I use Bridgestone Turanza T005s. They harden really fast if you don't take care of it, but they are very good for daily driving and last quite well if you take care of it.
The stones have been a cheater tire for me in a sense that they communicate so well, they handle abuse of inputs, when they give up grip, they’re very gradual and you feel a slide coming. And when you do lose traction, the slide is controllable to get back into grip. There’s a reason they’re at the spear tip of auto cross.
I ran Blizzaks over the last few years.
Bridgestone does everything really well (except snow) and have been the tires that Ive bought repeatedly to cut out the guesswork.
Bridgestone blizzaks are my absolute favorite winter tire, tons of traction!
I've been using blizzak tires for over a decade on my front wheel drive car. Best tire out there IMO.
The Bridgestone Blizzack is an excellent winter tire. We’ve tried a few other brands over the years but this was noticeably better, the best one for ice in my experience.
I got weatherpeak 2.5 years ago, and about 31k on them now. Now the thread is about 3/32nd left. Rotated at every 5-7k. Good in snow but so so in wet pavement. Very smooth and quiet even now with such a thin thread left. But very disappointed with the wear.
I got Alenza 275 50/22r as OEM and they are terrible in even the lightest snow. My car is a 2024 escalade ESV 4WD, which should be able to handle light snow, but yesterday I was cornering at 10mph I lost control of the car on 4WD, with probably 1/5 inch of snow on the ground.
I’m also experiencing the same poor tread life with the Weatherpeaks at 16,000 miles. I’m actually slipping on turns now and plan on using the warranty for a replacement. I don’t feel good about these tires.
