Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear

I have Bridgestones in my GTI in 17s with 215/50r17 and obviously don't feel as sporty as 19s but they're great for winter.

The Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2 won Tire Rack's first place overall rating last year. The weaknesses of this tire are noise and fuel economy, and even in those areas, their performance is above average. Excellent heat/cold, wet/dry/snow performances on track and on skid pad testing.

The Rav4 with these tires did a fantastic job on snowy interstate, and through snow-covered Berkshire mountain uppy/downy roads with multiple inches of snow on them. My biggest complaint is the sensor warnings stopping me from being able to monitor AWD activity on the dash. Otherwise no complaints and significantly increased confidence in inclement winter weather.

Kelly Safari A/T. Made by Goodyear. I got load range E for rock climbing but also comes in C. 3peaks snow rated. My second set. My used FJ came with a set on it. Rides great on the highway too.

I like Goodyear Assurance. But I'm only one person! I do avoid Kumho tires - I hated them on my car.

Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrak

I promise you they are the smoothest, quietest, and best all around for daily driving

Replaced all four tires recently with Bridgestone terenza as I got a deal at Costco.

Tires are quiet and all that but my efficiency has dropped. With continental an average wh/mi was 210-240, same with Bridgestone is 270-300.

I like Blizzaks, been using them for over 15yrs. I tried the X-ice last year and am kind of disappointed in them for snow performance. They are great otherwise.

I got Goodyear Reliants and absolutely regretted. By far the loudest tires I've ever had.

I had a nail in my tire with a very slow leak and went to a random tire shop. They did a crappy plug that was not designed for the Elite's self healing tires so I ended up with a very FAST leak instead.
