Tires MICHELIN or DUNLOP
Michelin are a great choice, I would choose the CrossClimate2. I understand tires are expensive, but Michelin tires maintain their performance when they get worn, whereas other brands drop off significantly.
I put on a set of CrossClimate2's and have been very very happy.
IIRC, my Dad's 2011 v6 Mustang, came from Ford with Michelin Energy Savers.
I had to change tyres for my 5 series last month. I went with Dunlop (not runflat) and can feel a marked improvement in the ride quality over the run flats.
I have GMC 3500HD SRW with almost 50k on OEM Michelin tires. There's still pretty good tread on them.
Michelin AS4s for year-round work fine for me, although I live in the midwest. But as long as you're smart and aren't trying to be the first one on the road before the plow trucks make their rounds, I've never had an issue.
I used them both on street and track on a gsxr600. I loved them for dry weather sporty street riding. On sunny track days, the rear overheats after a couple of laps and the grip noticeable reduces, but even then the rear is still very controllable and completely safe. No warmers needed and excellent wear.
I put pilot sport 4s on my 2014 GT and love them. I stayed away from the run flats and they provide great feedback.
Got a set on my Honda Clarity not long ago, this is my first set of CrossClimate 2 tires on an electric vehicle. I got these because I was so happy with them on my Camry.
They are fantastic in the rain. I've never had a tire so resistant to hydroplaning.
But I want to warn everyone interested that these tires are very noisy in the low frequency range of about 60-160 Hz.
Dry weather and rain they're ok. I didn't like them on packed snow so much. Too much sliding and slipping.
