Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia
I tried the Nokian Outpost AT, and I don’t think road noise is bad at all. They’re 3PMSF too!
I like Bridgestone Potenza RE003. Great dry grip and excellent wet grip.
RE71r - on all four corners of my S6. Really sticky and ride well.
My winter SE tyres are nokian WR G4. These have a good balance of grip, life and rolling resistance. They are a little down on the stock UHP summer hankooks in 80+ weather. But in PA, they're likely a great all year choice.
I got these for my RL and have no regrets . Super quiet, excellent in rain and snow. I will only buy Nokians for my vehicles.
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.
I can't find a detailed review of the Nokian One, but I have good experience with Nokian winter tires. They're comfortable and have great traction.
The Bridgestone RE780 AS is another excellent tire- I'd say it's nearly as good as the Michelin, definitely better than the BFG. Where it falls down is cost- it's about the same price as the Michelin PS A/S line of all seasons and does not have the same performance. Great in the dry, great in the wet- the dry grip is not as good as the Michelin.
These are my winter tires in Michigan. Seasonal roads only, they suck otherwise for off-roading.
