If you're thinking of a grand touring tire, I switched from separate summer/winter performance sets to Vredestein Quatrac Pro 2 years ago and I've been very happy with it. Good performance all year in all weather, still feels connected to the road, wear rate has been good, I'd not hesitate to get them again.
I drove with budget tires for a long time untill i decided to get vredesteins wich were twice as expensive...but provided much better driving experiences.
Dedicated snow tires like Blizzaks kick any 3 peak tires ass. I've driven several brands, and I almost have to drive every time it snows. I wouldn't choose any other tire for winter driving/ commuting, and some light off road.
When I was living in Montana I got Blizzaks because the commute to the resort was up an icy canyon. I love the Blizzaks so much, I now don’t want my KO2s on my car in the winter. The grip is so different.
I’ve had very good experience with Vredestein tires. Ive had them on Mercedes and Nissan and they were comfortable, quiet, and had decent all season handling.
Felt good, real frigging good on the Bridgestones compared to the Falkens. I love Falkens for the price but had to be competitive and it was my first time on Potenza rubber and I don't know if I can go back. I was able to left foot brake so well through the elements and folks on the cones said I was absolutely 3-wheeling through the sweepers, so nice to feel the front end grip and hold.
I chose Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascents for my rig, they’ve been great so far after about 8,000mi, waiting to give a real review once the snow comes.
I was running stock Bridgestones - they’re 240 TW. They’re street tires and I don’t think I do enough track days to go w a more track oriented tire. They felt quite good on track. Not great. Good.
I’m also experiencing the same poor tread life with the Weatherpeaks at 16,000 miles. I’m actually slipping on turns now and plan on using the warranty for a replacement. I don’t feel good about these tires.
Oh mate you have chosen a shit tyre, I had the BT23 and they were straight plastic in super cold weather :/ (took ages to get em to even get warm)
I had multiple spin ups/slides over white markings and straight up dodgy pavement in London, made me lose a lot of confidence in the wet
