Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE

I've had no issues with mine; grip for days. Not sure what better ride would refer to. I don't think they're overly noisy, by any means.

A really popular tire is the Michelin cross climate 2. But I think they prioritize snow and rain performance. Nevertheless, I have them on my work car and my brother on their pilot and both seem like a nice ride.

Those are absolutely amazing tires because they grip so well in the winter plus they handle like sporty high performance tires on winding mountain roads.

After a massive blowout on 422 here in PA a few months back, and having HUGE bubbles in the sidewalls of two other tires and a large gash (no idea where this came from) of the spare that went on, I replaced all four with a set of Bridgestone RE980 AS+'s. What a difference in the way the car rides and grips. You can feel the Bridgestone's handle the bumps SO much better than the stock Conti's and there's much more grip.

I lived in Boston for a while and i used blizzak tires. They worked well.

The previous owners kept the brakes flushed and the oil changed right on schedule. It had a water pump at replaced at 70k, spark plugs at 60k(getting time for that again), and the normal 80k service with the rear end inspected and new fluid. It has some Michelin Pilots with most of the tread left.

I like the Michelin defenders, pretty good in all elements and lasts about 70k.

Folks liked those Michelins very much, generally.

I've had sidewall bubbles after pothole impacts on two previous low profile run flat Bridgestone tires which were on previous BMW's

Your studs look super worn out and those tires are crap anyway dude. In Finland, you dont cheap out on a set of winter tires.
