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

Firestones will have the best handling characteristics of the 3 options for spirited driving. Michelens the worst.

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

Firestone Indy 500 tire? What level are you running at and on what car? What is your psi? It's a great novice (to intermediate-ish)tire, but you have to know when to back off. Run them too hot and they'll get a little greasy feeling. Although I can't see that happening after 1 lap.

Pros: predictable tire, good feedback
Cons: greasy feeling

I've had the Firestone Weathergrips on my Camry for 4+ years. Solid performance all around - better in snow than any all season tire I have used. Noise has gotten worse as they wear - there isn't any cupping or uneven wear - I think it is just the nature of the tire.

Pros: solid performance, better in snow
Cons: noise got worse

Get the Firestone All Seasons, or Firestone Wearhergrip All Weather tire. Both are excellent for snow, rain - any weather.

Pros: excellent for snow, rain

I don't see any tire alternative that is a better choice than Firestone. They aren't perfect, but they are usually very good and don't have a lot of catastrophic failures.

Pros: usually very good
Cons: aren't perfect

The Firestone destination le2 are straight garbage. Mine have 32k on them and they have zero grip in the snow, even in light powder snow. I might replace them before they are worn just because of how dangerous they are in wet and snowy conditions

Cons: zero grip in snow
Mileage: 32000 km

My dad had a Ranger that came with the recalled infamous Firestone Wilderness AT's. When they did the recall, they put the shittiest summer street tires on as a replacement with absolutely no traction in the snow. That's the worst tire I've ever ran on a vehicle.

Pros: none
Cons: no traction in snow
Vehicle: Ford Ranger
