Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear

Continental or Michelin, all season or summer tires. Bridgestone Blizzak for winters. Never had anything else.

Michelin X-Ice if you can afford them, otherwise I swear by the Goodyear Nordics as the best affordable option and even what I prefer myself over the X-Ice.

For snow tires Blizzaks are remarkable but they are soft/squishy. Since Denver gets warm and sunny frequently during the winter, if it's only car I wouldn't get these if the intent is to leave them on for the season - performance and handling aren't, and wear is

I like Bridgestone. Never had Goodyears, but I would only get them for specialty purposes (racing, off-roading), not all-year regular passenger car tires.

I like my Blizzaks. They've gotten me through some dicey whiteouts and snow storms.

I had Duratracs on my Tacomas when I lived in the Denver area. They were reliable on and off road and handled well in all conditions. They were a little noisy when they wore down, but what 33's arent'?

Wife and son drive Blizzaks - she on her 4Runner here in New England; son who lives in Denver and does a ton of snowboarding (Jetta). Both very happy with them.

We have Blizzaks WS90s on our CX5. They were on our Highlander before that. This will be season four on them and they will be replaced because of age, not wear. I love the Blizzaks and will buy them again for sure. Great ride, great grip in all conditions, and surprising longevity.

Noisier than my KO2s, but not unbearably so.

Asymmetric 2's, not the A/S version. I've driven the A/S version in rain and was underwhelmed with those too. At least in heavy rain, I wouldn't want them--that's based on only one experience, but they were at least 8/32's and were not impressive.
