Well, I'll tell you that, in general, I dislike Bridgestone tires.
Then again, I tend to drive relatively heavy vehicles, and I don't
have vehicles which are too good for snow.  I also don't buy snow
tires, so I need tires that behave as well as possible in the dry,
without making my car a death machine in the winter snow / rain.  Most
recently, I've been quite impressed with Kumho's Ecsta line - but you
didn't ask about those.  I'd really push to give either of the Toyos a
try, as people I know who run Toyo in general have been quite pleased
with them.

I don't expect that to help much, really.  But I will ask a related
question - have you considered moving up to a 15 or 16 inch rim?
Removing some of that sidewall will make a bigger difference in
control than much of anything else, and you'll likely find a whole lot
more tire choice.  I'm not sure precisely what your car looks like or
what your goals are in that department, but some powdercoated steel
wheels in a larger diameter can look pretty cool and can generally be
found for a very low price... :)

Ok, I'm done not answering the question now.
