You should expect a slightly worse gas mileage, but not by much. In exchange you're getting excellent traction in the snow and rain though, so definitely a good choice for a tire.
I haven’t gotten my MYLR yet, but on my CX-5 I did a ton of research and the Bridgestone Weatherpeak edged out CC2 on many fronts.
I drove through some bad winter storms on them and they’re a beast. My MPG was also not affected, or were barely affected (like 0.2-0.4mpg less), compared to the Toyo stock tires.
Therefore Firestone builds a tire that doesn't require tire blankets to have a safe level of performance.
I've been running a set of Weatherpeaks on my Kia Seltos since spring.
They are quiet, didn't impact fuel mileage at all from the OEM all seasons, handle great in dry and wet, and the snow traction has been exemplary. Glare ice is not perfect, but really only a good studded winter stands a chance with that. Mixture of snow/ice is handled with no problem...When they do break traction, they have been very predictable and easy to recover.
I put a set of 4 weatherpeaks on our FWD Mazda 3 and I have been very pleased. Quiet, smooth, surprising good in the snow (especially for fwd). And great in dry and rain so far too. Would absolutely buy again.
A set of studded Firestone winterforce..
7 seasons and still great.
I just got a set of CrossClimate 2, it feels like an upgrade from oem bridgestone run flats. Pretty comfy.
I got rid of the run flats on my '14 R60. I put 1 size larger Bridgestone Potenza's on it to help with road vibration. The first set lasted just over 60k miles and I ordered my second set about 5 months ago
I've had sidewall bubbles after pothole impacts on two previous low profile run flat Bridgestone tires which were on previous BMW's
It took me till the day after the first snow when I slid through a red light. They are literal slicks. Get snow tires! Blizzaks make winter magical
