Lotus Proton GEN2 Persona Tyres

Bought a set of A4's last year - so new then that Michelin UK had'nt yet listed them on their website. Car is a good-handling mid-size 1.6 family saloon and I had these fitted to an old set of 6x15" alloy wheels for convenience.
Chose a modest width to help with traction/rim stability and deeper sidewalls to help the ride comfort/ground clearence.
These tyres have proven a sound investment. As good as you could hope for in the snowy/slushy stuff and confidence-inspiring in more usual wet conditions. As usual with Michelins, the wear rates are very low, I expect these to last at least 3 cold seasons
- but an unexpected bonus was the slightly quieter ride these offer over the mid-range summer tyres normaly fitted.
Rolling resistance is higher of course, but fuel economy only suffers about 3% and the trade-off in extra grip and safety is well worth it.

Proton's 'comfort-biased' choice on this family saloon, fitted on mine when new. Generaly OK and quieter than the GY NCT5 often specified as an alterative, although they can rumble on washboard surfaces. Not at all bad and have lasted well so far, but no strong reason for me to choose over a better/more expensive option when the time comes.
