I have Bridgestones on all my vehicles except the new Homda which came with OE Michelins. I also have Blizzaks for two vehicles, one set of performance winters and one with ice &snow Blizzaks.
Re050-super handling summer only tire
Turanza Serenity Grand Touring for quiet, comfort, high mileage
G019 high performance all season
LM-22 Blizzak high performance winter
LM-60 max Ice and Snow
All the above are great tires, in fact, the 300M is at the Firestone store right now getting a set of Turanza Serenitys.
Regarding the stores, unfortunately, there is a lot of inconsistency. I have a lot of tire and service business to give so I try to leverage it into special favors like free swaps of the winter tires. These stores have a lot of turnover so you have to get to know the manager and make him realize you'll give him a lot of business if he takes care of you.
