Owner reviews for tires

I have these, from Sams Club - using on a 07' Saab 9-3. No complaints.

Nokian R5 SUVs. They got me out of everything last winter threw at me. And I had AWD before and live in a hilly area too.

Their tires do tend to ride a little soft, like you say... but that doesn't seem to affect handling at all. They are not the best tire, they are a good tire, but they are a better tire than the price you pay for them.

Compared to all previous sets they a very quiet and drive very smooth, they feel kind of spongy if that makes any sense.

I just got out of the Pirelli Scorpions and into Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUVs. AMAZING tire! First time in a long time I'm not running all season tires and the car sticks so well in corners it's mind boggling. Cabin is around 60dB at Interstate highway speeds.

I have Cooper Endeavor Plus tires on my Tiguan. They also are a LOT quieter than the OEM Hankooks that were on it.

Contis VC7 were better on ice AND snow but especially road noise here in Montreal.

I bought Hankook I*cept 3 winters and they were cheaper than some others in my size, still expensive but rated way higher than the rest. God damn they’re incredible. My 340i X-drive only slips when I want it to, even here in Alberta, Canada where we get loads of black ice and also tons of slushy days.

My caution about Michelin cross climates is the noise and the performance out of snow/rain. It is funny to watch people switch from cross climates to winter tires because they're the same.

Had one of mine pop on the way to my new job on the other side of the country- only 5k on some N’priz AH8s (70k warranty) replaced back in October.
