I like the set of firestone winterforce I just put on our XC70 this year so far. Took them out on snow/ice a few times so far and they feel like I would expect any dedicated winter tire to feel. What took me by surprise is how they drive in the dry... perfectly reasonable handling/braking and reasonable road noise for a winter tire. These actually handle and brake better in the dry than bridgestone weatherpeaks.
On my previous vehicle, I had the Bridgestone Dueler H/L tires on 20'' wheels and they were wonderful tires. Great in the snow in the winter time in New England and also super comfortable.
Another solid budget pick is the Firehawk Indy 500 (basically a baby Pilot Sport but cheaper). I ran them on my old Mk7 and they were awesome for daily + fun drives.
My old ram came with old all terrains. Took it to the shop in 4hi and granny driving. Installed some blizzaks dvm2s and never put it in 4 again for the rest of the winter.
I also like the bridgestone RE71's. I ran them on my s2000.
Indy500 - probably my favorite all around tire. Good looking tread, great dry grip, SUPERB wet grip, and also very quiet & comfortable
Firehawk Indy 500. They've been great and also really good grip in winter/rainy weather. I have about 26k miles on them with plenty of tread still. And they're cheap.
Hoping the Bridgestones are better in the wet on this new compound. I hate swapping from yokes to stones and mess up my timing.
Those tires are mediocre to begin with, Toyota owners have complained about those bridgestones for over a decade now. The 2015+ Camry had those equipped, many reported shitty wear. It's a basic tire that's made for a smoother ride but definitely not made for longevity.
Those tires wear out fast. I lost 2mm of tread on all tires in 3800km. Window sticker says they only last 20000miles.
