Tires BRIDGESTONE or Giti
Blizzak hands down. I get 3 winters out of a set no problem.
Bought a set of Blizzak WS90s two years ago and they have tons of tread left after two seasons. Wear obviously depends on how you drive, but mine have held up great for regular commuting and trips to the valley. Very good at handling deep snow, never got stuck.
The Blizzaks always performed better, in my experience, and my WS90s have lasted just fine. I’m not sure how they’d be considered bad on dry roads, can’t say I’ve had any issues.
I had WS80s for a few years with no issues.
Blizzak tires are golden lasted 7 years.
I’ve got blizzaks on both vehicles. Only ran generic winter tires before that and the improvement was crazy.
Paid a pretty penny for my WS90s, going on sixth winter still good shape
Have had 2 sets of the Bridgestones on my 2019 Rabbit Edition Gti..2nd set was not my choice..but they were free....not 2 bad..kind of noisy 30 K on the first set..OEM
Just FYI, if you are looking for winter capability (snow/ice) the Weatherpeak sucks after 2 seasons of driving (\~ 30,000kms).
What I have observed is - when I go beyond 100 kmph, I sense vibrations from the tires. I did not face this while I was on my factory 19" tires (Goodyear tires). This was not a one-time thing, on different road conditions, different temperatures, I felt the same vibrations when the speed goes beyond 100-105 kmph. I think it is because of the tires, I can also sense the vibrations on my steering wheel.
