Tires BRIDGESTONE or ADVAN
Just gave the Weatherpeaks a solid test in snow and ice on a road trip through Seattle and Oregon. On my 2021 CX-5 Signature they performed quite well.
I personally have Bridgestone Revo 3 on my truck. Best non-snow tire I’ve ever driven in the snow and rain, they ride and steer much better than any other all terrain and I’ve never needed more off road performance.
Was my favourite tyre. I tried the sc and the r11s back to back and felt much more confident on the r11s. I had less front wheel movement under braking and less slide from the rear so stuck with them
For MPG we had good results with the Bridgestone ecopia ep422 , we’ve since switched over to a tire that has better snow performance after using those up.
I've had my Bridgestone Weatherpeaks for several months now...absolutely love them.
Great ride, very quiet, great wet and dry performance.
Just had our first real dump (and a nasty one at that) of snow with a good layer of ice underneath (it rained for two days prior to the snow). Ive been driving around for the last couple days thoroughly impressed with the snow and ice performance of these tires. I had guys ahead of me slipping and sliding almost right through a 4 way stop and my Seltos didn't even kick on the ABS when I came up to it. Any slippage in corners and on acceleration seemed very gradual and easily controllable. They have been very confidence inspiring in the crap weather we have just had...I would highly recommend them.
The best all weathers for snow/ice are the General Altimax 365 and the Bridgestone Weatherpeak. These are very good choices for winter biased all weathers. While they won't be quite as good as the best dedicated snow tires, they will be as good or better than an average snow tire.
Bridgestone B 290. Great all round tyre.
I went with the Ecopia 422+ on my 2013, replacing my stock tires. Range has been good (if not a little better), and the ride is MUCH quieter than the stock tires. Like I didn't realize how loud the road noise was until it was gone.
My opinion is that these are very mild offroad tires. Better than regular street tires with slight improvement for off pavement. But on my Tacoma, the tires would spin quite easily in loose dirt going up hill on an 6-8 degree grade.
I was unfortunate to receive my GTI with a set of the RE97AS's. Rough surfaces are the worst - makes everything in the car rattle or vibrate. Dry grip is quite poor (as others have mentioned), bad breakaway even at low throttle inputs. At cruising speeds on newer highways (rubberized asphalt) everything seems fine.
