My dad put Kendas on his car (from Hyperdrive) and has been very happy with them. Good durable value from a pretty reputable Taiwanese brand.
Pros: good durable value

I seem to get 45k km from each full set of Goodride SA07s (215/45/ZR17). This is on a Subaru Legacy that spends most of its time above 80kph.
Pros: 45k km each set
I've had good results with hifly across car, 4x4 and heavily loaded trailers.
Pros: good results
I ended up going down the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S route, although I put it off quite a bit longer than I had initially planned. I also ended up going with a 20 mm wider section than factory, for a 255/45-18 square setup. I spent the past Sunday bombing up and down some North Bay back roads, and now feel somewhat qualified to give an opinion. My thoughts are as follows: Overall, it's a pretty night-and-day difference. I didn't think the switch would be as immediately noticeable to a relative casual such as myself, but it absolutely is. It's improved flaws I assumed were intrinsic to the car, and didn't think could be resolved solely with tires; at least not to this extent. Some specifics include: Steering feel has greatly improved, loading up in the turns when it really didn't before. Steering remains relatively light overall, but now you can at least feel what the front end is doing in a corner. On-center feedback is similar, or maybe slightly worse than before, but overall I'd say it's more than a fair trade. There's so much more grip than before, especially noticeable up front. I've yet to get this car to understeer with these new tires on them. As I allude to in this post from last year, when I was on the old tires, I was consistently battling with the car pushing when driven hard. That's pretty much gone, and I'm not sure if the limits of the Michelins will be found by me; at least not on the street. Axle-hop is an issue I previously had to drive around; but that problem has been greatly reduced. I'm a little unsure of why this is (ChatGPT tells me the firmer sidewalls and extra grip of the Michelins should actually make this problem worse), but I promise it's better. I have only put a few hundred miles on these tires since getting them mid-June, so I really can't comment on things such as tire life or wet-weather ability. Road noise and comfort are good, but not really a noticeable change for me. I was a little nervous getting tires almost an inch wider than factory, I thought they might look goofy; but I honestly think most people would be fooled into believing they're OEM. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase; and I'd go so far as to say it's transformed my car. While my Mustang will always be a bit too heavy and wide to feel like a genuine sports car, it's now a much more willing participant on a back road and it is way easier to carry speed through the turns. An increase in turn-in ability at the front and a decrease in skittishness at the rear also make me a much more confident driver behind the wheel.
Pros: greatly improved steering feel, much more grip, reduced axle-hop, good road noise and comfort, trans
Cons: on-center feedback slightly worse
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
I've had Laufenn tyres and found them excellent.
Pros: found them excellent
I run Yokohama advan sport v105s that run between 5-600 a tyre and they’re excellent. Softer rubber so they ware a bit quicker but it’s worth it for the grip… they’re an all year tyre too.
Pros: excellent, worth it grip
Cons: ware a bit quicker
Part number: V105S
We have Bridgestone Ecopia tyres on our CX5. They are mid price and seem to be lasting well
Pros: lasting well
Vehicle:
Mazda
The Celsius 2 is a decent all weather but not as good as they crossclimate.
Pros: decent all weather
Cons: not as good
I’ve had mine for 12 months and 4 nails = 3 tire patching and 1 replacement. Unreal. I’ve had 12 other cars and maybe 1 other bolt in a regular tire and 1 flat. My fiance says it’s these tires- they are susceptible to this!!!! It’s horrible!
Cons: susceptible to nails
Nope - CC2's kill mileage.
Cons: kill mileage
