A couple weeks ago I had a opportunity through work to test drive some super sweet BMW's with various Bridgestone Tires on it. It's what they call a Drive and Learn course. Where they put you in performance vehicles and let you feel the handling response differently designed tires perform from each other.
Four BMW's with four different tires going form average Passenger tires to different levels of High Performance tires. I was blown away at how the tires performed so much differently from each other. Handling, Cornering and Control were so drastically changed from tire to tire.
It was definitely a learning experience and now i can really vouch for the better tires on any vehicle. If you are looking for a new car in the near future...don't forget to factor what tire are gonna end up costing you when the time comes. Because most of these new cars coming out now require the larger high performance tires that cost considerably more than you'd think. If you decide to cheap out on them that fancy ride you are getting won't drive anything like it did when new unless you keep the Good tires on there.
Even though I'm employed by Bridgestone I firmly believe they make the best tires out there!
Check out the video above! It doesn't come close the thrill of doing it live!

I am going to put my vote on Michelin tires. I heard that Bridgestone kills kittens to make those tires.- Spiderman
