I've been happy with my Pirell P-Zero Nero M+S... Good in cold, wet, slush, muck and even a few inches of snow... very good in the dry too.
Pros: good in cold, wet

I got the Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Seasons, and love them. They perform as good as the summer-only variation (not easy to find in many all-seasons), yet offer the security of being able to drive safely n low-temps/snow.
Pros: perform as good as summer
My original Pirelli's were loud after 10K miles. I couldn't wait to get rid of them. The Yoko's are very quiet with exceptional handling characteristics.
Pros: very quiet, exceptional handling
Cons: Pirelli's were loud
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg
Mileage: 10000 km
I replaced mine with Hankook Ventus HRII's, which have performed quite well for the price (I got 18"s for about 110 each). Definitely more grip off the line than the OEM Michelin's and P6's (I've driven both).
Pros: more grip off the line

Volkswagen Eos
We choose to wrap the wheels in Nexen N3000 235/35/19. To be honest they were the cheapest Tires I could find. Another review will come after Jen racks a couple of miles on them.
Pros: cheapest tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I bought some Yokohama YK520s. As for performance they drive well and don't seem to squeal as much when they spin. The handling is very good and the ride is about the same as the Michelins. They road noise is also similar. They handle wet real well
Pros: good handling, wet performance
Cons: balance a bit off
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Eos
Mileage: 7000 km
My 09 Lux only has about 6000 miles but when I bought it I expected to replace the OE tires right away. I had done my homework and came up with the Dunlop SP Sport Signature as the best bet, at a good price too.
Pros: good price
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Eos
Mileage: 6000 km
For the tires I have both Kuhmo Exsta XS and Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1. The Kuhmos offer amazing grip in the dry, a bit more than the Dunlop I would say. Highly recommended for autocross.
Pros: amazing grip in the dry
i had some nt555 on my last car....... great tire....... but horrible wet traction
Pros: great tire
Cons: horrible wet traction
Anyone running Kumho Ecsta MX (ku15) from Tire Rack? I bought a set (225-45-17) for my Jetta and they are complete junk! They are so loud I sound like a garbage truck driving down the road. Upon stopping, the noise is even more unbearable. These tire corner like s--t!
Cons: loud, corner like s--t
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
