Tires BRIDGESTONE or Hifly
I have gone from the Bridgestone Turansa All Season 6 and they have been great so far and a bit cheaper than the Michelins.
One recent set of tires (Bridgestone Potenza Sports - AMAZING!) less than a year ago, new brakes all around approximately 6 months ago.
I had both the Turanza EL440 and those exact Firehawk tires. The Turanza I had would have lasted maybe 55k or 60k if it wasn't for me getting one damaged from a road hazard.
I've always gone Blizzaks. They have been a phenomenal tire when it comes to driving in blizzard like conditions. Hell I was going 70 during a blizzard on a freeway when I had my cobalt in high school with blizzaks.... probably not the best decision back then, but they got my younger self home at the end of the day while many others were in the ditch.
I've been running 225/45-17 Blizzak WS90 since 2020. I'll be putting that same set on again this winter. They have been amazing and I'll probably buy another set when these age out. Edit: this period included a 2300 mile roadtrip across the northern US in early 2021 when we were having a crazy blizzard across the northern plains.
I switched from the OEM Michelin to Bridgestone Quiettrack on my '18 Accord Hybrid and they are much quieter and it handles very well. I'm very happy with them, even if I have always been a Michelin man. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
Have been running 215/45r20 Potenza S001's on my i3s for a year or so and no wobble at all. If anything, feels more planted, and power transfer feels more immediate, though that may be my imagination.
Potenza Sports have a really stiff side wall. They in turn produce a loudee road noise.
I moved to the Anchorage, AK area several months ago. In November, we received a couple of feet of snow. I drove fine in the snow with the stock Turanza tires the first day. But lots of compacting, melting, and refreezing made the roads slick as hell. The stock tires were slipping and sliding all over the ice.
I went from stock 19-20mpg highway, 16-17mpg around town to a 3.5"lift and 295/70r18 Bridgestone Revo AT3s and now I average about 12mpg city and 15-16mpg highway.
