I only put ~8k kms / 5000 miles on them, so I can't comment on longevity. But I drove them through snow, sleet and heavy rain (winter tires), and up to 125mph on the German Autobahn, and they were just fine.
Got a set of 16 steelies with Michelin Ice-X's for my 2014. Have worked pretty well so far and I got at a good deal with Discount Tire.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is the go to summer tire for many.
Michelin X-Ice was my go to for my 14’s on my AW.
Have dws06 on our s4. Great tire so far. Comfortable and quiet compared to the Michelin as4 they replaced
I got Michelin Defender 225/65R16 and they are great tires. Got them at discount tire and they are not cheap, but worth it IMO
I would choose Michelin AS4s over the Contis if they're available and in your price range. They offer better MPG and ride comfort over the Contis while delivering more grip in the wet and dry. Just an all around better tire, but the Conti is still great albeit a little heavier than Michelin.
I replaced the stock ones on my 21 (@ 35k) with Michelin CC2’s a few weeks ago. My fuel mileage went down by a few MPG but the ride is much smoother and quieter. And I tested them out in the snow and ice today. Well worth the extra money!
Michelin had 2 models in the Pilot series - Sporty and Street Radial. The Street Radial was excellent, while the Indian made Sporty was horrible.
As someone who cheated out on tires and ended up losing traction going around a curve in the rain, fishtailing to the other side of the road and getting t-boned by a vehicle twice the size of mine, I’ve made it a rule to never cheap out on tires again. Michelin is one of the better brands out there IMO.
