Continental 860+ I think has been the best reviewed winter tire in EU for several years now. I drive Dunlop, because the Continentals were out of stock.
I now have ZIIIs on my Miata and have been enjoying them. I’m not super picky and they were cheap but the grip is astonishing. Road noise is probably average.
I just had a set of Direzza ZIIIs on my AP2, and switched them out about three weeks ago. I’d put the overall grip from the ZIII slightly higher than as the Falken Azenis RT615 K+ I ran before I switched to the Dunlop. They talk more than the Falkens at the limit, meaning if you like to kick the tail out, they scream like a banshee. They’re a responsive tire, with a stiff sidewall and chunky tread blocks. The tire has a very solid feeling, and doesn’t feel like it deforms a whole lot as you load it up.
I have had the Trailmax Missions on my R1250GS for over a year and 8k miles. Really great adventure tire, decent offroad, great on the road and lasts.
Honestly these are a pretty decent tire in snow and ice having driven the RAV in the snow storm we just got in Mass.
I loved the Sottozero 3's on my previous STi. I got a set of Dunlop WinterMaxx on my R now (got them on sale from TireRack when I got winter wheels) and while they're fine and even good in the snow, they are horrific on wet pavement.
2 years ago, I got Dunlop Winter Sport 4Ds (205/55/16) for 443 shipped. 4Ds aren't the best winter tire out, but really I didn't need blizzaks.
at 18000 miles I had to replace the Dunlap tires on my 2021 rogue sl. flat tires and in the danger zone of 2/32. I have never had to buy tires on a new vehicle at 18000 miles.
404s are pretty shit, tbh. Even Shinkos are a significant improvement. The 777 and the 230 Tour Master walk the 404.
The Dunlops didn’t seem all that grippy though; I felt the rear start to slide out inexplicably on a tight turn on a clean road that was only slightly rough and I didn’t feel like I was really pushing the bike all that much - just light throttle and was riding smoothly.
