Bridgestone Re71R for asphalt, BFG Rival 1.5 for concrete
Pros: good for asphalt
Cons: good for concrete
Currently running Bridgestone RE760 Sports. Classified as "Ultra High Performance" I have found them to be a great summer tire on a DD.
Pros: great summer tire
Cons: Michelins harden faster
Absolute best grip in that size will be the Bridgestone Potenza RE71-R. That would be the 'autocross special' tire. It's a 200 treadwear rated tire, so it's legal in the SCCA Street classes, but it's very soft and extremely grippy.
Pros: best grip, extremely grippy
Cons: very soft
Been using 225/45R-17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS80's...they have been great last 2 winters.
Pros: have been great
I have a set of 265/30/R18 Bridgestone RE71Rs I autocross them and daily drove them for a while. But pricey but worth it for performance. I've heard people refer to these as one step down from slicks
Pros: worth it for performance
Cons: pricey
Had the Conti All Seasons last winter and was not real happy how they performed on ice/snow. Wife was slipping and sliding all over, especially in single digit temps. Took advantage of a Costco Bridgestone deal and got the Blizzak snow tires for about $700 after installation. Haven't had a chance to test them yet in the elements, but the ride is very quiet although a little more floaty/soft. Can't take the corners as fast as you would with the Conti's.
Pros: ride is very quiet
Cons: more floaty/soft
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I agree, very quiet compared to my Bridgestone Ecopia 422 plus H, better traction wet and dry...better handling too. Expansion joint crossings are quieter than my Bridgestones as well.
Pros: better traction, better handling
Cons: visually busy sidewall
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Get some Blizzak's from Costco while they are on sale. They have been a huge upgrade on my Mazda.
Pros: huge upgrade
Vehicle:
Mazda
I've been running Blizzaks for a few years now. Love them.
Pros: Love them
