    My Bitdi had Yokohama's on when I picked it up and i thought they were brilliant in all weathers (didnt get a chance to try in snow), when they needed changing the only ones that were available at the time were the Pirelli P zeros and I hated them, with the p zeros I had my first loss of traction on a fast corner, which was scary. I wore those out and I am now back to Yokohama advan sports and they are back to being really good.

    a lot of this discussion is down to personal preference and how you drive the car. 255,35,r20's by the way.

    We switched to Goodyear Vector Gen 4's earlier this year for the Allroad and they seem fine. Obviously in the current weather they are great, but even over the summer they were good and are pretty quiet too.
    My only negative is that they can feel a little 'vague' at elevated motorway speeds, not scary just a little less precise than on summer tyres.

    Need all 4 and my BiTdi is a bit strange in that it’s an SE and wears 225 55 17’s.

    I've got a 2016 SE Executive, 225/55R17, and I am now at my second set of Michelin Primacy 4. I am getting about 35k off a set, rotating the wheels regularly. I do normal driving, motorway, rural and city in about equal measures, and I am very happy with them. I don't drive sporty, still they are solid, reassuring, and predictable.
