Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear
RE71r - on all four corners of my S6. Really sticky and ride well.
After a massive blowout on 422 here in PA a few months back, and having HUGE bubbles in the sidewalls of two other tires and a large gash (no idea where this came from) of the spare that went on, I replaced all four with a set of Bridgestone RE980 AS+'s. What a difference in the way the car rides and grips. You can feel the Bridgestone's handle the bumps SO much better than the stock Conti's and there's much more grip.
I lived in Boston for a while and i used blizzak tires. They worked well.
The Goodyear Endurance are very good tires. I had them on my rig from the factory. After 4 years I swapped them for Michelin LT tires.
Had Westlakes on my Grand Design from the factory, I didn't have a blowout but a number of people on the Facebook group I'm in did.
I replaced them with Goodyear Endurance mid-season last year and the difference in ride quality was night and day. I don't regret it.
You should expect a slightly worse gas mileage, but not by much. In exchange you're getting excellent traction in the snow and rain though, so definitely a good choice for a tire.
I haven’t gotten my MYLR yet, but on my CX-5 I did a ton of research and the Bridgestone Weatherpeak edged out CC2 on many fronts.
I drove through some bad winter storms on them and they’re a beast. My MPG was also not affected, or were barely affected (like 0.2-0.4mpg less), compared to the Toyo stock tires.
I've had sidewall bubbles after pothole impacts on two previous low profile run flat Bridgestone tires which were on previous BMW's
I have found it quite hard to predict, but Bridgestone were extremely noisy for me. Then I had Michelin which were slightly quieter but still didn't satisfy me completely.
I bought tires from walmart exactly once. One developed a big bulge in the sidewall after a couple days, one didn't hold air, one had a knock, and they fucked up the weight placement on one so it was hitting my caliper. Never again.
