Tires YOKOHAMA or BRIDGESTONE

I have bridgestone winterforce. I like them. They may be a bit aggressive and therefor a little more noisy then other winter tires. But depending on how deep of snow you drive in it makes a difference. Some other winter tires are geared for better on road winter performance. But overall I like them and I have definitely taken them in deep snow on unplowed dirt roads.

I've had Blizzaks, the WS60 that are out of date now, but they were pretty great. Awesome snow traction, great dry handling considering they were snow tires, and very quite.

I'm using Yokohama advan s.4s. They're an ultra high performance all season tire and I really enjoy them so far. I've put about 1000 miles on them.

I do have an appt to get a new set of Yokohana Parada SPEC-X tires. I looked into the YK580s, but, we have no Discount Tire outlets in my neck of the woods. I was looking for something similar in the Yokohama line and found the Spec X.

As for tires, I went with the Yokohama YK580s sold only at Discount Tire and have been pleased. Put them on the van and the Passat and very happy with the results. Similar specs to Michelin Primacy tires, but better cost.

what this guy said, ran 175/50 Yoko S-Drives on a 16x8 great tire great strech

So far (300 miles) I have noticed the following; 1. Bridgestone tires seem to have more wet grip than the Kuhmo's

My car came with the Toyos and they lasted one summer, in the winter I run Blizzaks. Summer 2012 and 2013 I ran Potenza RE-11s. These has spent 3 weekends at Tail of the Dragon in that time and still have tread left on them to get me into next season and they are stickier than the Toyo Proxes and about $100 per tire cheaper.

I've always just used Blizzak WS-50's but they do have a squishy sidewall. The Blizzak WS-60 or Revo 01 is a lot better. The Nokian Hakkapelliita's have a better sidewall too.

I switched from the 3D to the Revo1 last year and I regret the purchase... The Revo1 is a better tire from a snow perspective but in all other aspects it's terrible! On dry roads the Revo1s wander and track all over the place, are extremely loud, are very slow on initial turn-in, and wear very quickly! In rainy and slushy conditions they are downright scary!!!
