Tires BRIDGESTONE or SUMITOMO

Bridgestone Turanza Quiettracks. Rock. (A huge improvement vs OEM Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires.) Based on my past experience with this and other Michelin tires, not entirely sold on the Michelin brand.

I've been driving all types of vehicles on all types of tires for more than 50 years. The two best value tires I ever owned were Douglas (identical tread and design as my original Pirelli P77's) on an AWD Volkswagon Quantum and a set of Bridgestone Turanzas on a Mitsubishi Diamante (smooth and quiet as driving on glass). Both of these tires gave me over 52,000 miles of excellent service.

I just bought Bridgestone Alenza for my Lexus NX300h

If you see snow, the Weatherpeaks are top notch, almost all my suvs and sedans have them. They're no sport tire but a great all-weather. Noise is great, mpg stayed about the same.

I’ve been really happy with Battlax S22s on all my bikes. New S23s came out not long ago and have good reviews as well.

Brigdestone Potenza RE980 a/s. Silent and comfortable, enough grip and tread wear to last more than 2 summers.

We purchased the Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra tires a few years ago from Costco and have been very pleased with our purchase. I can recommend them.

I’ve driven a wide variety of winter tires. Bridgestone, GoodYear, Firestone, Cooper, Michelin, Continental, and one or two others. Some were quieter, some were better on ice, some were better in deep snow. None were terrible. If you go with major brand names, that are not much over 5 years old, you should be ok.

I stopped buying bridgestone when my blizzaks was down to 50% tread after one winter.

I'm not a fan of Blizzaks because I find they're no where near as good in the 2nd/3rd+ season as they wear.
