Michelin PS4s are the best tire I have ever used. Highly recommended.
Pros: best tire ever used
My Forte GT came with Michelin PS4's, and I've never been happier with a set of OEM tires in my life. They're grippy, quiet and do tire things well. I'm not sure how close they are to the non-OEM PS4's you'd buy off the shelf, but I've been pleased so far.
Pros: grippy, quiet, pleased with performance
Vehicle:
Kia
I think a good tire is [Continental Tour] with a skin wall. It's made for Dynamo and includes a light safety belt.
I use it on my old bikes.
Pros: good tire, light safety belt
I've enjoyed the "garbage" Indy 500s on my Challenger since shortly after I bought it, but they're getting up there in age and will be replaced in the spring. Quite possibly with another set. Had another tire in mind as a potential contender, but now I can't remember which one. That car is used for hauling butt on curvy roads, has never been driven in rain, but on hard packed snow. Then the Firestones are all but useless. And I'm sure that worn ones can be interesting in rain. I have DWS06s on a couple of vehicles and really like them, but if not driving on snow the DW version would be fine for me. They really impressed me on wet pavement, although that was years ago and tire offerings have changed.
Pros: good on curvy roads, impressive on wet pavement
Cons: useless on hard packed snow
Vehicle:
Dodge
My loyalties lie with Michelin at this point after 10+ years of Pilot Sport variations on 4 different cars. Being in South FL wet weather traction is important, and the only tire I've driven on that has matched the PS's are the Goodyear Eagle F1 DSg3 that was OE for the GLI, and the current OE spec Goodyear AS2 F1 (something like that) that came on the Cayman but are soon to be replaced with PS4's. Personally, just get the michelins and be done with it. I think the AS4 have a higher treadwear rating, and are slightly less grippy than the PS4, so that may be better for your use case as far as getting more life and having a bit more fun are concerned.
Pros: excellent wet weather traction, good treadwear
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
There are several good winter tires. Blizzacks, Nokian, Michelin, Continental are great. IMO I avoid studded winter tires.
Pros: several good winter tires
Cons: avoid studded winter tires
Vehicle:
Mazda
I run Blizzaks on the factory wheels and summer tires on my Turbomacs. I've run just about every brand of snow tire you can imagine and I find the value to be where Blizzaks live. The roads are trash here in upstate NY for 8 months out of the year and I drive a LOT.
Pros: value to be where Blizzaks live
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 32000 km
Sailun is far from the best, but better than most 3PMS all-seasons.
Pros: better than most
Cons: far from the best
I put Firestone All Season tires on my Wilderness after I got a $600 nail. Biggest mistake. They are crap.
I had the wheels aligned and rebalanced 200 miles after the new tires. They still vibrate and ride like crap as soon as I hit 70mph. Never had that problem with the stock tires.
Pros: better mileage
Cons: vibrate and ride crap
Mileage: 321 km
