Had these on my car and definitely worth the premium. Just switched over to crossclimate2 though bc I moved to a snowier climate and already miss the PSAS4
I have pilot sport 5, my brother has them, my father too, they are a very good tire, but if put dominic toretto mode on they are gone
We bought a set of Michelin WeatherGuard tires at Costco. They are well worth it. We were able to drive in the mountains over ice and snow
I ran the PSAS4 on my Audi Allroad (coming from the factory Continentals) and it made such a difference there's probably nothing else I'd rather run other than to try out the Conti DWS 06+ if it was significantly cheaper. I think the Michelin is just a better tire overall and their specialty tires are basically the leader in the industry.
I like my cc2s for traction in general. Although I have done some stupid shit on the snow with those tires.
Michelin X-Ice for me. They do great in slush and slop too - we got 11” of snow here in Minnesota a last spring and one of the kids and I drove around with shovels and kitty litter helping folks who were stuck, it was unbelievably fun - the Crosstrek is unstoppable with those tires.
Michelin Cross Climate 2s. The small range hit is worth the confidence in rain and snow. That said, the CC2s are still incredible in wet. I still strongly suggest them. They do good in snow but you don't have to use them for it.
I run Michelin Cross Climate 2’s. After switching to them from the OEMs I loved being able to brake hard, instead of activate the ABS and run out much longer. Energy consumption is up, I dunno, 10%? But I don’t road trip with it anyway. Also the tires are quieter and provide a more comfy ride.
Me and my parents both had DWS06's on our 2016/2020 Mazda3's, respectively. They wore out way too early and one of my parents' tires had some really random tire construction-related problem that led them to replacing the Contis with the PSAS4s. They've been happy with those tires so far, I think they're a bit noisy and ride a bit stiff but response and grip-wise they're stellar.
Gonna cost me $1200 for 4 Michelin Defender 2's (245/55/19) on my 2008 Highlander (March 2025) with installation.
