Currently running Bridgestone RE760 Sports. Classified as "Ultra High Performance" I have found them to be a great summer tire on a DD.
Tiguan suspension lift, 17 x 8 et35 TSW Nurburgring wheels with 225/55r17 Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 snow tires. Car has been an absolute beast in the snow, even driving through 6 to 8 inches on the road. Car handles bumps, dips, ice and snow with ease.
Absolute best grip in that size will be the Bridgestone Potenza RE71-R. That would be the 'autocross special' tire. It's a 200 treadwear rated tire, so it's legal in the SCCA Street classes, but it's very soft and extremely grippy.
Been using 225/45R-17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS80's...they have been great last 2 winters.
my wife followed me home and she just plowed through with her Nokian Hakkapelliitta R3's, the new ones, much better...maybe I'll get those next year.
I haven't tried the Toyo Celsius, but we did have the other all-weather tire, the Nokian WRG3, on our family minivan. We went with those over the Celsius per the recommendation of the tire shop I bought from. The manager there thought the Nokians offered better winter snow/ice grip over the Celsius, while the Celsius was better in dry conditions.
I was low on cash so I went with Nokian zLine a/s ones. They are a lot better then I expected for the price but they are great so far.
I have a set of 265/30/R18 Bridgestone RE71Rs I autocross them and daily drove them for a while. But pricey but worth it for performance. I've heard people refer to these as one step down from slicks
I like Michelin Latitude Tours until moving north. I've had Nokian WR-G3s for the past 5-6 years. Current set at 25k and ready to be replaced (at the 4, they come with 8,6,4 marked in the tread). They are an all-weather plus tire that is v-rated and super great in the winter and keeps me from having to swap from winter to summer tires. They aren't as smooth as the Michelins but, they aren't bad either.
My car has RE97AS's on it. Basically rated 2.6 on ice traction...no wonder I slid down the entire off ramp. Ordered some blizzak LM-32's and some new rims.
