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)

Nokia Tires

I paid $220 for 4 almost-brand-new Nokian WRG2 a month ago, installed. They were at about 90% remaining still. I'd rather get slightly-used good tires than brand-new pieces of sh*t. 100% happy with them so far.

Pros: 100% happy

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

I had Kumho LE Sports on my 95 M3 and really liked them as a street tire. Quiet, good dry/wet traction, and the price was right. I'd buy them again.

Pros: quiet, good traction
Vehicle: BMW

I've got the Ecsta Supra 712's (15") and they seem OK. Maybe because I don't have much experience with different types of tires, but they seem to slide a bit on hard turns. They also wear fairly quick.

Pros: seem OK
Cons: slide on hard turns, wear quick

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
