Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear

Normally I'd say to stick with Bridgestone Blizzak, Pirelli Sottozero 3, Michellin X-Ice 3, or Continental WinterContact Si's... But $200 for a slightly used set on wheels that fit your car? Can't really go wrong there.

I second all the Blizzak comments. Ran LM32s on several high power RWD cars with solid traction in the dry and able to get my Mustang and Jag around in snow just fine if it wasnt touching the undercarriage.

The LM32s had more dry traction than the factory all seasons on my Veloster Turbo.

Continental Extreme Contact for winter and Goodyear Eagle Sport all season. Was expecting to remove the seasonal tires but have not done so in last 2 years. Seventy percent highway/ thirty city. Very good tire in snow and ice. Was not expecting that. Benefits: gas mileage up about 50km per tank, better handling on pavement (less mushy on highway) due to less sipes in tread. Great handling less body roll, crisp cornering.

Conti DW is a good tire. A bit soft of a sidewall so some vague response. Bridgestone Potenza s04 pole position is better. Better response. Good in wet and good life. Closest to a Michelin Pilot super sport you'll get. Tire Rack rated it a close 2nd if I remember right. I have had both on my M3. I'd get the Bridgestone again, have them now.

Bought new tires - Bridgestone Potenza RE002 205/50R16. Yeah, it is not stance size, but I'm very bored of driving my static low Corrado with low profile tyres, and would like to enjoy the driving R36 engine without slow down before every pit

I have Firestone Winterforce tires on 15" Forester wheels for the winter set and Goodyear Assurance all seasons on 16" impreza wheels for summer tires.

Goodyear Supercar 3 needs the most heat. The stickiest of the three. Good trackable street tire.

I worked at Goodyear for 3 years and you are partially correct. Their quality isn't bad across the board, it is just not consistent. Some are great and last way longer than they should while others are just junk. I had 2 Ultra Grip Winters blow out on me a few hours apart (2 days after they were mounted).

Do it!!! I hate all the crap that my Eagle F1DSG3 spit up... god i hate those tires... if i didnt get em for free...
