Michelin Pilot Sport A/S +. Third car I've put them on. Also with Michelin Roadside Assistance that they provide you really can't go wrong.

Since many tire brands and even the treads and rubber formulations are regional....As are the needs of the user....a user in North Dakota or Wisconsin expects different things from THEIR tires than a user in Florida of California.... I see you are in Greece...
Not sure that folks in the USA/Canada/MEXICO might have to add...not even sure which part of the us has similar climate and rain/snowfall....

I had the Continental Extreme Contacts on another vehicle i owned and while they were very good tires when new, they did not last very long. And once the "D" layer wore away they weren't much good in the light snow. I ended up switching them out for a set of Michelin Pilot Sports and noticed an improvement in durability/ride and equal grip. Does the OP get any snow in Greece?

I'm very close to choose the Michelin pilot sport. I live next to the Mediterranean Sea and we don't have snow here, only once in 4-5 years.

definitely my favorite tires. The amount of grip in the rain is fantastic. And they have a fairly nice and quite ride as well. I can't imagine how great they would be on an ALL4!
