Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear

I've been swapping out my tires every November-April for Blizzaks. Proper winter tires are totally worth it though. A WRX with winter tires is a beautiful thing.

A set of 17's and Blizzaks will work wonders in snow/ice conditions ...

When you do your full set next year, the Hankook Ion or Goodyear ElectricDrive feel way better on EVs than the OEM Michelins in my experience.

I had my last winter with my F80 last year, and used Blizzaks on staggered 18” wheels. Never let me down through the shitty Canadian snow.

I have the Goodyear assurance tires rated for 85k miles and so far they’ve been great

I've been pleased with the Goodyear ElectricDrive 2. Very quiet and smooth riding.

I was considering the blizzak6 which are available in my size for both front and rear but might be overkill for most of the rest of the winter and likely counterproductive, so figured all seasons might be for the best. Choice of all season tyres is very limited, especially for the rear size, pretty much down to All season contact 2s but there’s a lot of feedback online about how they don’t feel particularly responsive on the front when steering which has me a bit concerned, so was thinking maybe of going cross climate 3 sports on the front and all season contact 2 at the back.

I have Turanza AS6 for two years and ~24k km. I quite like them. Maybe the winter performance is not extraordinary, but good enough. Wear is surprisingly low so far. Comfort is average.

Triple Treds dry rot in 2 years anyway

I had the Bridgestones on my Mk7.5 GTI and was very unhappy with them. When it was time to change tires (after only 12,000 miles) I went with the Michelin PSAS4 I was blown away by how much better they were.
