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
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.
I put the Premieres on my wife's Corolla and they are really amazing in the wet. We took it up Sandia Peak in Albuquerque a few weeks ago to catch the sunset, then it started raining on the way down. I tried to get it to understeer on some of the switchbacks just to see how much grip was left and couldn't get it to slide. They are not super sporty/firm and the steering response is a little slow in the H-rated version but overall I have been really happy with them.
The current tires are Michelin Premier A/S's. They are a nice tire, quiet, grippy and pricey.
Michelin sport 3
Tires: Michelin PSS2, 255/35r18.
They're not great but they are somewhat better than the Michelin MXV4 Plus tires that came with my Passat. I had HX MXM4's on 17\" Long Beaches from my 1.8T Jetta that I have been using on my TDI. Now that they've worn out, I've just replaced them with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Positions. These should give me the kind of cornering and wet weather grip the Michelins lacked.
