For snow tires Blizzaks are remarkable but they are soft/squishy. Since Denver gets warm and sunny frequently during the winter, if it's only car I wouldn't get these if the intent is to leave them on for the season - performance and handling aren't, and wear is
I like Bridgestone. Never had Goodyears, but I would only get them for specialty purposes (racing, off-roading), not all-year regular passenger car tires.
I like my Blizzaks. They've gotten me through some dicey whiteouts and snow storms.
Wife and son drive Blizzaks - she on her 4Runner here in New England; son who lives in Denver and does a ton of snowboarding (Jetta). Both very happy with them.
We have Blizzaks WS90s on our CX5. They were on our Highlander before that. This will be season four on them and they will be replaced because of age, not wear. I love the Blizzaks and will buy them again for sure. Great ride, great grip in all conditions, and surprising longevity.
My Mazda3's all have had Blizzak WS60's, 80's and my 3rd gen is on WS90's. Love them!
I had a set on my Explorer last winter and was seriously impressed. They actually ended up being just about perfect - more compliant than my 21" Pirellis, but far firmer, quieter, and enjoyable than I could have ever hoped for. Performance in the snow was incredible
I had WS80s on my Mazda 6 for 6 years and they still had lots of tread left when I traded the car in. I had WS90s on my ATS and they were excellent too.
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.
Mine came with the bridge stones. They are a little noisier than I would like and they certainly don't offer the traction I want.
