Tires MICHELIN or Pirelli

Buy the Michelins ASAP. You'll be surprised at how much of a difference you will feel and hear.

Very happy with my X-Ice.

I have Michelin X-Ice 3 s on both a Dodge truck and a Hyundai Accent. They work excellently, although I noticed on the Accent they are not a great rain tire.

I only run Michelins on everything I drive, I've never had issues with the tires, and I figure if the cost of michelins saves me an accident, then they have paid for themselves

I currently have perelli sottozero 3 on my Stinger, which have been fantastic during winter track days and are rated for higher speeds than the x ice 3s are.

Between all of the vehicles I maintain I only run Michelin X-Ice 3 or Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 tires for winters. Worth every penny.

For comparison, the tires I use on my bike are Michelin Road 5, which seem to be in sale right now for $180 in my size and last around 8k miles

Original Falkens was not a fan of and car doesn't really see offroad minus some local dirt roads. AS3+ are a great 3 season tire, passable if you live somewhere with light winters but run dedicated snows late Nov-early Apr depending on the year.

Pirelli P7 here. 13k miles on them so far. Still baffles me that VW would put a grand touring tire on the GTI but honestly somehow it works. They aren't bad, not great. In terms of comfort and road noise I think they are great, but are mediocre when it comes to handling.

I just replaced a set of dry-rotted, cracked Michelin's with tread that seemed nearly brand new. It really sucked to fail an inspection because of tires with so much tread left.
