Just put a set of Toys AT3 on my new 2022 Ford F150. Got $50 a piece on factory take offs. Had the At2 on my former truck. So far they are excellent in snow. Also just got a fresh replacement set of GY Adventure Kevlar's on my work truck. They are also excellent. Got 43,000 on the first set and they were replaced at around 5/32nds. Nod o the AT3 in snow but like both. The GY ride rougher.
Got a set of 285/70/17 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s from Big O Tires today, to go with a 2" lift they installed. Tires were $911.00 OTD.
I just bought 4 Toyo Celsius for the Outback to replace the crap Sumitomo ice skates that were on the car.
(4) new Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires for the Lincoln MKC. It has the optional 20 inch rims, so tire selection seems a bit more limited. Had Toyo Proxes Sport AS on before and they turned out to be so so at best. Very jittery ride. So far the Pilot Sport AS are much more refined and handle great. Hope they wear as nicely as all of my other Michelins have..

Just ordered a set of General Gmax AS-05s for the wife's Jetta....205/55/16. Gone through two sets of Hankook Ventus S1noble2 on this car with satisfactory results, but opted to try something different.
I'll be snagging a pair Michelin PS4S for the back end of the Stinger in a couple weeks.

4 Michelin 235/55/20 102H tour tires on 20x8" +50mm offset wheels that came attached to a 2022 Acadia SLE 3.6L.
In 5 months when the first flake of snow hits the ground, those tires won't get the car out of the driveway.
I measured 17mm of clearance between the front tires and inner fenders at full crank, so there is very little room for larger tires or more negative offset wheels.
3PMS tires are manditory, or might as well be on BC mountain pass highways.
I'm not totally sold on directional tires, but I did have a couple sets of Hankook RW-11s that were very good.
I'm considering 245/50/20 105H Nitto Nomads on 20x8.5" +40mm offset wheels. Maybe 20x9", which puts the wheel at 94% of the tire's width.
Another tire on my short list is Toyo's AT III.

Michelin Defenders for my van, they will be replacing the same tires with about 70k and 6 years on them.
I have the same tires on all 3 of our vehicles, have been very happy with them and will continue buying them for as long as they make them.

Bought 4 MasterCraft Stratus for my sisters car. They can’t really afford much right now so we got them for them. I personally would not ever run them on my car but it’s what my parents said to buy for them so that’s what I got. They are decent just I don’t cheap out on tires for my stuff. Needless to say they were a huge improvement over the very worn out Dextero tires that were on it when they bought the car.

How well do / did these perform ?
You will have to tell us how they work! They look good and flippable as well?
She did mention that they seem to handle wet roads better. She said that when she hits puddles in the road during a downpour, it didn’t seem to disrupt the car as much as it did with the Cooper’s that were on before.
I’ve only driven her car a couple of times since putting them on and I like the way they feel. They do seem to be planted a little better through curves than the Cooper’s if that makes any sense.
I can’t state anything on wear at this point as she’s only 6 months in and just over 5,000 miles.
