I got the CrossClimate+ installed last week. Minimal experience with snow and ice so far but substantially better than the stock tires. Mine seem a little louder than the OEM set but I wouldn't call them loud.
I switched to CrossClimate+ after my oem MXM4s went bald at 20k. So far they have been equally efficient as my first set of tires, though I think they may be *slightly* louder.
I used to use the X Ices on my GTI and they were great even on that little 2wd. Great tires.
I just paid $988 USD for Michelin X-Ice, mount and balance. They're great snow tires. I had them on my '15 Legacy last winter in Northeastern US, so lots of snow, mix, ice, etc.
I am using Uniroyal MS Plus 77, in size 255/40/19, last winter they were good, no slips, good braking on wet and mood, will see this year how they will be.
2 years ago I got Michelin X-ice 3’s (in a 17”) on my car, steelies from Costco, installed, and TPMS sensors for right about 1100 bucks (in the GTA).
I spent a good deal of time researching and went with the Michelin Defender LTX m/s tires to replace them. Expensive but fairly meaty, good ride quality and cornering, great in the rain, can't speak for snow. Expesive but worth it so far.
The Michelin s have tough carcases compared to other Chinese shity tires. Anyway, I would definitly recommend you install a known brand. I started with cheap tires but switched fast to Michelin s.
Micheline's are worth the expense, had cheap ones and I was like Bambi on ice, they could save your life,don't scrimp
I have these exact tires on my charger except mine are 18in. The tires are coming up on 4 years old with about 30000 miles on them and they are completely fine in everyday driving. If you don't really care about performance then they're fine. They're obviously not a performance tire but for being relatively cheap they are more than adequate in all temperatures and if you drive normally they're fine in the rain. The only time they're kindof sketchy is in snow but as long as you give yourself more time to react and you don't live somewhere super hilly they're fine, especially if your a4 is awd.
