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 just got rid of my Falken 512s. They were not good (loud, hard, wore out fast), but for that price pretty much nothing is. I ended up going with Kumho ASX's and I'm pretty happy with them. They have a 30k mile warranty and ride much better than the Falken 512s, are quieter, and offer just as much grip. I think they run around $110/tire.

Pros: ride much better, quieter, good grip (Kumho)
Cons: loud, hard, wore out fast (Falken)

GENERAL TIRE Tires

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 have some decent Kumhos on mine (used to have Gislaved Nordfrost 5 on my MKIV, but they wore very quickly) and my Golf is perfectly fine in the snow.

Pros: perfectly fine in snow
Cons: wore very quickly

Got Kumho ECSTA 4X installed on my wagon almost 2 months ago. 235/40/18 95XL. They replaced the good year eagle GT's. About 2k miles on them now, they are quiet and softer riding then the good year, but doesn't grip as well on dry road. (i.e. with the good year, I could not get the front tires to spin from a dead stop even if I floor it, with the kumho, they spin for a fraction of a second before the 4motion kicks in) haven't had rain so don't know how they handle in wet. But they are definitely more comfortable than the good year.

Pros: quiet, softer riding
Cons: doesn't grip as well
Mileage: 2000 km

Kumho Tires

I have the Kuhmo Road Venture APT KL51 235/60. I was very happy with them until I realized the fronts are shot after 20K mi. I probably ran them under inflated a bit for too long. And never rotated them =(. The taller than stock size makes zero noticeable difference on the speedo or power on the road. My speedo matches my GPS reading exactly. Clearance is no problem.

Pros: happy with them
Cons: fronts shot after 20K mi
Mileage: 20000 km

I bought these exact tires for my gli. I don't know what the deal is with them, but they flat out SUCK in the snow. The are by far the worst performing all season tire in terms of snow usage that I've ever run.

Cons: SUCK in the snow
