I recently went through this with my 2012 Passat with 18s on it. I decided to try something different. I did the BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S tires. Very reasonably priced, Z rated, and has extremely good ratings for dry, wet and snow. So far I am very pleased.
Have a set of Antera 343 18" wheels for sale. They have Pirelli P Zero Nero tires on them I'm selling these personally Tires quite new, under 5k miles on the wheels and tires.
It is pretty good with snow tires. Sometimes I disable ASR AND ESC so the car under steers less. But it is a huge improvement over my MK VI with snows.
being an Audi Technician I would say Conti Pro or Cross Contacts, or Pirelli P7 due to their even wear and descent grip on crappy weather.
They've offered just as much snow/ice traction as the Blizzaks that I had previously used but it's the wet and dry weather traction where the Pirellis really shine and that's really important to me since the roads are mainly dry in the winter unless you venture up to the mountains.
I believe those were what I had on a Mustang GT. I know they were Pirelli P Zeros but can't remember any more specifics. They were great tires. Had 30k miles on them when I traded in the car and they still had quite a bit of life left.
I have been running the P7AS Plus for over 20k and they are still smooth, quiet and excellent handling. Zero complaints with these tires.
I haven't had any issues with vibration, but have noticed more road noise on my Pirellis after 20 K. Probably won't get another set.
I have Pirelli P4's... I love the tread warranty - expecting that I'll get 9,000 miles out of them. But I find that I'm losing traction more often than I'd like when I accelerate, and make turns.
Similar story: a lovely pothole seemingly gave me a flat (felt really jarring) on one of my Pirelli Sottozero 3s. Was flat within 10 minutes...Turns out the pothole actually cracked the rim (which caused the flat) and then the short time I drove on it mostly flat, had ruined the sidewall on the tire as well.
