Always been a bi Michelin fan - never been done wrong with them. They cost a little more, but the ride and quiet are worth it to me. My X5 is right at the 70,000 mile mark with the set of Defender LTX I have on it, and I'd imagine another set is going on right behind them.

Pros: ride and quiet
Cons: cost a little more
Vehicle: BMW X5
Mileage: 70000 km

So I had Michelin Xclimates front and rear. After 31,000 miles, I unfortunately got a puncture in my front right after hitting a ratchet strap :(

At the time (5 years ago) £125 a tyre was definitely worth it for ~31,000 miles.

I changed the fronts with a set of Xclimate 2s. They’re expensive yeah… but they work.

Pros: worth it for miles
Cons: expensive
Mileage: 31000 km

Absolutely worth it. Mine feels so much better in wet weather, and it barely affected the fuel economy over the eco-tyres I had before.

Pros: better in wet weather
Cons: price rises

Try Maxxis AP3's, they're dirt cheap and nearly as good as the Michelin Cross climates. I've genuinely been impressed by that specific Maxxis tyre, on my 3rds set now.

Pros: dirt cheap, nearly as good

Decent brand all-season tyres will last well and be safe and capable all year round (come snowy season you might get roped into giving lifts lol), and you’ll have peace of mind; and those to me are certainly valuable enough to spend £350 on.

Pros: safe and capable

I replaced all my mismatched tyres when I bought my 2012 Yaris three years ago, with a set of Michelin CrossClimate+. Worth the piece of mind.

Pros: worth the piece of mind

I just bought these for my GTI... I am a Michelin fanboy but not impressed with these tires. My MPSS are buttery smooth and quiet. These tires are very noisy, and ride a bit rougher. I've got them 225/40/r18 mounted on stock Austins (so its not the wheels) and i've had them rebalanced twice so its not a balancing issue.

Cons: very noisy, ride rougher
Vehicle: Volkswagen
