Tires BRIDGESTONE or Cooper

They performed admirably, especially for the price. To my ears they were quieter than the factory Dunlops, and they definitely lasted longer. I replaced them after around 45,000 miles (~72,000 km since I see you are a northern neighbor) because of a sidewall bubble, but that was courtesy of a massive pothole rather than any sort of defect. There was still tread life remaining.

Studded Cooper discoverer snowclaws not much to look at but excellent traction on snow and ice

I just got a set of CrossClimate 2, it feels like an upgrade from oem bridgestone run flats. Pretty comfy.

I got rid of the run flats on my '14 R60. I put 1 size larger Bridgestone Potenza's on it to help with road vibration. The first set lasted just over 60k miles and I ordered my second set about 5 months ago

Winter tires did great for our first major snowfall. Bridgestone Blizzak WS90.

I just got a set of the new RE71RS and they were great for the one day I ran them. My times were on par with a set of old maxxis rc1 slicks.

Stock tires from 2023 Golf R, the car was delivered on 1/20/23 with 7 miles on the odometer and I put on another 20 miles to the tire shop to swap them for all-seasons. Tires are like new with less than 30 miles.

Easily, Coopers. Ran the AT3 on my last truck (Silverado). Had right at 58,000 miles on them when I sold the truck with plenty of life left on the tires.

RS11s are indeed not very popular. This is the case because it sits in between the S22 and the R11 which are both great tires while the RS11 doesn't offer the best of both worlds.

Two and a half winters. Rotated twice. All four tires are ruined. I would have never noticed it if I hadn't had seen that shiny upper control arm.
