I've got the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and they are absolutely amazing. I'm in Socal so summer tires are all I need really. They are the best overall rated tires on Tirerack's summer tires comparison. That plus tons of personal recommendations made my decision for me.
Continental extreme contact DWS all-season. Best tire out there for all-weather conditions in my opinion. I've run a bunch of different setups on numerous cars (AWD S4, RWD 328i, FWD Acura TL-S), and I always like the DWS the best. Second best to me were Mich. contact sport A/S.
Replaced my dunlops 2 days ago at 43k with Pilot Sport AS 3s. Love them so far. Super sticky
I've have a great experience with Michelin Pilot AS/3's. They'll get you around in the snow but also perform really well in dry conditions. Their grip in corners is really strong and they don't let go.
The only "good" winter tire I have experience with is the General Altimax, which did great and I would recommend highly.
The DWS are great tires. I honestly had no problems in my girlfriend's Subaru with the stock bridgestone "no-seasons" until I bogged it in about 10" of fresh snow in the middle of the night (up to the doors), with the tires at the wear bars. I was impressed. The DWS are even better.
Agree with the Conti DWS. My son lives in Colorado and regularly heads to the mountains to ski. The DWS worked fine for him in his 2011 WRX.
What I can tell you is that the AS 3's have eliminated all the road noise, my handling is vastly improved, and they grip like hell - I used to get chirps when I would floor it off the start between DSG shifts. Not anymore!!
Drove in the rain with the Dunlop Saturday. The traction control came on a few times, but I think its due more to the amount of low-end torque the GLI makes. Now it wasn't difficult to drive, just watch how much throttle you give it.
my buddy just picked up ws70's for his 2011 wrx. yesterday we went for a ride up the mountains and both of us where dissapointed in the ws70's. There was no snow or ice, but we did hit wet/damp roads and the ws70's where very squirmy in the corners. they sort of understeer then snap and oversteer. I wouldnt suggest them if she does any sort of spirited driving.
