Tires BRIDGESTONE or WEST LAKE

Mine are quiet (but then, im comparing to a corolla on 19's...)

I eventually chose Turanza EV tires, which cost $1433 installed at Discount Tires in Portland, OR.

The Turanzas did not get off to a good start with me because they were inefficient: I was getting about 310 Wh/m. I called D Tires to discuss them and their sales guy said to drive them for 1k miles to break them in and then re-consider whether I was happy with my purchase.

I followed this advice which turned out to be good advice. At 1K miles, the Wh/m has dropped to about 280 Wh/M. The noise level from the tires has all but disappeared. These guys are quiet. The quality of the ride is just what I like: firm but not harsh.

The best winter tires I’ve ever driven with are Bridgestone Blizzak

I have blizzaks 225/60R18 on aftermarket rims. Have been very happy with them in the past. We get lots of snow and live on a farm. Have gone through 2 winters.

Everyone says they're mid but I've yet to lose any sort of traction wet or dry. And I've tried.

have previously tried pilot support 4 but they didn't quite work as well on my car on initial turn in and wore a bit faster but both tyres are amazing in all conditions.

I'm happy with them so far, but they do wear faster.

Bridgestone WeatherPeak is fine, but it's one of the most expensive tires, and Tire Rack's testing shows it wasn't that good.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Westlake tires. I worked with a guy who bought 4 for his cruze, and man, they were scary in anything but warm, dry pavement.

Ran the blizzaks through 4-6 inches of snow and was barely making it through that. I never had less confidence in the snow than on those WS80 blizzaks. They were almost worse than the Sotozorro 3’s I had on my R two winters ago. Those I’ll excuse those because they were at least OK in the dry, otherwise they were pretty terrible in anything but light snow.
