Tires BRIDGESTONE or GT Radial
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.
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’ve been using blizzaks for almost as decade as my winter tires on my ND. My winter wheels are -1” and the tires are slightly larger in diameter than my summers (~1%). They grip and I feel confident when driving in the snow or rain in winter months.
Persönliche Erfahrung mit Allwetterreifen: wir haben jetzt seit ca. 2,5 Jahren Allwetterreifen auf unserer Familien-Möhre (Opel Corsa D 150ps). Diesen fahre ich sehr selten, da ich mein eigenes Auto habe, bei dem ich von Sommer auf Winterreifen tausche.
Ich habe das Auto dann im Frühjahr auf die Hebebühne gefahren, weil ich Mal drüberschauen wollte, wie der Zustand ist und habe etwas erschrocken festgestellt, dass die Vorderreifen nur noch ca. 1,7 mm Profil haben.
We put a set of these on our 05 XC70 last year. 11K miles later they are down to 4/32 - 5/32. The tread wear is indeed terrible on these.
my Turazas SUCK i got 18k (over almost 3 years) on 80k Turanzas!!!
