I have Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascents on my Ram Rebel and like them a lot.
I recommend the Bridgestone Blizzak. They are studless snow tires. Instead of medal studs, they embed a series of really firm rubber 'studs' into the softer rubber of the tire. They work just as well as metal studded tires, but don't chew up the road or make the annoying noise that the metal studs.
I love the bridgestone potenza RE-71RS
I use Bridgestone Turanza T005s. They harden really fast if you don't take care of it, but they are very good for daily driving and last quite well if you take care of it.
The stones have been a cheater tire for me in a sense that they communicate so well, they handle abuse of inputs, when they give up grip, they’re very gradual and you feel a slide coming. And when you do lose traction, the slide is controllable to get back into grip. There’s a reason they’re at the spear tip of auto cross.
I ran Blizzaks over the last few years.
Bridgestone does everything really well (except snow) and have been the tires that Ive bought repeatedly to cut out the guesswork.
I've been running them year-round on my 2009 S2000 since new - on Vancouver Island. Total no go in snow, didn't ever even consider of going on the highway, but backed out onto the driveway once when there was a couple inches of snow so I could move some stuff around in the garage. Only a slight incline, but it was not pretty getting back in. That said, we get lots of rain and they've worked well as long as there aren't serious puddles.
Just FYI, if you are looking for winter capability (snow/ice) the Weatherpeak sucks after 2 seasons of driving (\~ 30,000kms).
What I have observed is - when I go beyond 100 kmph, I sense vibrations from the tires. I did not face this while I was on my factory 19" tires (Goodyear tires). This was not a one-time thing, on different road conditions, different temperatures, I felt the same vibrations when the speed goes beyond 100-105 kmph. I think it is because of the tires, I can also sense the vibrations on my steering wheel.
