I loved the Conti viking 7's on my rav4 so much, I sold the Xi3's on my Prius Prime and switched to Contis as well. 225/45/17 mounted on 17x7. They seem to wear about as well as the Michelins but they grip much better in all weather conditions, are quieter than the already very quiet Xi3, and the handling is firmer.

Pros: grip much better, quieter
Vehicle: Toyota

I went with 205/50R-17 Michelin X-Ice Xi3 SL (from original 225 on 18\") for winter driving on my GTI. Motivation was keeping circumference the same. Have been happy with Michlins in North East.

Pros: happy with performance
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Continental extreme contact DWS are what I've had in my RS for three years for non summer seasonal driving. They are excellent.

Pros: excellent tires

I drove on a set of Michelin X-Ice 3s during my time in Detroit. We didn’t get tons of snow, but plenty of ice and they held up well.

Pros: held up well

Same for tires. Michelins are the premium tires to buy. Bfgoodrich is great not as good but made by Michelin. Uniroyal (which makes tiger paws that some people loathe) is a cheap tire made by Michelin.

Pros: premium tires, good quality
Cons: cheap tires, some loathe

I have them on my Golf Alltrack and like them. I replaced the factory Continental ProContact TX tires. They are quieter then the Conti's. I bought them because I feel they are the perfect tire for the PNW. They are good in the rain, dry, light snow, dirt roads.

Pros: quieter than Conti's, good in rain

I took advantage of the 4th of July sales and ditched the stock Pirellis for Michelin Sport 4S because I’m going for a road trip along Big Sur and through the Redwoods (Hated the Pirellis).

Pros: better road trip experience
Cons: hated the Pirellis

There were long sections of I-90 especially through Washington that were loud as f***. I don’t know if it’s damage due to chains or what, but I had to endure hours of this nonsense. Maybe it was my tires? They are Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 235/40R18 inflated up to 39 psi for the extra load. They’re silent on most other roads though.

Pros: silent on most roads
Cons: loud on some roads
