I like Continental DWS on my R. They are a good set up for heavy rain and mild snow, and fairly cheap.
Pros: good for rain, fairly cheap
I have Ventus V12 Evos in 205/40/17 on my MX-5 and I really like them. As as street tire/occasional autocross tire they have not let me down. I've run them to temps as low as the low 40's Fahrenheit and have been pleased with their performance.
Pros: good street tire, autocross tire
Vehicle:
Mazda
Try, Federal RS-R. It should be equal to XS in performance but cheaper. I have the 195/50/15 on Miata and I think it is better than my previous Falken Azenis.
Pros: equal to XS, cheaper
Vehicle:
Mazda
I have a set of the Ventus V12 Evos on my R53, and they see auto-x and daily driving. I think they are great tires for the money, they are quiet, precise, and have some pretty incredible grip.
Pros: quiet, precise, incredible grip
Cons: showing some wear
Vehicle:
MINI
Mileage: 15000 km
I'm running the V12's and find them pretty good for track/auto x duties. They especially shine in the wet. I find that I need to run them at a higher psi (around 38-40) to compensate for the 'sidewall issue' though.
Pros: good for track duties, shine in the wet
Cons: sidewall issue
If you are looking at 25c, I think Maxxis Re-fuse is a much better deal at about half the price.
Pros: better deal, half price
Mileage: 16000 km
I have Continental 4000 700x25 tires. In 4000mi I got 2 flats and the tires look good for a few thousand miles more. Low rolling resistance, fast, great handling. I highly recommend Continental tires.
Pros: low rolling resistance, fast
Cons: got 2 flats
Mileage: 6400 km
I have the LX Platinums on my GLI. After 20,000+miles, they show little wear. Handling is definitely noticeably worse than the original summer tires, but not awful. Winter traction was surprisingly good.
Pros: little wear, good winter traction
Cons: worse handling than summer tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 20000 km
I have the KH16, and they have the worst wet weather traction I have ever encountered. I have them on a Pontiac Grand Prix.
Cons: worst wet weather traction
