Tires BRIDGESTONE or DUNLOP
We had a really bad storm and the Bridgestone did fine on unplowed roads.
We have a '25 Sport and run Blizzaks on it and its been great the last two winters.
I have used the Bridgestone Turanza Allseason 6 on a Mazda CX5 2.5 AWD for 2 years and 20.000 km. They are excellent during summer heat and torrential rain on highways and I have yet to fond any issue with them on ice and snow, although the latter was limited. They are still at 7 mm tread.
I recently put the Bridgestones on my Mazda6 and they feel great in cold and wet weather, quite good in snow for all seasons too, but I haven’t had a chance to try them in proper European summer heat. My previous car had cc2 that were excellent in the snow, average on wet, and quite bad for my liking on summer drives. They just felt soft and flexi above 30c.
Just bought a new set of Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires to replace the old ones. Good snow tires and a stick shift makes it pretty good in the snow and just in time, we're getting buried tomorrow up here!
22 own bridgestone and i’m about to replace them at 16k. mostly city driving. i could probably get more life out of them but got a new set on sale and the originals won’t make it to lease return so i went for it. these wouldn’t be my pick for replacement if i were keeping long term.
Pilot sport as4. I’ve run potenzas before and didn’t like how they rode after 10k miles.
I had an STI with the stock tires for a long time and they were terrible in the cold weather.
At around 40-45 degrees, stock Dunlops start to slip around corners with these tires in a bad way. 30's, you'll definitely lose control easily and slide with any hard braking.
The Dunlop summers? Yeah they're terrible lol. Basically useless under 40 degrees as they turn rock solid and no longer grip the road
