Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kormoran
I use Bridgestone Weatherpeaks on my 2018 Forester but I live in the east coast of Canada.
I'm running Bridgestone Potenza. I've gone through two sets of Micheline Pilot Sports within 25k miles. I'm hoping these Bridgestones last longer. In terms of performance I don't notice a difference between the two.
Our OEM Primacies are still great in snow after 25k miles.
Bridgestones are all I buy.
I literally just told my wife that I found these Weatherpeaks to be better in the snow than our dedicated winter tires, and not so bad on ice neither.
I roll a set of Bridgestone Blizzak WS90’s on my Chevy Bolt. Very happy with the performance on snow and especially stability on icy roads. As always drive cautiously but the driving feel and confidence is night and day compared to “3 season” tires.
Get blizzak's. You wont regret it. Front of my Beemer acts like a snow plough everywhere I go. Rwd only, no added weight, absolutely unstoppable... (pretty far north myself)
I’ve driven a wide variety of winter tires. Bridgestone, GoodYear, Firestone, Cooper, Michelin, Continental, and one or two others. Some were quieter, some were better on ice, some were better in deep snow. None were terrible. If you go with major brand names, that are not much over 5 years old, you should be ok.
These are my winter tires in Michigan. Seasonal roads only, they suck otherwise for off-roading.
The factory Bridgestone Ecopia tires were trash. They were useless in any wet conditions at 30k miles. It’s rocking some Generals now.
