Tires BRIDGESTONE or GENERAL TIRE
I was a fan of Bridgestones, had some turanza Serenities on my mk5 and before that my old 960 wagon.
Dramatically better traction, specifically when driving through parking lots that were plowed, but now there's 2-4 inches of loose snow you have to go through. Just driving out of the parking lot after installation I had way way better grip.
It's like going from 30% grip to 80% grip.
The improved snow traction is amazing. Living in Minnesota I will never put a tire without the 3Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol on a car I own again
Bridgestone Driveguards if you want RFTs. driveguards are near silent unless you're in dire need of suspension work
Bridgestone Blizzaks or Michelin Crossclimate 2’s.
We changed our Yoko's out at 1300 miles. Very happy with the General 365AW's we replaced them with, they handle almost as well in the snow as the Michelin XiceSnow tires on our other car.
I have all weather tires by general tires. They work well. Main issue for my 2014 F56 is ground clearance.
All weather tires are a thing now, they’re between a dedicated winter tire and all season. They tend to do just as well in the snow as a dedicated winter tire but not as well on ice, but still better than an all season. The best part is they’re meant to be run all year round and are incredible in the rain as well. They do tend to be a little noisier than an all season and have a bit of tread squirm which you can feel on turn in. I run them on my daily and as soon as I hit the brakes for the first time in the snow I was completely sold, never going back to all seasons again.
Love my Blizzaks. I live where we get 450” of snow.
I just got the G max RS on my Mk 7 from a dealer. Don’t know too much about track performance but they’re grippy if a little loud while on the highway.
Bridgestone have been terrible for me.
