Between all of the vehicles I maintain I only run Michelin X-Ice 3 or Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 tires for winters. Worth every penny.
For comparison, the tires I use on my bike are Michelin Road 5, which seem to be in sale right now for $180 in my size and last around 8k miles
Original Falkens was not a fan of and car doesn't really see offroad minus some local dirt roads. AS3+ are a great 3 season tire, passable if you live somewhere with light winters but run dedicated snows late Nov-early Apr depending on the year.
I put the Premieres on my wife's Corolla and they are really amazing in the wet. We took it up Sandia Peak in Albuquerque a few weeks ago to catch the sunset, then it started raining on the way down. I tried to get it to understeer on some of the switchbacks just to see how much grip was left and couldn't get it to slide. They are not super sporty/firm and the steering response is a little slow in the H-rated version but overall I have been really happy with them.
The current tires are Michelin Premier A/S's. They are a nice tire, quiet, grippy and pricey.
Michelin sport 3
Tires: Michelin PSS2, 255/35r18.
- Currently running on Michelin Cross Climates due to a slip on the ice last year

I did 215/45/18 xice3 on OE wheel for more sidewall, If I did it again I would do stock size 2254018. I lost a little bit of responsiveness/ punch from the 1/2\" taller overall diameter and also some curb protection from the 1/2\" narrower tire.
