Kumho AT51 have been really good. Really quiet, great in winter, but feels like you driving on ice at high speeds (80mph) which is expected from these tires.

Pros: really quiet, great in winter
Cons: driving on ice at high speeds

Today I was able to return the Bridgestone Alenzas and have a different shop set me up with Pirelli Scorpion Verde 235/55/R18 All Season Plus tires and..... AWESOME. These tires are big feeling and grippy, quiet at highway speeds, AND the car is so much more responsive. I can;t compare to tires that I have not tried on this car, but these are a major upgrade from the Continentals that came stock and a very awesome place to be.

Pros: big feeling, grippy, quiet

Kumho Tires

Go with the Khumo. They’re a reputable brand. I’ve heard of some people having issues with the warranty. My personal first hand; they were a great performing tire. I rode mine hard though. So they only lasted about a year and half. It was the MT.

Pros: great performing tire
Cons: short lifespan

Kumho is a well known brand compared to the rest. I'd do kumho solus before any of them.

Pros: well known brand

Kuhmo XS will outperform the Hankook V12 but won't be as good as the aforementioned Star Spec or RS3 or RE11. XS is very sensitive to temperature and rain as it needs to have heat in it for it to work well.

Pros: outperforms Hankook V12
Cons: sensitive to temperature, rain

I have the same tires on our 12. Car currently has just shy of 40k miles, I took the car out to see how it would perform in some snow we had gotten. The tires were rock solid and almost caused me to crash twice. Once I was doing less than 5mph slowly applied brakes on a very slight incline and just slid, not on ice but snow. Second was similar getting into a parking lot. Maybe in just spoiled in my S4 with blizzaks, but I'll be replacing these with something different soon

Cons: almost caused crashes
Mileage: 64374 km
