Just put the Ice X's back on yesterday for their 2nd winter after going with them from this thread. Very pleased w/ their performance and wear so far.
Pros: pleased with performance

I have the Pirellis on my car and the Generals on my small SUV. Honestly, I like both of them although the SUV goes on dedicated winter tires while the car stays on the Pirellis year around and just stays parked on bad snow days. The ride quality on both is great although the Pirellis may be just a little quieter overall. Tread wear on each has been negligible over a year now so hasn’t been a concern. I used to have OEM Michelins on the SUV which quickly wore out of course and Bridgestones on the car which while a good tire had a very harsh ride quality. The next time I replace tires I’d have no hesitation going with either the Generals or the Pirellis, it will probably come down to which is a better deal at the time.
Pros: great ride quality
Cons: Michelins wore out quickly
Continental ice contact XTRM is absolutely fantastic if you have a Tirecraft near you I believe it is sold there. I have the studded versions and they are amazing.
Pros: absolutely fantastic
All four are solid choices. I’d go with the Contis over the other 3 though. Outstanding tire.
Pros: outstanding tire
The vikingcontact are a top tier tire, but the falken are not far behind. If your budget is limited the falken is a solid option
Pros: top tier tire
Cons: budget is limited
Still rocking the stock AT Pirellis with plenty of tread left too.
Pros: plenty of tread left
Mileage: 20000 km
2013 cooper s bought new. Came with conti all season runflats, couldn't put down power. No grip. Harsh.
Not a month later went to Michelin A/S pilot sport all-seasons.. better, but still couldn't mash the gas coming out of a corner.
5 years later went to the ones I still run today, the Firestone Indy 500. Posh ride, great grip, and I can put full power in 2nd coming out of a corner. Behaves identical to the Yokohama S.Drives I used to have on my Rx-8. Where I live it doesn't even get down to 45\*F so I don't worry about all-seasons anymore. These do magnificent in the wet, too.
Pros: posh ride, great grip
Cons: no grip, harsh
Vehicle:
MINI
I noticed a slight swerve on the highway, which might be because the original Dunlop tires are wearing down.
Cons: slight swerve, wearing down
Vehicle:

7,970 miles. I don't like Goodyear tires. The OEM tires were slippery and the truck stepped out going 25 mph around a corner that I never experienced with my other 2nd gen Tacoma without good year tires. Way to easy to spin off the line even with the torqueless wonder that is the 3rd gen.
Cons: slippery, easy to spin
Mileage: 7970 km
