Now it's got Conti Extreme Contacts. They are directional, so they can only be rotated front to back which I admittedly didn't do as much as I should.

As far as the Bridgestone tires, I have ran them for 2 years and they have been an excellent all season tire. They do everything well and easily beat the factory tires.
Pros: excellent all season tire
Cons: beat the factory tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg
I went with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS for my 2008 EOS LUX, replacing the OEM Goodyear Eagles. While no snow (yet), I'm very happy with them. The car handling is significantly better and, very importantly, the squeal when accelerating is gone.
Pros: better car handling
Cons: squeal when accelerating
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Eos
I have had both sets on cars I have owned. the kh16 is more of a highway tire, it grips good in all weather conditions. The LX platinum is good in all conditions accept snow, it gets ok traction because of the softer rubber used. It grips better than any tire I have had for the price of them in dry conditions
Pros: grips good in all weather
Cons: LX platinum bad in snow
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I have 10k on the Goodyear Eagle all seasons and so far so good. I love their aggressive-looking tread and they handle fine in the rain, but the jury is still out on snow performance.
Pros: aggressive-looking tread, handle fine in rain
Cons: snow performance unknown
Mileage: 10000 km
These have worked out very well for me. Lasted much longer than the jumbo ecsta asx(?) I ran before.
Pros: lasted much longer
I can attest to the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. They are freekin excellent: grippy, grippy and predictable in the rain, really quiet, ride nice, and the treadwear warranty can't be beat.
Pros: grippy, predictable in rain
I put on a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS in size 235/40/18 about two weeks ago. I've seen plenty of rain and so far have been really impressed with their performance in those conditions.
Pros: impressed with rain performance
Cons: steering response squishy
I had a friend that got a set of 19's from ebay. He said they were ok but wore pretty quickly iirc.
Pros: ok performance
Cons: wore pretty quickly
I had a set of RE050A Pole Position, they wore out in about 10k miles. All highway miles!
Cons: wore out quickly
Mileage: 10000 km
