Couldn't find Michelin Pilot Alpin 5s in the size I needed so I tried the new Bridgestone Blizzak 6s and so far I'm very happy with them. Super stable on dry highways, Michelin X-Ice Snows were a wobbly mess that made me feel like I was in a boat.
Always had luck with general. But every car rides different currently my Impala likes Bridgestone, my previous vehicles ate Bridgestone.
I'm now on my 3rd winter on Blizzaks because Costco had a deal on them at the time and I thought I'd give them a try. I find them similar, but probably better from the standpoint that I used to be able to spin the X-Ices too easily taking off from a light in slippery conditions, and I can't say that I've noticed that issue as much with the Blizzaks.
For price and performance bridgestone blizzak dmv2. Hands down. You will have a different kind of confidence driving in that crap. Its night and day
OEM Bridgestone Alenza tires are known to be trash and the rears were completely done by ~17k miles. I have ~37k miles on the Michelin CrossClimates and the rears probably have another 20k left in them, fronts have another 30-40k left in them.
I drove from Halifax to vancouver island BC during the first week of Jan 2025, and it wasnt too bad. I have a 2018 ford f250 with 4x4 and bridgestone blizzak snow tires, and it was fine.
I used to commute from Ithaca to Syracuse daily in a mk5 GLI. I had studded Firestone Winterforces on steel wheels. That car was an absolute beast in the snow and regularly outperformed 4x4’s.
My Blizzaks have more tread and I've used them for four seasons now and I noticed last winter that they are absolutely not what they were when I bought them.
I would almost never recommend firehawks. They wear like shit
I’ve had both the firestones and pilot sports on my corvette. The wet weather grip on the PS is much better. I would fishtail pretty regularly with the firestones. Would not recommend if you plan to drive in the rain.
