Summer Tires I have found that Nitto NT555 G2 tires perform just as good as any of the tires you mentioned at half the cost.
Pros: good performance, half cost

A few months after owning my 2018 SEL-P I wound up replacing all four tires. It shipped with Continentals and I replaced them with Pirellis, the difference in road noise was like upgrading an entire class of vehicle. It's not funny how loud the Conties were and how much quieter the Pirelli are at the same size/wheel/etc.
Pros: much quieter, huge difference
Cons: very loud
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I'd use the OEM Falken Sincera’s. This is because I read this review: "So far I have had no flats or problems with the OEM Falken Sincera’s other than being a bit noisy. They have done ok in the DC area weather where we get little snow and I think 40K for tread wear isn’t too bad."
Pros: no flats, ok weather
Cons: a bit noisy
Mileage: 40000 km
Ended up going in a completely different direction. Found the Toyo Open County AT2 for 20% off, making it significantly cheaper. Couldn't say no given the price.
Pros: significantly cheaper
I have them on my 01 4Runner in a 265/75r16 and love them. They wander a little on the highway but not horribly. I’ve only had them in rocks, loose soft dirt, and shallow mud but they impressed the hell out of me the first time I took it out after install.
Pros: impressed in rocks, dirt, mud
Cons: wander a little
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Very happy with mine on my heavy af Land Cruiser. They have 30k miles on them and easily more than half tread left. In Colorado they seem to be an ideal tire - they handle snow/ice far better than any MT I've had and they rock crawl with the best of them.
Pros: handle snow/ice well, rock crawl well
Cons: flat spotting if not driven
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Mileage: 48280 km
I run Contintental Extremecontact Sport XLs and so far nothing but good things to say about them. Smooth ride, used to spin tires ALOT with my all seasons and now I get nothing but grip, massive difference.
Pros: smooth ride, massive difference
An alternative to the Indy 500 tires is the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2. I have them on both of my cars and love them, although they are just a little bit on the noisy side.
Pros: love them
Cons: a little noisy
This is typical of a 4 year old Michelin though..
Pros: typical of Michelin
My R32 came with 4 matching 'new' tyres. They were made by 'Landsail' which apparently is a premium chinese brand... yeah ok... but anyway took it for first MOT a few weeks later and they phoned me up soon after saying I was lucky to still be on the road. The inner walls of the two rear tyres had almost completely perished, held on by threads almost.
Cons: inner walls perished
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
