You can't beat Nokians. I go out of my way to acquire them for all winter tire applications.
No contest between Nokian and anything else.
Pros: unbeatable winter tire

The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 is an all-weather tire with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. Not only that, but it is an exceptionally good tire, with not only excellent snow and ice traction, but excellent dry and wet too.
Pros: excellent snow and ice traction
Cons: none compromising wet traction
There are Hankook RS4s, and then there are all other tires that cost more, need to be replaced more often, and are slightly faster. Best bang for the buck tire, I'm on my fifth set.
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: slightly faster alternatives
RE71R’s or full Hoosier slicky boys if I’m feeling spicy and really wanna set a PB.
Pros: good grip
I'm a big fan of the GY SC3R for HPDE. The grip is so impressive once you get some heat into them.
Pros: impressive grip
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
Toyo RA-1 - I bought a set of these to run on wet days or when there is real threat of rain. On a dry day, especially with full tread, they don't live up to the other three tires up there. But on a cooler day, especially a slightly wet or wet one, these tires can move. I also find them the easiest of these four to recover from a slide
Pros: good on wet days
Cons: not good on dry days
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
Snow grip wise, I'd say a Nokian or even Kleber has very good winter tires.
Pros: very good winter tires
Vehicle:

They don’t seem to have got a mention yet, but the generally accepted ‘best track tyre for lowest price’ is the Nankang NS-2R. Right at the bottom of the price range for semi-slicks so obviously it’s performance isn’t at the same level as bigger brands semi-slicks, or eve Nankang’s own AR-1s (which most agree is a genuinely good semi-slick), but performs better on track than more expensive road/summer tyres in the dry.
Pros: best track tyre, lowest price
Cons: doesn't deal well wet
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
My experience with Pirellis in the past, great wear and performance but horribly noisy after about 20,000 miles, to the point I replaced a set on my old Touareg long before they needed it because they were so annoying.
Pros: great wear and performance
Cons: horribly noisy after miles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg
Mileage: 20000 km
I've had the Nitto Ridge Grappler in a 285/76r16 for about a year and a half now with about 19k miles. I just went in to get them rotated and they told me I should consider new tires, because they're down to 4/32 in the middle and 7/32 along the edge. Of course they also don't have a mileage warranty, so I'm disappointed to say the least and won't be buying them again.
Cons: wore out quickly, no warranty
Mileage: 30577 km
