Tires BFGoodrich or Firestone

Another vote for the Firestone Winterforce tires... Michigan's Upper Peninsula, with LOTS of snow, and I travel the entire area. Most of what we get is snow, minimal ice, and after experimenting with several different brands we go back to the Winterforce every time.

That being said if you're looking for cheap NEW winter tires, Firestone Winterforce tires are fantastic. They're kind of loud, but they work great.

I run 255/40-17 tires on all four corners of my Honda S2000 track day car. I wanted to be able to use those on the R, so I had Adaptec make custom adapters: 15mm thick in front, 25mm thick for the rear. On them I have a set of Hankook RS-3s 255/40-17, a set of Nitto NT01s (same size) and a set of BFG Comp 2 A/S 245/45-17 (my all season go anywhere tires used on the R as a daily driver). I am at stock ride height and none of these tires ever rub.

I was in the same boat and I decided to roll with the BF Goodrich g-force comp 2 A/S tires. So far they're awesome and I have no complaints after about a month.

I recently went through this with my 2012 Passat with 18s on it. I decided to try something different. I did the BF Goodrich Comp 2 A/S tires. Very reasonably priced, Z rated, and has extremely good ratings for dry, wet and snow. So far I am very pleased.

i run firestone transforce a/t's on my cummins and theyre great tires IMO. no compaints about them from me and they do great in the snow. a few guys over at plowsite run them too and no major complaints. grandpa runs mastercraft on his plow truck and they hold up very well too he had them on his 08 passat too and they were good tires.

Firestone Firehawk Indy Wide Oval 500. Dirt cheap 95$ (225/40/18XL). Great performance for the money. And you can afford to destroy them.

If you can afford it I suggest BFG. Michelin bought them, kept their price structure, but imposed Michelin quality controls on production.

I ended up with the firestones. I know they are not the best winter tire but I'd take them over an A/T in the winter. I got my moneys worth the day I put them on because we got a decent "wet" snow storm and the main road out of our neighborhood was closed do to an accident as usual. I had to take a alternate rout which is a steep curvy 1 lane road and I was one of the few to make it all they way out without spending time in the ditch or guardrails.

I've run the PSS and I have the 500's on my 135 as throwaway summers. They're soft and comfortable and grip OK... but they're numb and greasy at the same time. Very Meh tire.
