I purchase michelin tires because they are used on airplanes, the space shuttle, and formula one cars (formerly).

And of course better tires - upgraded to Michelin Premiers for best suite of AS characteristics.
I bought Michelin PSS due to everyone online telling me to and HOLY SHIT. Best tires ever
If you don't need deep snow traction, go with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4. I run them on my sports cars. Excellent cold weather and rain traction. Quiet. Good in light snow and slush.
Xice3 for me. Giant difference.
+1 to the Nokian's if you just need one tire. Personally, keep the stock tire and get some snows for winter use. Been using the Michelin X-Ice3's and they are fantastic and a hell a lot cheaper than the comparible Hakka R series.
I chose these tires because I put them on my 2016 Tucson last year and they are phenomenal.
The AS remind me of all of my Pilot experiences in the wet. But I am cautious when probing limits on public roads; I have yet to experience these in the wet on roads that I know well. I really want to feel how these break loose - sudden or gradual - after loosing traction on wet roads. But they do continue to impress me, far beyond the Pirellis.
My wife's CR-V has Michelin Artic Alpins, they work OK but they emit a really loud "whistle" on wet asphalt.
I swear, this is the worst tire I have ever encountered in my entire life. Sure it rides smooth and soft, and makes almost no noise whatsoever, but is SUCKS as a tire! The tire gives up traction all the time. It totally destroys my confidence when driving my 2003 GTI 1.8T Sport.
