Tires BRIDGESTONE or WEST LAKE

I basically encounter the same conditions in winter as you do. After having driven many years on winter tyres (Dunlop Winter Sport 5), I switched over to an all-season (Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6).

The benefits in my opinion are better responsiveness while turning in (less block movement of the thread) and the better longevity of the tyre, considering it has to somewhat withstand 30°C+ temperatures by design.

Mine came with the potenza s005. The performance was great but the tire wore out with just 8k miles. To give some prospective, I replaced them with Michelin PS4S and at 6k miles they still measure 7/32 from the factory 9/32. The PS4S provided similar grip levels too.

Mine came with Hankook which didn't even last a tank of gas before I put new rims/tires on which made a HUGE difference. Ended up going with Bridgestone Sports which compete with the Michelin PS4S. Never have looked back. Great tire and really transformed the handling of the car.

Mine came w the Bridgestones - Potenza S0005 - they are excellent. Grip is so good that w UHP all seasons on the difference in grip is really noticeable - this car has such high limits/power that the difference is significant. Yes, the Bridgestones are noisy, especially on the highway.

I used to have BT-023s, unlike many here I thought they were fine (and better than the BT-021s I had before). But yeah, *looooong* warm-up time...

I have BT023s on my old Triumph, on my second set now and my choice is extremely limited due to the rare tyre size it has! Never had any problems with them, rode through last winter on them and they were 100%.

The winter sw606 are actually really good winter tires. Somebody mentioned Florida so maybe that's where you are, but I'm in canada and I'm on my third set of westlake winter tires lol they're boss for snow.

I ran them on my ZX6R up to a fast advanced group pace. Once past that, they started getting a little loose in the turns. It was pretty obvious, nothing surprising, so I had plenty of warning that I was at the limit of the tire.

I have a set from when I bought some new wheels and these things are loud. They sound and feel hard as I am driving a sedan but feel as if I’m driving a jeep. I hear all of the road noise.

These tires are awful on my car. They're not performance tires by an means. They're meant to be driven and babied like a granny. In snow, you'd have to drive 30 km/hr or else it'll start sliding. In rain, it'll hydroplane after 90 km/hr. And in dry condition, it's adequate but loud on highways.
