Last winter I made the switch from studded Pirelli Winter Carvings to studless Bridgestone Blizzak WS60s... I was extremely impressed with them. Worked great in the white stuff.
Owner reviews for tires
I've run Dunlop Wintersport 3D's for going on 4 years. They're great in snow aswell as just on cold pavement.
I have the Hankook iPikes on my Prius and am very happy with them. I've run Michelin Arctic Alpins, Cooper Weathermasters (twice), Firestone Winterforce, Gislaved, and Nokian Haka2's. Each had very minor pros and cons but honestly I didn't find much of a real difference between any of them including the Hakka's which cost twice what the others costs.
Best bang for buck = General Altimax Arctic. It's outright won several winter tire comparisons (where a certain Nokian wasn't entered) and still was one of the cheapest entrants.
i have 19x8's up front and 19x9.5's in the back, 215/35/19 yokohama s.drives all around. i've taken it up to about 135 mph so far and its super smooth.
We ditched the OEM Bridgestone Dueler HT 684II which is the worst tire on the road today with some Michelin Energy LX4s at around 50k, and that made a hige difference in sound, handling, and ride comfort.
On my Passat 4Motion, I replaced a set of Michelin Exaltos with the HPs. To my butt, there wasn't much noticeable difference between them. For the price difference, I'd go with the Generals again hands down.
I have the potenza pole position tires on my jetta and I will be getting a new set of the potenza tires come spring they handle wear and ride great for my jetta.
I had 245/40-17's Kumho MX's on my WRX and they were okay, but didn't have the ultimate grip of the Falkens.
these tires ride like ****. obviously. and your roads are no worse than anyone elses.
