated snow tires in winter conditions and lasted me 50k miles driving them years long.
These are as close to real snow tires as I have experienced, while still giving all the other benefits of non snow tires. Highly recommend.
Michelin had 2 models in the Pilot series - Sporty and Street Radial. The Street Radial was excellent, while the Indian made Sporty was horrible.
I got the Michelin mxm4 235/45 R18 tires, and by the time of first rotation at 5k miles, the rear tires went from 10/32" to 6/32". At 10k miles, all tires were already at 4/32 thread depth!
