Tires BRIDGESTONE or Achilles

I have bridgestone winterforce. I like them. They may be a bit aggressive and therefor a little more noisy then other winter tires. But depending on how deep of snow you drive in it makes a difference. Some other winter tires are geared for better on road winter performance. But overall I like them and I have definitely taken them in deep snow on unplowed dirt roads.

I've had Blizzaks, the WS60 that are out of date now, but they were pretty great. Awesome snow traction, great dry handling considering they were snow tires, and very quite.

So far (300 miles) I have noticed the following; 1. Bridgestone tires seem to have more wet grip than the Kuhmo's

I've pushed those achilles so hard and there is still practically no wear! still trying to make these fit proper, some more fender rolling is needed.

My car came with the Toyos and they lasted one summer, in the winter I run Blizzaks. Summer 2012 and 2013 I ran Potenza RE-11s. These has spent 3 weekends at Tail of the Dragon in that time and still have tread left on them to get me into next season and they are stickier than the Toyo Proxes and about $100 per tire cheaper.

Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport. I had a set on my previous car. Low noise and great handling.

If you get some Bridgestone Serenity tires, the road noise isn't nearly as bad.

I'm personally very happy with my Bridestone Pole Position RE960AS tires. (Way better than the Goodyear Eagle LS's the car came with) They withstood several trips to the track this summer, and seriously outperformed anyone there when it was wet out.

2015 MK7-R purchased June 2015, now has 6900 miles with Bridgestone (130 Treadwear-RIDICULOUS), rotated at 6500 at Discount tire, 7/32 in front and 8/32 in the rear. Mostly city driving, only 4.5 miles to work.

My first snow tire purchase was a set of Blizzak WS-50s and I just couldn't deal with the squirmy feel for the amount of true snow/ice driving I encounter in a season.
