Replaced the OEM Hankooks with Michelin Premier A/S; much improved wet and dry traction and far less road noise. The Hankooks were crap.
Reviews of MICHELIN parts For Business

I have had two sets of Michelin Premier A/S on my Passats and I swear by them. They wear extremely well and perform excellent on wet and snow/ice. On both sets, I've gotten well past the tread wear rating.
I'd use Michelin PSS for summer, A/S 3 all-seasons otherwise, so they wouldn't look too mismatched.
Just put Michelin Premier A/S on my '14. So far so good, $70 off too. They were available at almost every tire store I checked and have a 60k warrant. Car feels tight again.
Exactly what I run on my R. Works perfectly, looks good.
I am running 235/40 R18 Michelin PSS with Neuspeed RSe 10s 18x8.5 for my summers. I am also lowered on Bilstein coils with no fitment problems.
And actually I never posted it, but I made a new top cover for the radiator. It was the first thing I did to the car. I made it out of aluminum sheet. It's amazing what a difference it made to the running temp of the car.
The X-Ices are the best on your list, especially with the discount.
My favorites are the Michelin Stealth blades. I've never had them ice up and streak.
Bottom line for me, the Michelins haven't stood up in the desert heat and I've had them as OEM tires on a few vehicles. By 25,000 - 30,000 miles the rubber is cracking. How safe is that? Once again, I'm just sharing my perspective from my personal experience. Everyone else can do what they think is right.
