I've been very happy with my Michelin CC2s. Pretty quiet in the summer and good so far with last week's snow.
Pros: pretty quiet in summer

The Toyo GSI and Hankook I-Pike are both very good performers at better prices. The cheap Chinese tires might be ok for the first season or so, but they fall off very quickly as they wear.
Pros: very good performers
Cons: fall off quickly
I swap my tires for Michelin X-ICE. I keep chains in my cargo box but have never needed them.
Pros: good winter tires
Cons: chains not needed
Vehicle:

I patched up the tubes, treated it to some Continental Double Fighter tires (feels like flying!), ditched the ridiculous bullhorn on the handlebar, swapped out the brakes, and gave it a new saddle.
To my surprise, this beast rides *incredibly* smooth compared to my trusty aluminum Specialized with 29" wheels! It’s way more agile and feels lighter
Pros: incredibly smooth, agile, lighter
I've been using them in the last 3 seasons. Michelin cross climate 2. They wear out bit faster but those tires doing great. No slipping, good control during snowfall. No problem on sludge roads but a bit weak on ice.
Pros: good control, no slipping
Cons: weak on ice, wear faster
Look at Michelin cross climate 2. Will still qualify for your winter tire discount on your insurance, but not annoying having to swap and store tires twice a year. They perform absolutely fine in the winter snow and slush. Tread life and noise are excellent on the cross climate 2s. I've driven in serious snow and they perform extremely well.
Pros: excellent tread life, quiet
Cons: none
Continental DoubleFighter - More pavement friendly but works on singletrack. This is my current choice for riding the Ohio to Erie Trail which is mostly paved surface.
Pros: pavement friendly, works on singletrack
Cons: null
I'm in Ohio, and I've been driving with the Continental DSW06 for 3 years. They seem to wear quickly, though.
Cons: wear quickly
Ironmans are garbage. Slipped in any kind of wet weather
Cons: slipped in wet weather
I put a set of Falken Ziex 512s on my old Civic and it is the one set of tires I've ever returned under a manufacturer's customer satisfaction warranty. Terrible and made the car feel like a Buick or Ford Econoline where you could saw the wheel back and forth and it would just go straight.
Cons: terrible, made car feel bad
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
