I use Nokian Hakkapeliitta 1's on my Jetta.
I've bought 4 new Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 winter tires last year and I found them really good. I uses to have a set of Michelin Artic Alpin on my old car but these Blizzaks are much better in my opinion.
Just put some nokian hakka q's on the gf's golf.
I finally decided on the Bridgestone RE950's. I bought them on Monday and I haven't regretted it once so far. So far with these tires I haven't lost grip once when I didn't try and sometime not when I DID try.
Bridgestone S-02 Pole Positions--awesome in the rain and REALLY awesome on dry.
A friend of mine has the 950s on his Del Sol and does NOT stop saying great things about them. He got them at the Bridgestone Racing Academy for half price and is really really happy. However he does 'caution' that they are horrible, horrible in snow.
My vote is for RE950. I have just replaced my Passat's 195 OEMs with BS RE950 215/60/15. So glad I made the switch, the difference is like day and night. No sidewall flex, the wheels now look much better too.
We've got a FWD model Passat, and we use Nokian Hakkapeliitas in the winter We went out on closed (snowed out) roads in southern Oregon We were passing snow plows and SUVs left and right Not even a bit of wheelspin, it was just like being on dry ground, only quieter 4motion is probably worth it in the northeast
Bridgestone Potenza RE950 - lotsa grip in wet or dry - had them for a year and not disappointed at all, and I do drive my car very hard.
After this mornings hellish commute in this monsoon, I am having second thoughts about the Bridgestone RE950's. This is coming upon the end of my first summer with these tires and they are getting scary in the rain. I drove the hell out of the OEM Michelins until they would hydroplane at 40mph. These Bridgestones are wearing much faster than I thought. The dry road handling is still terrific, but wet weather leaves a bit to be desired.
