I never had a puncture on multiple sets of KO2's.
Blizzak WS90. Hands down, best winter tire for cars.
But recently tried the Bridgestone Blizzak DM 2 very nice ride.
I switched the Kumho Crugens that came with my 2022 Santa Cruz SEL nonturbo with activity to BF Goodrich Trail Terrain, still at 245/60r18 about 2 weeks ago. The Trail Terrain is a lot more quiet, in fact, I can hear the hum of the engine much clearer now. Great in mild snow and ice, never slipped. It also performed very well in the rain and a little puddle, no hydroplaning so far. Cornering is not at good as the Crugen and needed a bit of correction. The ride is almost as comfy as the Crugen, but I can feel the little road imperfections subtly. I averaged 26.8 mpg on the Crugen, the Trail Terrain set me back a dismal 23.9 mpg.
I love the WS80s on my SX4 though.
I have Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 (18”) on factory wheels on my 2024 Taos SE and only once, as I was approaching 50 mph, did I get that vibration. I got out, checked my wheels, and noticed some snow buildup between the wheel and the brakes (rear wheels, fronts were fine). I cleaned it out and the problem went away.
Aside from Canada 2010, can confirm, Bridgestone tires are durable and great. Own a set on my road car. Well priced too. 10/10. Would equip again.
Oh and this in on new Bridgestone Weatherpeaks - I swapped out the stock trash - poor ratings even in rain - immediately.
These tires are awful on my car. They're not performance tires by an means. They're meant to be driven and babied like a granny. In snow, you'd have to drive 30 km/hr or else it'll start sliding. In rain, it'll hydroplane after 90 km/hr. And in dry condition, it's adequate but loud on highways.
Overpriced, overweight. I try to get the lightest weight tire in a given size that still looks decent. Hard to beat KO2s
