I just replaced the stock Michelins with a set of these Ultra High Performance All Season tires.
I am very much aware that just about any tire would be better than those for traction but...Whoah... the traction & grip are light years ahead!
The steering response & cornering is excellent.
Tire noise is no worse than what the stockers were.
If anything...maybe slightly less noisy.
In the rain they are awesome too.
No snow here yet, but last year I couldn't even get my car out of its parking spot after shoveling it out down to pavement. I had to wait a couple days for the snow to completely melt. I expect I wont have this problem again.
No regrets here.
