Very happy with my X-Ice.
Pros: very happy
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.
Pros: work excellently
Cons: not 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
Pros: no issues, accident prevention
Between all of the vehicles I maintain I only run Michelin X-Ice 3 or Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 tires for winters. Worth every penny.
Pros: 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
Pros: last around 8k miles
Mileage: 12875 km
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.
Pros: great 3 season tire
Cons: not a fan
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.
Pros: amazing in wet, good grip
Cons: not sporty/firm, slow steering response
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Another vote for the Continental DWS... I have had them for front tires on my '06 for about a year..only reason I haven't replaced the stock rears is because they still have tread left at 73K!(they are Michelin Primacys which are a nice tire but only under dry or wet conditions..tread life is awesome, but they're terrible in snow)
Pros: awesome tread life
Cons: terrible in snow
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B6
Mileage: 73000 km
I've got Xice3, and unfortunately it feels a bit like driving on jello blocks on dry pavement.
Cons: driving on jello blocks
