Tires BRIDGESTONE or Goodyear
For Illinois daily driving, I\u2019d go with the Bridgestone WeatherPeak out of the three you listed it\u2019s been the most consistent in wet + light-snow grip and rides smoother than the Contis or the BFGs. I swapped to WeatherPeaks earlier this year and they\u2019ve handled Midwest rain and early flurries way better than my old set.
Took advice and bought 20" AS wheels and Goodyear Wrangler tires at the Richmond SC, and they realigned. Massive improvement.
I have Blizzaks on my AWD BMWs right now, and it makes a huge difference.
If you NEED a great snow tire, nothing beats winter forces or blizzaks.
We got a big snowfall over Thanksgiving, I have these exact tires on my ND. They're great. Obviously they move around a lot more on dry roads but they are excellent in the snow. Acceleration and cornering are great and I had no issues on fairly steep hills either. Like any tire in the snow though, you must leave plenty of stopping distance.
Used to drive those on my NA and passed stranded vehicles daily in the same weather
They're great in snow/ice.
They can be squirmy on dry pavement.
I was running stock Bridgestones - they’re 240 TW. They’re street tires and I don’t think I do enough track days to go w a more track oriented tire. They felt quite good on track. Not great. Good.
The only thing I didn't put right was I bought good year tires and I'm regretting it. After my engine rebuild, the cheap tires are just too easy to spin in the rain.
Mein aktuelles Auto hatte ab Werk GJR drauf, von Bridgestone, A005. Katastrophe nach dem ersten Jahr.
