I have the hakkapeliitta tires for winter on my CTS-v's, best damn winter tires you can get.
Pros: best damn winter tires

Had good years on my '10 Routan. Meh. Very loud and very hard. Eventually purchased a set of Continentals -- oh my what a difference it made. I would not put anything else on the Routan. They look great and perform flawlessly. Highly recommended.
Pros: perform flawlessly, look great
Cons: very loud, very hard
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I dislike the Conti's very much, always have. I had Pirelli P7s previously and absolutely loved them and will be going that route once I'm due.
Pros: loved Pirelli P7s
Cons: dislike Conti's
I have the Continental ExtremeContactSport DW and have been pretty happy with them for the price.
Pros: happy with price

I had just come from the old Good year Eagle F1 GSD3's which were fantastic if a little soft on the sidewalls. The General's gave me decent tread life and grip. They weren't nearly as good in the wet as the F1's but I'm not sure my current PSS's are even as good as those F1's were; they were simply magic in the wet. My biggest complaint was the noise, just a very loud tire. I've had falken 512's and hated them. I knew how good the PSS's were but they were going to run about $1100 for the set. I ended up spending the extra because of the mileage guarantee. They guarantee 30k miles, which I have never seen out of a set of tires, and pro-rate replacements for any mileage under 30k. On my E46 that equated to me getting BOGO PSS's. The money upfront more than paid for itself in the long run; plus there are no tires on the market that do everything the PSS does as well as the PSS does.
Pros: fantastic wet grip, mileage guarantee
Cons: soft sidewalls, very loud

The Conti’s seem to be the best bang for the buck (as were the departed DW).
Pros: best bang for buck

I actually have the Kuhmos on my 530, and I've been pretty happy with them. Very quiet and seem to grip well. Just my two cents.
Pros: very quiet, good grip

Federals are awesome! I generally rock the 595's. The lateral grip is off the chain, and last forever, things are made with unicorn farts. Every build, every car, gets those tires when I do a wheel package. And I've never had anything close to any kind of problem with them.
Pros: awesome, off the chain lateral grip, last forever
I have 36k on the OEM P-Zeros on my Mk6 GTI and they are at 3/32", so its time for new shoes. Overall, not a bad tire, especially for the money.
Pros: not a bad tire

I have had a few sets of blizzacks, and while they were great on slick roads, I found they were not good going through a few inches or more of snow and were terribly "mushy".
Pros: great on slick roads
Cons: not good in deep snow
