Tires Hankook or BRIDGESTONE
I am very impressed with the battlecross x30's. They are very consistent and predictable. I've been getting great traction which isn't surprising but what did surprise me was the tread life. This tire has lasted like a champ for me.
My Bridgestone Ecopia tires (on it from the dealer) have a surprisingly high amount of grip.
Bridgestone's have been amazing for me. Quiet, great traction in all weathers, and good tread wear. A little stiffer than other tires maybe but I prefer the handling anyway.
I have Hankook IPike w203 (couple of years older model) and don't have a single complaint (very happy).
I'm on my 4th set of blizzaks, and the new ws-80 are a huge improvement over previous versions. The older tires were terrible on dry/rain with a mushy feel. The WS-80 drive much more like an all-season. I drive aggressively, and these are very confidence inspiring no matter what the road surface is like. I took them out on snow/ice/slush for the first time last weekend and they were fantastic, not a single hiccup on the way to Mt. Hood Meadows.
On my MK VI R I run Hanhook Icept Evo's in the winter, they are a "snow" tire winter rated and all but they are also geared towards high performance. I feel very confident in conrnrs and such when its dry unlike some snow tires that are mush and don't handle well. In a car like the R it would be a shae to use a tire that doesn't allow the car to handle well when roads are dry or just slightly wet. the Icepts are a great snow tire. I have had zero issues wit their performance on snowy surfaces especially with the AWD you can basically go WOT from a stop in the snow and have no traction issues.
Best tire recommendation.... Get your self some Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Pluses for this bad boy and you'll be cruising in comfort.
I put the Potenza RE 760 Sport (non all season tire) and I love its performance in wet and dry. It amazed me with the amount of cornering grip. Also, not noisy, and seems to be wearing very well.
It's the stock tire on my Prius. I'd never put it on my other cars by choice, but it seems to suit the Prius just fine. Never had any issues with tracking. Of course the steering feel is terrible, but that's the story with the entire car.
It's the tires...... My car came with the Hankook's and they are noisy lil bastards....
