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 put pilot sport 4s on my 2014 GT and love them. I stayed away from the run flats and they provide great feedback.
I have had a few cars with continental extreme contacts and loved them. I have a 23 Mach 1 that came with Pilot 4S tires, they are simply amazing. They grip the road like glue and there is zero chatter when cornering hard. I would definitely go with the 4S.
I put Michelin cross climate 2’s on. Love them. Great grip in all seasons. I also don’t hydroplane anymore. And they have a high mile warranty.
I put Nitto Motivos on my 15 limited and they feel great. Nice grip
The Michelin Defender 2 is an excellent low rolling resistance tire, though expensive.
Back when I was in college (2001) there was a guy in my class who tested tires in a lab. This was around the time Ford SUV's would flip over, thanks Firestone. He said he would test tires at high speed, different weighs, and tire pressures to test longevity. I asked him which tires were best. He said he couldn't tell me because of confidentiality laws. I asked him which tires he puts on his wife's minivan, and he said he would *only* put Michelin tires on his wife's car.
Michelin are fantastic, but super loud, especially after 15k miles.
The best I've had are the Dunlop Direzza Star Specs (I and II) for summer. For winter ofcourse the Bridgestone Blizzak WS90s for the Michigan winters. I've had a set of Kumho Ecsta MX's and they weren't bad either, but the worst by far were the MICHELIN PRIMACY all-seasons. Noisy, tread lasted less than 20k miles and obviously it's unsafe to wait until 2/32" so not even replaceable under warranty (which claims 80k miles treadwear ....pfft). Never again.
