Tires BRIDGESTONE or Vredestein
Got 4 new Bridgestone two years ago for about $500
With balance. Free tire rotations and patch job. Don’t buy junk. They are rated for 50-60K. Driven maybe 30k have 5 mm tread depth left even mostly city driving.
RS11's are amazing tires, used them before going to slicks. For road use the don't last that long though.
There's also the Bridgestone WeatherPeak, which is priced like the Michelin CrossClimate, but it seems like it has better snow and ice traction.
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.
If you’re in the Bay Area with limited winter driving go for the Vredestein Hitrac’s. They are quiet comfortable and within surly upgrade your ride.
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've had sidewall bubbles after pothole impacts on two previous low profile run flat Bridgestone tires which were on previous BMW's
It took me till the day after the first snow when I slid through a red light. They are literal slicks. Get snow tires! Blizzaks make winter magical
