2013 cooper s bought new. Came with conti all season runflats, couldn't put down power. No grip. Harsh.

Not a month later went to Michelin A/S pilot sport all-seasons.. better, but still couldn't mash the gas coming out of a corner.

5 years later went to the ones I still run today, the Firestone Indy 500. Posh ride, great grip, and I can put full power in 2nd coming out of a corner. Behaves identical to the Yokohama S.Drives I used to have on my Rx-8. Where I live it doesn't even get down to 45\*F so I don't worry about all-seasons anymore. These do magnificent in the wet, too.

Pros: posh ride, great grip
Cons: no grip, harsh
Vehicle: MINI

GENERAL TIRE Tires

Ive been running the generals for ever. Just got a set of the arctic 12s mounted for this winter. Overall design doesnt seem to have changed much since around 2012 and they have always been absolute champs in deep snow for me.

Pros: champs in deep snow

GENERAL TIRE Tires

General GMAX AS-05 ultra high performance, all season tires. I'm on my 3rd set, they have a 50k mile warranty and grip like crazy in the rain. Comparable to BFG comp 2's but they look better and are less expensive. I particularly dislike the way the comp 2 sidewall looks.

Pros: grip like crazy
Cons: dislike sidewall looks

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Don't think you can beat the price ($150/tire installed when I got them) and they do great in rain. I've put 40k mi on mine and they have probably got 20k more in them.

Pros: great in rain, good price
Mileage: 64000 km

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I had the AT2s on my last truck for years and I love those tires. They're snowflake rated so obviously they did good in the snow. I've had them in deep mud, and while no mud tire, they did petty darn good. Plus they lasted forever, like 60ish k miles.

Pros: good in snow, lasted forever
Cons: not a mud tire
Mileage: 96560 km

Just got these on my wife's cx5 and yeah they didn't feel much better than the blizzaks we just removed. Then she texted over the weekend to say they're the loudest tires she's ever had and the road noise is terrible.

Pros: null
Cons: loudest tires, terrible noise
Vehicle: Mazda
