Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear
We had Goodyear Assurance TripleTreds on our Outback - outstanding traction in rain and snow/slush.
My Pirellis got very noisy at 20K and were badly cupped by 30K. I wouldn't recommend replacing them with another set of the same tire. I put Bridgestone RE 970AS Pole Positions on my GTI and have been very happy with them so far. They had the highest ratings on Tire Rack, just edging out the Conti Extreme Contacts.
Highly recommend Bridgestone ecopia tires had 2 sets on the Prius lasted 60k each,handled well,and gave good efficiency
Bridgestone Potenza S01 Pole Positions or RE050A are far superior...
Goodyear Eagle GT, 235/40-18 Rides rough, not too bad noise wise, handles great on dry and wet. Gives good feedback and confidence in corners. I've got about 19k miles on them now, they still have about 30 to 40% tread left. I'm an aggressive driver.
I'll run mine 'till the wheels fall off. It's been relatively trouble free - most all problems were fixed while it was under warranty. Front pads & rotors were replaced twice, latest at 30K. So far, so good, but the rear pads are ready for replacement now - will replace rotors also.
I'm running the same tires I always have -- the ones that came stock on the car -- goodyear eagle F1s -- that I have loved forever and never had problems with...
For example, Maxxis MA-Z1's cost me $135ea and last about 30,000kms, but the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001's on my car at the moment can get about 60-80,000kms, but cost $185ea.
I'll repeat the recommendation for the General Arctic Altimax and currently have them on my 2012 Golf. My previous Audi A4 had Blizzaks in the winter, they handled poorly (soft sidewalls) and wore very quickly but stuck well in our wet snow.
I switched from the 3D to the Revo1 last year and I regret the purchase... The Revo1 is a better tire from a snow perspective but in all other aspects it's terrible! On dry roads the Revo1s wander and track all over the place, are extremely loud, are very slow on initial turn-in, and wear very quickly! In rainy and slushy conditions they are downright scary!!!
