Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kumho
Bridgestones are top rated. Ive been using them for 20 years in Minnesota (brutal road conditions) so incredibly superior to regular summer/all weather tires.
I got kumho ecsta on my wrx right now.
Bridgestone battlecruise, made the switch after burning through too many scorchers and they’ve been a peach so far
These made in the USA Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus Grand Touring All-Season tires rated for 70,000 miles... The Ecopia EP422 Plus is one of Bridgestone's Grand Touring All-Season tires developed for the drivers of coupes, sedans, minivans and small crossover vehicles looking for more tire life per gallon by delivering longer wear and better handling. Designed to enhance vehicle fuel economy by reducing tire rolling resistance along with the vehicle's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, Ecopia EP422 Plus tires deliver year-round, all-season traction, even in light snow.
Yeah my MX5 had Kumo when I got it, and it loved to throw the rear and squeal a bit. Put RE003’s on it when I got a bit of money, holy shit. Suddenly grip monster
Just gave the Weatherpeaks a solid test in snow and ice on a road trip through Seattle and Oregon. On my 2021 CX-5 Signature they performed quite well.
So, back to Kumho I went for my 2017 Passat. This time, I really looked at customer feedback and choose the highest rated ones, the Kumho Majesty 9 Solus line. All season radial. So many people who had Audi, BMW, and Lexus swore by them. Got 'em on with a front end alignment of course. OMG! This is the quietest this car has ever driven. It glides along the road. We can whisper in the car and hear each other.
I really like my kumho AT's ????????♂️
The only tire I've had that didn't feather in the rear was the Kumho ECSTA Platinum LX. But, it's easy to brake the tires loose on APR Stage 1.
Just chiming in here from Wisconsin also with a PP GTI. I also have the ****ty stock Bridgestone AS and they are completely useless in the snow. I don't blame the diff at all as it can't make a ****ty tire magically increase its friction coefficient or change its design pattern.
