Tires BRIDGESTONE or GT Radial
Bridgestone weather peak is far and away the best all season I've used. Good in the winter & a solid daily driver tire the rest of the year.
Bridgeston are super dourable tho, i got then on my mercedes sprinter generator 3,4 tons and they handle and last well, all seasons aslwell
Bridgestone A005 is exceptional in non-snowy conditions and definitely weaker in snow (but still miles ahead of any summer tyre). It is just tuned more towards mild climate and will get you home safely when you come across snow.
I can, however, recommend some tires that I trust wholeheartedly, and I don't take it easy on my tires. (Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S22) Fantastic grip in rain, dry, hot, or cold.
I just checked Tire Rack for the 17in size tires and they're in stock. There's also a Bridgestone version.
In winter I run a set of Blizzaks in 225/40/18 on the factory wheels. Car is excellent in snow
All 4 wheels are in perfect condition. No scratches, bends or dents. They were installed on my 2024 Golf R for 3k miles Tires are in perfect condition with only 3k miles. Bridgestone Potenza S005 235/35/19 8.5x19 rim size ET45 offset
They are fine, feel rather soft.
I had them on an Audi A4 one winter, it snowed a decent amount that year but there were plenty of non-precipitation days and they were OK (a little noisy) on highway and city.
They're not good. I had sidewall bubbles on 2 of my Turanzas.
Bridgestone have been terrible for me.
