I put a little over 50K on my Dunlops before replacing them a few weeks back and got Pirelli Scorpion AS/Plus 3. I do a lot of long-distance driving though, so maintaining range was important to me.
Owner reviews for tires
Got myself Continental Viking Contact and they are the best overall (dry, wet, snow, ice, sound level and rolling resistance) while not much more than the prices you listed. Iv had my Viking Contact for 2 winters now and I love them!
My Yokohama Geolandar ATs have never let me down towing trailers off road in mostly very wet/boggy grass.
But are still well behaved on road
They really are amazing tires.
I have the cc2s on my highlander and camry. They get about 45k miles on them. I have driven them on gravel and grass fields. Where they excel in my opinion is when you hit a deep puddle unexpectedly at high speeds. You don't lose control. Also, very good on slushy/icey roads and in the rain.
I have the Scorpions and love them. I choose them because of the lower ride noise and think they look nicer on the car than the CC2s.
Pirelli are fine. I think they get bad rep but worked well even in light snow and rain.
my experience is that summer tyres provide _significantly_ more grip in the wet than CC2s. If you get ice and snow, CC2s are great, but they're not very good in the wet.
They're also not particularly quiet. I put them on my XC90 and found them to be very droney at anything over 50mph.
Brand new set of General GS-05's that had <100 miles on them. I was literally a mile from home when I heard the sound of something hitting the underside of the d/s rear quarter. Got home and pulled in the driveway, and the rear tire was flat. Turns out I ran over someone's vape pen, and it cut a perfect 3/8" diameter hole in my tire.
While braking on the big straight away, every single time I was sliding, ABS kicked on, and I had to counter steer, these tires are awful and got scrubbed hard. Imo I was not overdriving though, I didn't skid much, where I did, it was very brief.
