Tires MICHELIN or GENERAL TIRE

I've run about 6 sets of General Grabber ATX - good tires

I received my winter set today. Since we only get a handful of actual snow days a season and most of it cleaned within hours, I went with a "performance winter" set, the Michelins pilot alpine 5.

Michelin is the best tire brand.

I typically buy Cooper tires, good quality without the cost of Michelins.

For me it’s Michelin only; it’s the only tire where I can tell a difference between other tires

I always do Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

My previous set were the Bridgestone Blizzaks. Now, I'm using a set of Michelin X-Ice. I've driven around the city and as far as Whistler/Big White (I used to go Cypress 3-4 times a week too during the winter). Blizzaks were a beast in heavy snow. But I think for what you're looking for, I would just go with the X-Ice. They're really quiet and the ride is really comfortable.

I just did the same switch about 2 weeks ago now. I agree with wet performance, they are fantastic. My two biggest differences I've noticed are the Gmax have a tendency to feel a bit floaty on very specific pavement patterns at highway speed.

I got my RX-7 a set of General Altimax RT43. For the past few thousand miles, no complaints.

Michelin Xi3 on my Mustang. I got stuck once in my alleyway because of a really bad ice storm, but otherwise no problems. They are a bit floaty (as winter tires tend to be), but otherwise good dry performance too.
