I got new Michelin all seasons that are just as awesome.
After 23k miles I didn't want to keep the Falken OE tires on my car for another winter. Michelin has released the CrossClimate 2 tire in the Alltrack OE size (205/55R17 95V XL) and I decided to buy a set. I love them! These tires have given the car a great steering feel and are quiet on the road, and I think they look just right for the Alltrack.
If you want a Decent tire I would suggest the general tires 365AW grand touring tire they are 3 peak severe snow service rated touring tire with a 540 treadwear so they're not a dedicated snow tire but will do the exact same and you'll also be able to use them year round without them being too soft.
I really like the Michelin x-ice tires, they are on the quieter side for winters I've had on the dry and great in the snow, but noise comes with that added traction anyway you do it.
I have the Pilot A/S 3+ on my A5. Love them. Had them on my Golf R too. I'm generally a diehard Michelin tire guy, but the improvement of the DWS06+ over the Pilot Sport AS4 might make me switch were I need tires today.
I went with the AS3+ because of the good wet braking and wet grip over the competition. It could be just me but Goodyear tires seem to wander sideways on the highway a lot. I notice I have to pay more attention to keep the vehicle centered in the lane.
I run grand-touring summers (H-rated Michelin Energy, used on the base Mini) on my Yaris year-'round here (Texas) and they are great, only getting a little scrabbly in sub-freezing temperatures. The summer Energy Saver (not the A/S) is the best all around tire I have ever had. Smooth, quiet, good steering response, excellent braking, tons of grip. If you slam on the brakes, it just STOPS without a bunch of scratching around and ABS intervention.
Michelin X Ice Snow for winter tires on my VW. Improved grip and stopping distance below 7C compared to all weather tires, even when there is no snow or ice.
I like General tires for the most part and dislike Goodyear.
Honestly this isn't all that uncommon in Michelins and Michelin won't warrant it, they call it normal.
