I’ve had AS4 and now have DWS06+. The Conits have 90% of the sportiness but way better in terms of noise and comfort. Both have really good absolute grip levels so that’s kind of a wash. It’s more about feel than true limits.

Pros: better noise and comfort
Cons: less sportiness

YOKOHAMA Tires

I drive a 2015 Fit with Avid Ascend GT tires. It can handle the midwest snow just fine. My last set of 4 lasted me a little over 36k miles / 4.5 years with some poor road conditions in the city and lots of highway driving.

Pros: handles midwest snow fine
Vehicle: Honda Fit
Mileage: 57936 km

I have Yokohama Avid Ascend GTs on my 15. I have 195/55R16s and I don't want to go any wider than that.

My experience with them has been very positive. They have more than enough lateral grip for autocross and tearing up back roads, but are still solid feeling in the frequent rainstorms of the east coast. And while we don't get that much snow where I am, it handles that well enough as well.

Pros: positive experience, solid feeling
Vehicle: Honda Fit

Continental DWS 06 Plus is also an amazing A/S tire and more reasonably priced than the Michelins. I've put 20,000 miles on my SQ5 with them. Still quiet, great ride, handle excellent in the wet and dry. Until something better comes along, it's the only tire I'll buy.

Pros: quiet, great ride
Cons: more reasonably priced
Vehicle: Audi SQ5
Mileage: 32186 km

My avid ascends have been great for the last couple runs. I am at 225k miles almost. Had three pair. Only complaint is that I didn't get very near the advertised warranty mileage. More like 50k per set.

Pros: great for last runs
Cons: low mileage per set
Mileage: 362102 km

I buy all my GP5000s from AliExpress. They weigh the same, feel the same and lasted me 3000-4000 km before I have to change them just like the “originals” I bought from a reputable bike shop.

Pros: weigh the same, feel same
Mileage: 3500 km

I’ve only had snows on my Crosstreks, but have driven on snow with stock tires with a friends Crosstrek. I live in an area that gets about 220 inches of snow a year, plus shoulder seasons of slush and ice. This is how I’d rank them-

Better- Crosstrek on stock- ok

Pros: ok on snow
Vehicle: Subaru

The tires are rated at 1 on the tire toughness scale. I forget what it’s called but they are super fragile, garbage tires. They also wear hilariously fast and handle poorly.

Cons: super fragile, garbage tires
