New Michelin ps4s on my rsx type-s. World of difference over the crap it had on.
Went from 28lb OEM wheels --> 18lb aftermarket and OEM Goodyear Eagles to Michelin Pilot Sports, it's a night & day difference.
I have Michelin cross climate tires on my suv and have zero issues in winter conditions. As long as you know your vehicle and drive to the conditions, all weather tires are fine for 90% of driving conditions, even when going to Banff.
I had 2 of the exact same vehicle (Subaru Outback). One had Michelin X-Ice dedicated winter tires and the other had Michelin Cross Climate All Weather tires. Last year, after a fresh snowfall, I took both cars out, drove down the street and took quick turns, braking, starts from stop etc. I then went to an open parking lot and did the same. I didn't notice much difference at all in those types of conditions.
I just got some extra winters Michelin X ice snow 225/65/17 if interested I can give you a bargain, tread is amazing I used another set up my last winters and I’ll never use anything else.
Some all weather tires - like the Michelin CrossClimate2s - can outperform cheap / low tier winter tires.
If you do go for all weathers, get the Michelin Cross Climate 2s. It always surprises me how good they are in snow. They're probably the closest you'll get to winter tire performance.
Vredstein Wintrac Pro. They are great ran them 5 months last season and they still look brand new. Ride great in the snow as well, had my 328xi coupe out in 6 inches of fresh snow in the ground and still coming down and they never slipped or had trouble stopping.
Michelin PA4s are better for dry, wet and a little ice. They are not so good in snow. I had them on my Golf R. Although I never got stuck, they don't inspire confidence in snow.
I’ve spent more on tires on my myp in the first year than any other car ive owned. 3 punctures on the pilot sport AS4 add up.
