Used the V12's on my Saab, good wear and quiet and get about 35-40k miles out of them. R-S3's for rain tires on my track TT, they work well for both slightly damp track days and in the heavy rain. On the street they are quiet compared to the Nitto NT-05's and last longer 30k miles normally opposed to 15-20k.
I've run Rs-3s on the Alfa. They are good option for a budget performance tire because they wear really well.
I have Hankook tires on my '77 Town Car. Miles above the 35 year-old Michelin Xs they replaced. They are quiet and grippy in the corners.
I've driven Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2's my dad's 993 quite a bit. No complaints, they work fine for highway cruising/spirited driving.
I had a set of Hankook Winter i*Pikes, and I liked them. Not as grippy as Blizzaks or Toyo G-02s, but they were also fairly cheap.
General Altimax Artic and Gislaved Nordfrost 100. Both are well rounded winter tires (dry cold, wet, ice, snow). They are from a reputable brand (Continental) and reasonably priced.
I've had nothing but General tires on my car for the last 8 years. With my Matrix XR AWD it was General Altimax HP when the OEM Goodyear Eagles were done. I went through two sets of the Generals and loved them. With the GLI, I had OEM Dunlop SP Sport that sucked. I replaced them with a set of General G Max AS-03's and again have loved their return for wear, performance, and noise. They handle just as good in the wet as they do the dry.
I bought a set of 17" wheels for my Impreza, and they came with General G-Max AS-03s on them. I've been very pleasantly surprised. I've used them for two summers, and they're fairly grippy and the ride seems fine for a 215/45ZR17, so no complaints about Generals from me.
I'm running the OEM Hankook Optimo 426s on my Fiesta, and they're just about to the wear bars at 53K. They wore pretty well, I guess, decent traction and noise control, not a bad tire overall.
Riding on Pirellis Cinturatos P7 now. IMO best tire for the Passat. The hankooks had no grip even in very light snow. Rain driving was scary, loud on highway. I couldn't risk driving my family with them.
