Once I put Pilot Sports onto my V40 that thing just came alive. It didn't have crazy power obviously but you could use all of it, all the time and I kept up with or outran much quicker BMWs, Mercs and VWs because it could handle corners (especially once I got the hang of heel-toeing).
I had Hankook Dynapros on Tacoma. They were quiet on road and still aggressive enough for off road or foul weather.
Been on the Defender m/s2 for 26,300mi. Still at 44mph average speed. 2.25mi/kwh. They have better steering response and overall grip than A/T which anyone would expect, quieter but not silent, lacking in the looks department, wearing better than Pirellis but faster than the Michelin treadlife prediction. Tire noise has not gotten worse as they age, possibly quieter but I deal with a lot of wind noise so not sure.
I bought a pair of Hankook Icept iZ3, which were pretty well reviewed but a bit cheaper than Blizzacks or X ice.
Got the Michelin 275/60/R20 for the past 10k miles and getting good efficiency. Ride was comfortable as well.
Just did the same switch myself and it’s the best ever.
I just bought winter tires and went for the Michelin X-Ice snow tires. We'll see how they work out once the snowy weather gets here, but they've been well reviewed.
Has great luck with the Michelin x-ice. They last forever, and they offer good ice grip even though they have no studs.
I bought these for my Lexus replacing latitudes, went to Lexus got an alignment, put it on the road to Tennessee probably 4-500 ish miles one way. They were pretty grippy on the back roads, but highway driving was just to loud for me. So I took them back within the 1000 mile guarantee, when I got back from Tennessee and got a new set of latitudes. They are good tires for sure but they are also directional tires so that's where you get the bit of road noise. But they do have hella grip.
When I had those tires mounted on my 3, they wore extremely rapidly - so much so that the rep at Discount Tire was surprised.
