My last were XZXz over Tiger Paws (crap).  My beetle
has Jupiters, which are actually quite good.  Once
upon a time I had Klebers, but they weren't anything
special.

Ranking, from my personal experience:

1) XZX - bought from Costco in 2001 or so.  Good tread
wear, good wet road grip, quiet. ($200 for a set)
2) Jupiters - were on the car.  good tread wear,
decent wet road grip, quiet
3) Klebers - wore a bit faster, okay on wet roads,
quiet. (they were on the car)
100)  Tiger Paws -  Don't don't don't buy them  The
suck really, really bad.  Wander, wear poorly,
squishy, no pretty.  They were quiet, though. ($15ea,
slightly used)
