I swapped out my Potenza's in favour of year round all seasons - I went for Pirelli's new PZero AS Plus 3s. The grip in moderate temperatures (wet & dry) so far has been fantastic, they do have a bit of a high pitched whine to them in the wet though.
I just went from $20 chain reaction tires to new pirelli pzero race 4s tires. They are better in every way: faster, lighter, quieter, better ride, look better.
I've got Pirelli Scorpions on my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They were recommended by a friend who uses his for mostly on-road with some occasional snow and light off-road work. They're amazingly quiet on the highway and grip nicely
Pirelli Angel GT/GT2 works great in everything from 32°C/90°F in Italy to below freezing on dry roads and near freezing in rain in Norway.
I've used Nexen from South Korea and found it very decent compared to Chinese ones which can be noisy.
Nexen tires are massively better in quality and value. I trust Nexen not only with my life, but put them on two of my kids vehicles when they went away to college in the Dakotas (extreme climate variation and brutal winters). Right now we have three vehicles on Nexen tires. In general, Nexen tires are not only worth the money, but they give more value for the price than most tires... They are not the "best" tire out there, but they are a good, quality tire that punches way above their price point.
You can pick up used Pirellis from GT Americas. If you've never been to the Nashville race people haul away tires from the Pirelli tent all the time.
I've had them on a different car and work with cars so have been around them plenty. Personally am not a fan, but they are a decent all around warmer weather tire
I had P-Zeros but they were shocking in cold/damp weather, depends on your geography but if it’s going to drop below 5 degrees C, then don’t get them.
I had Nexen tires put on for the first time a couple years ago and had 2 punctures within a week of each other last year and just today one completely blew out. They were cheap but I probably wouldn't buy them again.
