Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia

I am very impressed with the battlecross x30's. They are very consistent and predictable. I've been getting great traction which isn't surprising but what did surprise me was the tread life. This tire has lasted like a champ for me.

My Bridgestone Ecopia tires (on it from the dealer) have a surprisingly high amount of grip.

Bridgestone's have been amazing for me. Quiet, great traction in all weathers, and good tread wear. A little stiffer than other tires maybe but I prefer the handling anyway.

I'm on my 4th set of blizzaks, and the new ws-80 are a huge improvement over previous versions. The older tires were terrible on dry/rain with a mushy feel. The WS-80 drive much more like an all-season. I drive aggressively, and these are very confidence inspiring no matter what the road surface is like. I took them out on snow/ice/slush for the first time last weekend and they were fantastic, not a single hiccup on the way to Mt. Hood Meadows.

Best tire recommendation.... Get your self some Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Pluses for this bad boy and you'll be cruising in comfort.

I have Nokian WRG3 18's on my S3. They are traction rated so I can use them up in the mountains without chains but are also rated for \"year round\" use (with a mileage rating!) so they don't wear as quickly in typical Portland, OR winter weather (wet and just above freezing). So I use those Nov-April and my 19's the rest of the year. I'm pretty happy with the overall feel and noise level of the tires.

I put the Potenza RE 760 Sport (non all season tire) and I love its performance in wet and dry. It amazed me with the amount of cornering grip. Also, not noisy, and seems to be wearing very well.

I chase PNW storms in a FWD econobox w/blizzaks. No reason to go with studs.

Blizzaks or x-ice 2 are the way to go IMO. They will wear faster but provide superior performance compared to a cheaper studded tire.

I have the Bridgestone Potenza's that came with my car. I complained about road noise at 5000 miles and VW said "all the GTI's are like that". Then it got louder. So now the car has 16,000 miles on it. It sounds like a 747 is approaching the runway. I will NEVER purchase a Bridgestone product in the future. Anyone else have issues with the Bridgestone Potenza
