Tires BRIDGESTONE or FEDERAL
From personal experience - go for Bridgestone Turanza 6i.
Bridgestone Blizzak. On par with the x-ice and cheaper.
Honda worked with Bridgestone to make the RE92 tire for the very efficient Honda Insight.
Made roughly a 10mpg difference vs other tires.
Blizzaks are better than X-Ice for snow.
Blizzaks are better in snow, especially deeper snow, but are noisier.
Bridgestone Turnaza 6 for comfort
Federals will be really noisy after a few thousand miles. Almost like your wheel bearings don’t exist anymore. Had rs-rr and 615k+. 615k+ is better. Both are way off pace but great budget tires. 615k+ is actually a pretty good tire for hpde.
I have this on my car. It's an OK A to B tire. Definitely not meet my expectation (ie. hard corner turning). I know it's a low road noise-focused tire but still.
Honestly as a parts guy that deals with tires ever day the worst part about that is the fact its a Bridgestone Alenza lol
Weatherpeak is a horrrifically bad tire in dry and wet conditions. It could not pass the tirerack emergency lane change test and has long braking distances in dry and wet conditions.
