Really bad and expensive. I guess Nokian is better with winter tires than with summer ones..

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 rated 79% while driving a Subaru XV Crosstrek
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 average miles
I have had these tires since around October and have driven 6000km on them. Coming off of some Toyo proxes I noticed they are a little quieter and fuel economy has improved. tread out of the factory was 6.8mm and they are down to 6mm now.

They feel sure-footed in the wet and dry. Living in Japan, these have seen from around 30C to -10C. Ive driven a lot over this winter on mountain roads to access local ski resorts and they've performed well. However I did notice them slipping out more when compared with other cars which 9/10 will be on Bridgestone blizzaks or Yokohama Ice Guard. I could not keep up anywhere near the kind of speeds of a Toyota Crown Police car on the windy switchbacks in the mountains. I found them slipping out at 40km/h on dusty snow (light, perhaps frozen underneath) In just around freezing.
Other times in deeper slushy snow or fresh, they felt more comfortable (50km/h OK).
Two sets of wheels/tires isn't an option for me as I live in an apartment. These seemed like the best compromise. At the time of purchase they were about 30% less than Michelin Crossclimate 2. If the price were closer, I would've gone for the Michelin simply for their longer wear.

Doing around 8000-10k km a year I expect 3 years out of the set (fingers crossed). Perhaps they'd last longer, but surely their winter performance would suffer.

Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive rated 86% while driving a Mitsubishi Outlander
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
I have only had the tires for about 2 weeks now, but they are amazing compared to the previous tires that were installed (Hankook Kinergy ST). I would almost liken it to being "glued" to the road. Dry grip is great especially on colder roads, I am still waiting for the snow to melt here to determine wet grip. Generally I feel slightly more isolated from the road, as the in-car noise is quite a bit lower than my previous tires, along with seeing about a 15% increase in fuel economy, which was surprising given the increased tread depth compared to my previous tires. I was not overly concerned about snow/ice grip as I was initially planning on purchasing a separate set of winter wheels/tires but with the performance of these tires I may not have to. I cannot speak to the wear on the tires as I have only put on about 1000 miles since install, but with a 60,000 mile tread-wear warranty I would imagine they will have a decent wear rate.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro rated 10% while driving a Subaru 2.0 Crosstrek
Driving on mostly country roads for 30 easy going miles
This is a final update to me review from a long time ago. In the end I am very disappointed with the short life of the tire. After 30.000 kms of using it on a light AWD suv with easy driving, no towing, with rotations every 5k kms, proper inflation, these tires are down to a hair above 3mm. Because I drive a lot in Austria where for 5 winter months tires must be at least a 4mm deep, it is time to retire them in the middle of the winter. Otherwise, they have performed well and are in the good shape with an even wear. I have them on another Subaru but with only 20.000 kms on the clock they are OK. I will not get them again. In fact the replacement is Nexen N'blue 4season 2. Promises to be as good as Vredestein but should last much longer. (If I only drove in Germany where there are no 4mm restrictions they would probably lasted through the Summer and another 5k kms.

i-Link Multimatch AS rated 75% while driving a Hyundai ix35
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
First time I’ve tried a budget all season tire and I’ve been impressed. Handled the January snow and ice without issue. Can’t comment on tread wear as haven’t had them long enough but outside of that they are a good value tire.

Really decided on these tires via the Mitsubishi Outlander forums. Big improvement over the stock tires on car, I was looking for less noise and these tires certainly are quieter.

Falken Ziex ZE001 AS rated 52% while driving a Subaru XV Crosstrek
Driving on mostly town for 10000 average miles
I don't know why Subaru put this on their Canada bound Crosstreks. There are much better tires available at this price point. Especially considering how pour they are in the snow. I would not recommend them anywhere where it falls below 0 C. They are not at all good in the snow and slush, I have used all season tires that performed much better than these. Even after 15 000 km I am noticing that these tires are wearing fast.

Kormoran Suv Summer rated 91% while driving a Subaru Forester
Driving on mostly motorways for 28000 average miles
it was cheap and affordable. in first sight i didnt have to much expectations. But i like that tire, because it didnt wear at all. If you re a family driver not formula 1, it will totaly make you satisfied.

Westlake ZuperAce Z 007 rated 89% while driving a Peugeot 3008 1,5 Diesel
Driving on a combination of roads for 18000 average miles
These Westlake ZuperAce Z 007 tires were on the car (2017 Peugeot 3008 1.6 Diesel) when I bought it 18 months ago and they were put on by the garage when the car was put up for sale. I didn't recognise the brand so I thought I would soon be changing them as they were obviously budget tires. However, I couldn't have been more wrong. They were comfortable, quiet and I really had no problem with grip either in the wet or dry. They also seemed to cope well in standing water. I've now done 18000 miles and I reckon I'll just about get another 2000 miles from them. I would like to get a bit more than 20000 miles from tires as I'm not a boy racer anymore, but the fact that they only cost just over half the price of a decent premium tire I'll be going for them again very shortly.

Amazing tires. Absolute champions in the wet, great handling in the dry, sporty feel. Matched up with an FWD SUV vehicle you will not have any problems. One thing of note, they are less sporty in the dry than the original summer tires.
