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.
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
Bridgestone Potenza S01 Pole Positions or RE050A are far superior...
I'll run mine 'till the wheels fall off. It's been relatively trouble free - most all problems were fixed while it was under warranty. Front pads & rotors were replaced twice, latest at 30K. So far, so good, but the rear pads are ready for replacement now - will replace rotors also.
For example, Maxxis MA-Z1's cost me $135ea and last about 30,000kms, but the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001's on my car at the moment can get about 60-80,000kms, but cost $185ea.
I had the WS-50 on my Miata (came with it) and they were fanfukintastic in snow and ice but lasted about 20,000 miles total before turning into slippy dangerous banana peels while still showing 6/32 remaining.
I'll repeat the recommendation for the General Arctic Altimax and currently have them on my 2012 Golf. My previous Audi A4 had Blizzaks in the winter, they handled poorly (soft sidewalls) and wore very quickly but stuck well in our wet snow.
I had a set of RE050A Pole Position, they wore out in about 10k miles. All highway miles!
