They're not good. I had sidewall bubbles on 2 of my Turanzas.
Cons: sidewall bubbles

Couldn't agree more, just swapped to my Blizzaks for the winter, just another thing to not worry about. Got early snow/slush over the weekend, and it drives just fine in that slop. And when the snow gets deep (rarely), no problem:
Pros: drives fine in slop
Some plain steelies and a set of Blizzaks are your friend.
Pros: good in winter
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
The Bridgestone RE780 AS is another excellent tire- I'd say it's nearly as good as the Michelin, definitely better than the BFG. Where it falls down is cost- it's about the same price as the Michelin PS A/S line of all seasons and does not have the same performance. Great in the dry, great in the wet- the dry grip is not as good as the Michelin.
Pros: excellent, great in dry, great in wet
Cons: high cost, dry grip not as good as Michelin
I had the Bridgestone 970ASes. They have incredible consistency which is the huge plus over a straight summer needing warmup before it really sticks. Wet grip is almost the same as dry. They were the best tires I had on my caravan and golf, you can get by a winter with them if you don't have a second set of wheels.
Pros: incredible consistency, good wet grip, good for winter

I got some cheap $100 tires and even those are better than the stock Bridgestones

Cons: terrible

After i got a bit of use out of them i got a set of bridgestones. I cant remember what ones exactly but they really didn't cost all that more than the cheapest tires i could find. The difference was night and day. Car was much quieter at motorway speeds, felt a lot more planted to the road and more importantly felt much less skiddish in the rain. Made the car feel completely different.
Pros: quieter, more planted
Cons: skiddish in rain
