Tires BRIDGESTONE or Firestone
Can you afford Bridgestone Blizzaks? If so, get those. They are the best winter tires money can buy unless you literally live on a frozen lake. I had a set of ws80s for 4 or 5 years. I a aolutely loved them, and just put on a new set of ws90s, last year, and they're even better.
I've been getting good service, tires and otherwise, from Firestone for literally decades. Many locations for ongoing service needs and access to history, good road hazard warranty protection, relatively good with appointment timing.
There are now 3 choices of 21, I just got the Bridgestones, and they are night and day better than stock Pirellis. And way cheaper. But these tires changed the whole feel of my R1S.
If you want the best snow tires get blizzacks they are by far the best out there.
Ws 90s are nice
I'm currently running Firehawk Indy 500 Performance tires as all seasons and they do well enough in small amounts of snow
I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.
The weatherpeak is a good tire but I find it struggles a bit in the dry/wet compared to other tires in the segment as a trade off for being really good in snow as an all season.
I have a 2024 nissan pathfinder platinum. Has Bridgestone ALENZA. Dog shit tires. The car has 28k miles. Rotated the tires every oil change about 4-5k miles. And there toast.
I had firestone put 2 on the front of my 2015 Camry. I put 7,000 miles on them and they are already worn out.
