Tires BRIDGESTONE or LANDSAIL
Blizzak WS90. Hands down, best winter tire for cars.
But recently tried the Bridgestone Blizzak DM 2 very nice ride.
I love the WS80s on my SX4 though.
I have Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 (18”) on factory wheels on my 2024 Taos SE and only once, as I was approaching 50 mph, did I get that vibration. I got out, checked my wheels, and noticed some snow buildup between the wheel and the brakes (rear wheels, fronts were fine). I cleaned it out and the problem went away.
Aside from Canada 2010, can confirm, Bridgestone tires are durable and great. Own a set on my road car. Well priced too. 10/10. Would equip again.
I basically encounter the same conditions in winter as you do. After having driven many years on winter tyres (Dunlop Winter Sport 5), I switched over to an all-season (Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6).
The benefits in my opinion are better responsiveness while turning in (less block movement of the thread) and the better longevity of the tyre, considering it has to somewhat withstand 30°C+ temperatures by design.
Mine came with the potenza s005. The performance was great but the tire wore out with just 8k miles. To give some prospective, I replaced them with Michelin PS4S and at 6k miles they still measure 7/32 from the factory 9/32. The PS4S provided similar grip levels too.
My friend’s nc had 71rs and after 7 track days he’s finally starting to see excessive shoulder wear.
The Alenza Sport tires on my 2022 Id4 RWD are falling apart after only 9K miles. The 2 front tires are peeling, same as Mrdingdong23 said in the initial post.
I gave up and replaced them all at 12K miles after the second blowout. Plus they ride and handle so much better than those shitty Turanzas.
