I've stuck with my BF Goodrich Comp A/S 2+. They stick like glue in all weather and dont make any road noise.
Owner reviews for tires
I’m in the NE, 25 p4x LWB is my daily since July. Better than my old full size pickup and my AWD SUVs in the snow. Probably my favorite to drive ever, maybe neck and neck with my 95 Lincoln town car.
Cooper and Firestone make decent tires if you don't plan on tracking it.
Pirelli Rosso IV's or Bridgestone S23 are probably the best 2 sport focused tires on the market right now that arent sports touring like the Mich Road 6's. I have S23's on my MT09 (came stock, and have since been replaced with a new set)
Fwd with snow tires in the winter isnt a bad option. You can't win every battle but itl do for 99% if the driving. I live in northern WI and we drive all over the place with Prius' and snow tires no problem.
When the GP 5000's came out, it was a first for me. I actually wrote to Conti to tell them how good they were.
I went with the same tire and size with the Model X rims, up from the 19s. I'm seeing about a 9% range loss around town, but I'm also driving it a lot harder now that I have the traction. I do feel like I have a lot more camber in the rear, that I definitely need to take care of. Most surprisingly, I think the ride is so much better than the 19 Cont Rxs. Sound seems ok, but I think I got a bad tire or something because my front drivers side tire makes a lot of noise. I was hoping it would go away, but it seems to have gotten worse.
I'm on Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 or something like that. Overall decent but I'm not thrilled with the grip in the rain. I'll be trying something else when these are done.
The tires are uncomfortable rocks at any temperature under about 55 degrees, and will actually fail at temperatures around 40 degrees. They are just-barely-road-safe competition tires essentially designed for use in warm ambient temperatures only.
I had an STI with the stock tires for a long time and they were terrible in the cold weather.
