Tires BRIDGESTONE or NANKANG
My car came with the Toyos and they lasted one summer, in the winter I run Blizzaks. Summer 2012 and 2013 I ran Potenza RE-11s. These has spent 3 weekends at Tail of the Dragon in that time and still have tread left on them to get me into next season and they are stickier than the Toyo Proxes and about $100 per tire cheaper.
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport. I had a set on my previous car. Low noise and great handling.
If you get some Bridgestone Serenity tires, the road noise isn't nearly as bad.
I'm personally very happy with my Bridestone Pole Position RE960AS tires. (Way better than the Goodyear Eagle LS's the car came with) They withstood several trips to the track this summer, and seriously outperformed anyone there when it was wet out.
I live in Langley. I run Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 which work great for the amount of snow we get, while still being a decent performance tire.
Get Ns1's. Handle heavy load, stretch well, and respond well to over inflation.
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
I've always just used Blizzak WS-50's but they do have a squishy sidewall. The Blizzak WS-60 or Revo 01 is a lot better. The Nokian Hakkapelliita's have a better sidewall too.
I had a set of RE050A Pole Position, they wore out in about 10k miles. All highway miles!
