I'm extremely happy with my Firestone Destination X/T's in LT285/65R20E. They are quiet, good in the rain and very solid feeling even on my 1 Ton.

Pros: quiet, good in rain

One of the TireRack reps suggested the Firestone WeatherGrip tire. He drives an Alltrack and said that tire is the best all season/winter mild tire, but not at lot of people buy it because they think is not a really all season.

Pros: best all season/winter mild tire

I have Pirelli Scorpion A/T Plus for about a year, and 20k km (the passenger version not LT). I am pleased with them, because they have good handling. The grip on unsealed road seems satisfactory.

Pros: good handling, satisfactory grip
Mileage: 20000 km

A few years ago I went to purchase Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires 225/45/18r at discount tire...they wouldn't sell AND mount for my Alltrack the Load Index Rating for that size is 91, they told me the minimum LIR is 95 for the Alltrack, they said it's a liability issue for them. I purchased Pirelli P Zero + and they are surprisingly great tires.

Pros: surprisingly great tires
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I have Pirellis, but I have the Scorpion All Season Verde. They are the best tires I’ve used so far out of the stock and some Continentals.

Pros: best tires used

While others swear by Michelin and Continental, I've got Pirellis on my 2019 Sport GT. My rationale is that if Pirelli is good enough for F1, it's good enough for me. I also bought my winter rims and tires when I bought my vehicle, and Pirelli is what the dealer suggested.

Pros: good enough for F1
Cons: pricey
Vehicle: Mazda 3

I had Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+ which lasted around 23000 miles. Now I am running Pirelli Scorpion Verde as they were on promotion and I saved over £100 on all four. Pretty quiet tyre and decent road grip, both in dry and wet conditions.

Pros: quiet tyre, decent grip

I've had these on for a few days, so I can't give a comprehensive review, but here are my first impressions.

The 70,000 mile warranty was the biggest selling point here. These are 700AA on the UTQG scale, so much harder than the 400 UTQG Continentals that I'm used to. I expected stiffer feel over bumps and louder road noise since they don't have foam, but these actually seem softer and quieter. The traction is noticeably worse in dry conditions, haven't tested on wet roads. I got them to spin out from a stop, but maybe that was just breaking them in, because now they don't seem to lose traction. The biggest downside is the reduced steering precision. These have a very wavy wandering feedback to inputs, my friend says it may be 'tread crawl' from having thicker treads than the old ones. The Continentals felt like a scalpel on winding roads, these are more like a rubber scalpel.

I need to try a few more situations, like rain, but I think I'm going to end up liking these better because the increased comfort is more useful to me than the performance.

Pros: softer, quieter, increased comfort
Cons: reduced steering precision

Same story. Popped three in the last month, potholes are awful here on Long Island, and my Arteon is paying the price.

Cons: popped three in month
Vehicle: Volkswagen

The Firehawk Indy is a really good tire for performance but sucks for every day use. They get very noisy after a few heat cycles and they offer little to no wet grip. In fact once they're around 50% they're straight up ice skates in the rain.

Pros: good tire for performance
Cons: noisy, little wet grip
