Hello, at your monthly mileage I would first consider separate summer and winter tyres, especially if you frequently drive in intense heat or severe winter conditions. ADAC recommends seasonal tyres for drivers who cover substantial distances. If avoiding seasonal changes is your priority, Michelin CrossClimate 2 is a candidate when winter performance and low wear matter most. In ADAC’s 2024 test of 205/55 R16 94V tyres, it performed well on dry and winter roads and had the lowest abrasion, but weaker wet handling; its overall 2.7 rating was “satisfactory”. The tested specification differs from your stated 91V, so these results do not establish identical performance or approval for your Golf. Before buying, check the size and load/speed requirements in your vehicle documentation. Compare the exact variant’s EU label alongside independent tests, because the label does not cover dry grip or handling. To narrow the choice, is wet grip, tyre life or avoiding seasonal changes your main priority?
