Continental DSW06, might be able to find older model (not the + I think) for cheaper.
Pros: cheaper, older model
Vehicle:

Mines are Tigar Tires which are owned by Michelin, for both winter and summer. Maybe the best quality=price choice in my country.
Pros: best quality price
My bike came with 27.5 **Ardent Race** tires and they are super fast and plenty grippy for most days. The side lugs grab corners really nicely. I have some 60tpi Ardents around and they are heavier and slower feeling.
Pros: super fast, plenty grippy
Cons: heavier and slower feeling
A few years ago I went to purchase Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires 225/45/18r at discount tire...they wouldn't sell AND mount for my Alltrack the Load Index Rating for that size is 91, they told me the minimum LIR is 95 for the Alltrack, they said it's a liability issue for them. I purchased Pirelli P Zero + and they are surprisingly great tires.
Pros: surprisingly great tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I like Bridgestone. Never had Goodyears, but I would only get them for specialty purposes (racing, off-roading), not all-year regular passenger car tires.
Pros: like Bridgestone
I rode them on a friends t7. I really liked them, from my impression they really deliver on that "50/50"-saying of Dunlop. They have a very stiff sidewall which helps with punctures (compared to let's say a anakee wild).
Pros: very stiff sidewall
I just did the same switch about 2 weeks ago now. I agree with wet performance, they are fantastic. My two biggest differences I've noticed are the Gmax have a tendency to feel a bit floaty on very specific pavement patterns at highway speed.
Pros: fantastic wet performance
Cons: floaty on pavement
I have Conti-Extreme Contact DWS06's on her from fall-spring (right now I have summers on.) today the temps were at around 57* and they were most certainly squirrely until they warmed up. They are a good overall tire but they will break loose (both all season and summer) if you have enough HP. they're a good all season tire. but I wouldn't push them to the limits. they are predictable also and I've pushed them in the corners with satisfactory handling.
Pros: satisfactory handling, predictable
Cons: squirrely until warmed up
Vehicle:
BMW
I think you should skip the Vredstreins, they are kinda soft sidewalls and got lackluster results here in Stowe from the local tire dealers.
Cons: soft sidewalls, lackluster results
