The Altimax RT 43s seem to have good reviews all around, particularly in wet weather.
Just had some General Altimax Arctic mounted on the stock 15's last week. Paid $310 mounted after rebate at Sears. I used the same tires for three winters on my last car, and was really happy with the way they performed.
Have General Altamax Arctic ready to go on them, these tires are great for the price.
The GENERAL ALTIMAX ARCTIC are pretty good for the Canadian winter. They have some very good ratings on Tire Rack. I have 17 inches for winter.
Dunlop SportMaxx RT. Best bang for buck IMO.
I installed Dunlop sport max RT summer tires and they work great and were priced good, I've had them on all winter too and I've driven them in 20-30° weather and they still performed very good, although I'm happy overall with the tire, they're almost worn out.
I wish there were more options but the OEM Dunlops are wearing well -- only about halfway worn at 25k miles. They are decent, quiet and have good grip (wet braking is very good) so I might just buy another set of them when the time comes.
I have the dunlops on my S4, and I'm quite happy with them. They' have about 10k miles on them, and are wearing better than I expected. For the price, you won't be disappointed.
I think the dunlops will wear out faster than the michelin , in my experience .
The OEM Dunlops on my 12 GLI suck in the wet and I'm sure they would be worse in the snow.
