Tires BRIDGESTONE or GT Radial
Before i tried several brands. Pero i stuck with bridgestone for my car. Matibay and hindi mabilis mapudpod. Tried and tested kahit initial purchase mahal. Sulit siya
I've got Blizzaks on my 19 here in Southwestern Ontario. They've been great so far! We are getting hammered this winter too!
If you want to increase traction you need to get top tier quality such as blizzak ws90 or michelin ice-x
If you end up choosing real winters then Blizzaks or X-Ice genuinely transform the car as I ran Blizzaks on my old RWD coupe when I lived near Ann Arbor and it went from borderline undriveable to genuinely confident on unplowed roads.
Bridgestone ecopia 300 is really quiet compared to my stock maxiss tires
I strongly recommend proper winter tires. At a minimum, at least get winter rated all weather tires. We had a lot of slushy bullshit build up today. The only reason I was able to get out of my neighborhood & make it to a Dr's appointment was because I run Blizzaks on my ND1.
Replaced all four tires recently with Bridgestone terenza as I got a deal at Costco.
Tires are quiet and all that but my efficiency has dropped. With continental an average wh/mi was 210-240, same with Bridgestone is 270-300.
I like Blizzaks, been using them for over 15yrs. I tried the X-ice last year and am kind of disappointed in them for snow performance. They are great otherwise.
I had a nail in my tire with a very slow leak and went to a random tire shop. They did a crappy plug that was not designed for the Elite's self healing tires so I ended up with a very FAST leak instead.
I swapped to 19x8.5 Atomic AW21 wheels (21.3 lbs) with Bridgestone Blizzak 6 XL 235/55R19 tires. So it is a more narrow tire. After noticing my battery percentage dropping surprisingly fast on short trips, I put on the energy app some today and see I'm now using nearly 500 Wh/mi on that same day to day driving. I expected snow tires to have worse rolling resistance, but this seems like a lot. 50% more energy usage equates to a 33% reduction in range. Does that seem normal or excessive?
