Love me some winter sidewall... 15” Michelin X-ice on old school BBS Moda from 1992. No need for AWD on the shores of Lake Ontario
Pros: love winter sidewall

I just replaced my Michelin Premiere LTX on my 2012 Murano a few thousand miles ago or so.
In my opinion, they were great performing tires. My experience has been completely different than the other poster who said they were poor in cornering and quick maneuvers. I drive windy mountain roads in Appalachia all the time, and they did great in the corners. It might have to do with my tires having not much sidewall (P235/55R20), though.
They were excellent in the rain, even in standing water. I'd crank through fairly deep puddles and it wouldn't even as much as pull. Great hydroplaning resistance.
Snow.. they were about as good as you can really expect without a winter-rated tire. They did get me through weekly 400 miles trips from North Central WV to Northern Virginia every week last winter, without any worries.
Pros: great performing tires, excellent in rain
Cons: 42k miles before replacement
Vehicle:
Nissan Murano
Mileage: 42000 km
I have had one set of the Tiger Paws. Was very happy with them. Didn't feel mushy, cornering vastly improved over the Michelin tires.
Pros: cornering vastly improved
Cons: none
As an alternative to all-out winter tire, the new Vredestein Quatrac Pro "all-weather" tire has received great reviews from both Consumer Reports and Tire Rack
Pros: great reviews
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Vredestein now definitely has the segment performance leader in the Quatrac Pro for "all-weather" tires available in large wheel sizes and low profile sizes (my wife's new Impreza will be getting the Michelin CrossClimate+, but not available for our Arteon).
Pros: segment performance leader
Cons: not available for Arteon
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
When my wife bought her Bolt EV, sales people didn\u2019t even try to sell an extended warranty or extended service. my household have been driving EVs for 6 years; 70k miles and zero maintenance outside of rotating tires. Cheapest cars to operate and maintain.
Pros: cheapest to operate, maintain
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Bolt
Mileage: 70000 km
Should be just replacing the factory PSC2s with PS4s. The difference in wear is pretty huge, and unless you're at 10/10 the performance difference is worth the $$ savings
Pros: huge difference in wear
Cons: performance difference
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
All-season Cooper CS5 Ultra in 225/45-17 work great in wet, comfy with poopy handling. Here on 7.5" wide wheels.
Pros: comfy in wet conditions
Cons: poopy handling
I used VCDS to recalibrate the speedo after swapping tires from Dunlop SP Sport 225/40R18 to Pirelli Pzero 235/40R18 rubber. Best I could achieve was with Distance Impulse Number 7 (stock was 6). Couldn't select a higher number, VCDS reported 8 as out of range and that was the highest option available. The difference over an extended period of testing was only about 0.5 MPH closer to what two GPS units were reporting. Meh.
Pros: recalibrated speedo with VCDS
Cons: only 0.5 MPH closer
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
That model Bridgestone tires is terrible in winter. Traction goes away below 45°. Wet weather is a challenge to say the least. I took them off and put on continental DWS tires at 10,000 miles.
Cons: terrible in winter, poor traction
Mileage: 10000 km
