I am now using General Tire Altimax Arctic and they are nearly as good....not as 'fine' of a ride as the nokkians, but nokkian is high quality rubber and the price reflects that.

Pros: very good, decent value
Cons: not as fine of ride
Mileage: 17500 km

I love my Falkens. Pretty quiet, no hydroplaning and cheap! Pretty decent grip in wet and dry. Terrible in snow. And They seem to be a very soft rubber that wears a little quick.

Pros: pretty quiet, no hydroplaning, decent grip
Cons: terrible in snow, wears quick

I had the General Altimax HP's on my X3 and they were a way better than the Conti's they replaced. Every set of Conti's I've ever had make way too much noise. :thumbup::thumbup: on the General's

Pros: way better (General)
Cons: too much noise (Continental)
Vehicle: BMW X3

My next set of tires is going to be Generals. Had two sets of them on my last car and love them. Toyo Proxe's were too soft, the Bridgestone Potenza RE950 was a fave but too costly. And Goodyeear Assurance can just **** it. My Generals were Altimax HP's and were amazing in wet, dry, snow, handling, noise, tread wear. At least compared to all the others I've had over the year (to many to count). They were the only tires I bought twice because I usually jump around. General G Max AS-03

Pros: amazing in wet/dry/snow, good handling/noise/tread wear (General)
Cons: too soft (Toyo), too costly (Bridgestone)

I went with General G-MAX AS-03 for my GTI. I like them because they are still on the cheaper end of the market but have good consumer reviews and the warranty is better than most of the tires you listed. General has a cheaper touring tire but I wanted to stick to another set of performance rates AS tires like the stock Pirelli set that was replaced.

Pros: cheaper end, good reviews, better warranty
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I've had 512s on three of my cars. Great mileage out of them and they do great in wet and dry...

Pros: great mileage, great in wet/dry

Was running Avid W4s Yokohama’s on 14" Snowflakes and nothing bad to say till 20% tread, then a loose feeling... rain was good. I'm now running 195/50/15 Falken ZE912 high performance all season and also come in 14, with the stiff coils all around I have little to no push in corners and better off on the wider stance zero off-set rims. Now the main reason is they are a great wet tire and still trying to make the front push... my buddy ran them on his BMW and didn't like the oversteer feeling of the tire folding?!!? but I'm firm believer curb weight has heaps to do with it.... my 3 cents in rainy vancouver

Pros: great wet tire, no push in corners
Cons: loose feeling at low tread

I'd avoid falkens One car I bought had them installed 5k before I bought the car. I had the receipt of everything and they were already below 50% worn. (they were 512's) I then bought another car with Falken 912's that were put on 15k a go and they only have about 3-5k tread left.

Pros: none
Cons: wore out quickly
Mileage: 5000 km
